Senses and Stuff

 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 see. Overall, this article was both informative and entertaining.

For the next year kids

My advice would be to od the vocab and look over the near pods for psychologists and extra facts My favorite activity was the parts of the brain it was really fun assembling them and eating them after  I think you could leave out where the brain parts are located specifically (the diagram we drew of the brain) I think they need to just know the relative position. I think you could do more group projects and teach more in-depth about each psychologist cause I think that will help understand the psychologist and their significance.

Psych memes

 Freud meme: Freued's school of thought was blaming mothers for how a person turned out. He thought if something was wrong with you it was because your mom didn't do enough or she did something wrong. https://imgflip.com/i/7kilyd Learned helplessness meme: someone with learned helplessness typically feels like no matter what they do they'll fail so they never try again. So someone with learned helplessness will feel never attempt to do something ever again after failing and feeling hopeless.  https://imgflip.com/i/7kingr Hippocampus/memory meme:  Our hippocampus is in charge of memory. Most high school students study at last minute this most likely upsets and put a strain on our hippocampus https://imgflip.com/i/7kioxo Diffusion of responsibility meme:  with the diffusion of responsibility, we assume someone else will do it since there are so many people. in this scenario, he is drinking tea and ignoring the dying person  https://imgflip.com/i/7kipqb extrinsic m...

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...
