April Morning Psychology

Throughout this semester of Psychology 150 I have learned a great deal about several different concepts that I consciously, and sometimes unconsciously, find myself applying to my life. There are five different psychology topics I found that held the most relevance to my life. Some of these topics do not deal with myself exclusively, but they do affect the people I hold dear to me. The topics range from disorders to personality differences, and they all affect me in some way, both indirectly and directly.

He took well care of Adam when Adam was crying after his father's death. In the film, Adam's mother was crying and hugging him when Adam returned from battle. Adam's mother and grandmother can see Adam acting just like Moses, and now they thought Adam has become mature. In the result, Adam's grandmother gave me the chair of Adam's father at the dinner table. The film showed the traditional way of Cooper family thanking the god for the food before the whole family began to eat the meal. In the end, the novel shows that Adam started a conversation with his grandmother when"Granny was back in the kitchen when I returned"(Page

Your memory of your first day of high school would be an example of which of the following types of memory?

In Chapter 7 of our What Is Psychology textbook, we learned about the importance, details and strategies of memory techniques. One type of memory is Short Term, which only last up to thirty seconds before forgetting. Whenever has to remember a number or a name, they often repeat the information multiple times so that the Short Term Memory can transition into Long Term Memory. In order for this transition to occur, the information must be constantly repeated, or important enough to be held in the permanent memory, which helps create a “folder” with all retaining information and reminiscing. Another way short term can become long term is using a method called Chunking, this breaks the bigger pictures into smaller ones for the brain to remember,
