Dr Herta Oberheuser Experiment

The Little Albert experiment has become a widely known case study that is continuously discussed by a large number of psychology professionals. In 1920, behaviorist John Watson and his assistant Rosalie Rayner began to conduct one of the first experiments done with a child. Stability played a major factor in choosing Albert for this case study, as Watson wanted to ensure that they would do as little harm as possible during the experiment. Watson’s method of choice for this experiment was to use principles of classic conditioning to create a stimulus in children that would result in fear. Since Watson wanted to condition Albert, a variety of objects were used that would otherwise not scare him. These objects included a white rat, blocks, a

The Mythbusters observed the myth that driving whilst talking on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. They formed their hypothesis that driving on the phone is as dangerous as driving drunk. Then, they tested their hypothesis. They created an experiment that would have participants drive a car through a course three times. Each time a participant went through the course, they experience different conditions. The first time, both participants drove through the course normally. This served as the control group for the experiment. The second time, participants were asked questions over the phone while they completed the course, and, the third time, they were drunk when they drove through the course. Throughout the experiment, there were several independent variables in place to ensure that only one variable was being tested.

As a child, I felt like a mutant with a horrible disease. I had a medical condition that no doctor could properly diagnose. I went to four different doctors and two specialists, yet not one could give me a straight forward answer as to why I feeling so horrible. Not only was I concerned, but so was my mother. At the age of five, I started what felt like countless tests to try to determine what was causing me to be in so much pain and be so nauseated that I would sleep on the bathroom.

Prior to this assignment, my feelings from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) solely came from images in the media. Two instances that stand out to me is the portrayal of ECT in an episode of "American Horror Story: Asylum" and from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Although I realize media is not an accurate representation of reality, these scenes stood out to me due to the intense, emotional display of ECT's effects through the patient's eyes. Despite the unrealistic depiction of ECT, one accurate aspect of the scenes is that ECT was commonly used during the 1960s-1970s to improve mental disturbances and a variety of psychological disorders. I think the reason these scenes stood out to me was that ECT was implemented without the patient's informed consent or agreement upon the treatment regimen, utilized as a way to subdue patients into compliance. Contrary to modern use of ECT, this type of therapy was used as a form of punishment, implemented

Some inmates, or patients as we were instructed to call them were not always as serene as the others. My first assignment was to simply watch a lady, making sure she stayed away from mirrors or anything reflective, she was a colored lady named Louise she was thirty-five from Asheville, North Carolina. Louise had a full blown phobia of black people; I found it odd that a lady could be terrified of her own racial ethnicity, as she could see her own hands apart from her arms, but as it was my first job; I did as I was told causing me to chalk up the fact that it was possible, nevertheless, I did work in a mental institution. The first few months were rough the staff was constantly paranoid of her seeing her reflection. She inevitably became restless of being in the same room every day. I brought her food and kept her clean I also made sure she was stable; apart from the occasional doctor, I was the only person she

The disorder I choose was Susto, Susto is a disorder of being frighten and chronic somatic suffering stemming from emotional trauma. The trauma can come from either witnessing or traumatic experiences lived by others. Susto indigenous from Central Americans and Texas, however this illness is very common in the Central America. Apparently Susto is conceptualized as a series of spirit attacks. A symptom that occurs during this illness includes loss of appetite, loss of interest in personal appearance, depression and many more symptoms that applies to Susto.

When the wave starts out Laurie likes the concept of it and everybody else does too. But when everybody else started to grow more inclined to it she liked it less. Laurie started to come to multiple realizations about the wave after a supper conversation with her parents. When Laurie told her parent about it her father was supportive of it but her mother was not very fond of it. Her mother disliked how everyone was stripped of individuality. All the students in the wave aside from Laurie barely spoke for themselves as their own person. Just for the wave. Laurie didn't like how the experiment robbed people of their own opinions, how everyone is listening to Mr. Ross and obeying to him and how the people inside the wave treat outsiders.

Weigh the mass of the beaker including the 300mls of water in it on a scale to record the weight, taking away the weight of

Dr. Holmes was an infamous con artist and serial killer. Born as Herman Mudgett, Dr. Holmes, experimented on pets and other common forest animals. He tortured these animals, dissecting them while they were still alive, practicing and increasing his knowledge on how long a living animal could survive with the excruciating pain deriving from Henry’s torture. As an adult, Henry documented in his autobiography that while visiting his doctor as a child, older boys would shove human display skeletons in his way, terrifying him. Therapists and the

Wore clean, intact safety glasses to avoid any splashes of chemicals that may contact the eye, and recorded qualitative data of reactants, such as colour, odour, shape etc., of hydrochloric acid and magnesium metal ribbon prior to the experiment.

Use a weigh boat and scoopula to measure out 0.75 g of agarose onto a digital scale. Make sure to tare the digital scale before weighing the powder. Pour the powder into a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask.

Once he left my mother and I spent a few more moments together until the nurse anesthetist returned with medication to put me to sleep. The nurse inserted the dosage into my IV, the anesthesia burned as it passed into me through the tube. A few minutes later they came and started to roll me away, I entered a cold room as I looked around I noticed my white board with my name on it was well as the surgery the surgical team would be performing. After they asked me to transfer myself onto the table, I groggily tried to keep my eyes open. My doctor had appeared in the room, and as he was positioning my wrist darkness over took me.

For safety concerns, the titrant was handled with gloves when pouring. and eyeglasses were worn to prevent liquid from entering it. In addition, hair was tied back and enclosed shoes were worn during the experiment.

Since the 20th century, the procedure that took place to prepare the prisoner for medical testing hasn’t changed drastically over the years; especially in prisons in the United States. Holmesburg is a prison in Philadelphia that housed many diverse kinds and forms of pharmaceuticals tested, and the US army forces are one of the many famous sponsors of Holmesburg (Hornblum, 1997). For the procedure to start, the most vital foundation is the consent from the subject. After the subjects sign the consent form, they would be debriefed and interviewed about the experiment. Debriefing about experiments wasn’t common in Holmesburg prison and researchers would just reply vaguely; the samples that were to be tested were also just numbered and sometimes
