 Freud meme: Freued's school of thought was blaming mothers for how a person turned out.

For the short term memory test I  had a 7/12 this test was fairly accurate   since   I  have a very poor short term memory. Memory for faces I  got a 8/10 this test I  think this test was pretty accurate   I  did it a second time and got the same results so this test was accurate because   I  am very good with faces. the last test I did was the memory test for everyday objects and the coin tests was bad. I wasn't able to guess the right coin until the very end. I think this test is accurate because I am a person who cannot remember exact details rather I can remember the general attributes of the object. The formation of memories in the hippocampus area of the brain is a complicated process. It depends on the perfect synchronization of interactions between neurons, neurotransmitters, receptors, and enzymes.  A complex biochemical mechanism involving...

In this instance the student asked the other to help them, complying with the order.   an example of obedience would be obeying a teachers rules and commands.

There hasn't been much research specifically looking at whether music enhances the quality of sleep, but potential reasons include relaxing, diversion from negative thoughts, and masking distracting background noise. It's important to remember that the majority of this research involves people's self-reported sleep. Each morning, participants are in a randomized crossover experiment, and they are required to answer questions regarding their previous night's sleep. Even though this gives us important information about people's perception of their music and is related to many significant outcomes, we can't conclude that music has any actual influence. There are too many other factors that play into whether someone had a good night of rest, like how much deep sleep participants got or how restless they were during the night, which have been linked to physical and mental health. Studies show that music with legato (as opposed to staccato) articulation, moderate to m...

 Our beliefs and past experiences can influence what we see, leading to fill-in images of things not present. Research shows we may place more trust in these made-up visual images than we do in images of things present in reality. Belief influences our visual perceptions, leading to eyewitness claims of extraordinary and unlikely phenomena. UFO believers are more likely to see an alien spaceship in detail than those who do not. Humans experience the world with a delay of hundreds of milliseconds, allowing them to estimate the speed and path of objects in motion and project projected or expected images of where they will be.  This article is very interesting to me; after reading it, it explained a lot and taught me new things. The points brought up in this essay have explained a lot of phenomena in the world. like how we let our beliefs influence what we see, which is why we perceive things differently from our peers. It also explains why we are prone to see things we want to s...

Parietal lobe and substance p  My birthday is November 25th so my superhero is PainSeeker. When PainSeeker was young, his powers were never active. PainSeeker was bullied as a child and has always resented bullies and people who step on the weak. One day he was pushed to his limit, and he awakened his power. His parietal lobe began growing and his body began to produce a lot of substance p. His parietal lobe was so huge he gained the ability to be more in contact his emotions and others as well. He is also able to send or take away substance p to other people and make them feel more or less sensitive to pain . With his newfound powers he goes around seeing who's in pain and tries to take it away. He also goes around the city seeing who is getting bullied and begins giving the bullies more substance p, so they could feel the pain they put through others.
