 Dear future AP psych students,                    The journey will be long and hard as you continue down the path of a psychologist. You may struggle on the quizzes and maybe the midterm also but if you study and commit yourself  YOU WILL SUCCEED! I advise all future students to not fret over a bad quiz grade because I had many of those and I am still doing just fine, so move on to better things. Through the journey you will end up at a point where you will have a group project, I found this project most interesting as it was very interactive and gave me the chance to learn while hanging with friends. And finally to Miss Halfen, watching you teach was interesting and fun, but I think we should include more quizizz because they were a very fun way to learn.                                          ...

Post 8: Memes

 I try to attempt to explain the serial position effect by making the guy only recall the first and last part of the sentence. This demonstrates illness anxiety disorder because they take pills to avoid covid. Wording effect is used her because the kids dad left to the store but the son thinks he has died. The man hears his name from across the room without paying attention which explains the cocktail party effect. The idea for this meme is to show that the astronaut is schizophrenic because bugs can't be in space(hallucination) but he sees it and shoots it.

Post 7 my memory

  For this test I was shown a face and supposed recreate it. I got 4 pieces of the face out of 10, which is not bad because I recreated the face but not the head shape. For this test I was shown words then I'm supposed to write down the words I remember. I got 11 out 12 which is above average. I see pennies often because of work so this task felt simple. I was supposed to pick the real penny and I happened to have chosen correctly.

Post 6, sports!

Compliance:  The act of submitting to the demands or desires of others is referred to as compliance. Compliance in sports is frequently observed when participants adhere to the game's rules and regulations. For instance, in order to prevent injuries, football players are forced to wear helmets and other safety equipment. If these regulations are broken, sanctions or disqualification may follow. Obedience :  Following the instructions or directions of a person in charge is known as obedience. When athletes adhere to the rules set forth by their coaches or team captains, they are demonstrating obedience in sports. For instance, during a game, a basketball player can be told to use a particular defensive tactic. The success of the squad may depend on how well the players follow their coach's instructions. Social Facilitation:  Describes how people work more effectively when they are surrounded by others. When players perform better in front of a cheering crowd, social facili...

Magic

    Many "magicians" are known for card and mind magic, but is it really considered magic? The truth lies psychology. The work of sleight of hand isn't disappear and reappear but actually a manipulation of attention, this works by distracting the audience from the real trick then regaining the attention after the trick is done. The same goes for mind tricks, by repeating words and mental images they can put a person into a state of hypnosis.

Senses and Stuff!

                 Did you know that the human nose and sense one trillion smells! Not just that but every single one of us has a different smell. How we smell is determined at birth because of our genes, which is crazy to me because I always thought some ones personal smell comes solely from their home or detergent they use. The human nose can detect so many scents but I refuse to believe that there are one trillion because everyday I feel like I smell the same things.

 The Visualator was born on June 7, 2006, he seeks out those who need visual help and desire new memories. The Visualator was a child of wartime and refugees. One day he got caught and was treated as a lab rat, his occipital lobe seemed to have become abnormal after the experiments. He learned that he could cure the blind and help those traumatized like him to create new memories, and when fighting evil he could do the opposite. Now the Visualator has become the beacon of hope and security of wartime.
