fading dot - you are suppose to look at the blue dot in the middle and it is suppose to fade into the green
wigs and robbing banks - you can't really describe people as best as you think you can, people look different in many ways
sliding grey scale - they are suppose to disappear then come back
shimmer - it is suppose to make it move
bird in a cage - if you look at one bird for 20 seconds then look away then you see the bird
Mona - it makes the appearance look different because it is upside down
squirming palm - you are seeing movement when you stare for a long period of time so you think it is moving but it isn't
depth spinner - this shows you that if it spins a certain way and you stare at it then you look at the wall and it makes it move towards you, that's what I got
disappearing act - you see how fast you can spot the animal
fastball reaction time - my reaction time was 0.26 seconds and I got a base hit so it says most peoples reaction time would be 2 seconds.


1. Perceptual Judgments in sports - depth perception
2. depth cues - different kinds
3. test your understanding of depth perception - numbers of monocular depth cues
4.  depth and motion - static situations

my score for the quiz is 10

Nash Equilibrium - where each group discusses a strategy but the other group doesn't know about the other.


Game Theory - where ones action depends on the other participants


Prisoner Dilemma - where two players have choices that depend on the other critically

Well I started out with cooperate and so we both got the same amount of coins but then I went off track and picked compete and I got more which of course then he ended up going the same way so my point is if you play fair then the other opponent plays fair but when you make an unexpected twist, it all turns around.

Game theory/prisoners dilemma - when two people are faced to face with each other and have to make a choice on their own which could affect the other.


In history - 1920's it started


In government - talks about Darwinism


In economics - it deals with most economics, if you deal with concepts


Related to sociology - it relates to this a bit


Related to psychology - yes it deals with a lot of psychology


In your everyday life - yes it happens everywhere where people make decisions


we did oil pricing in class with two different groups and we both agreed to cooperate and pick the same price but then not my group but the other group decided to go the other way so we got lied to. Then we did it where we chose colors and we all ended up choosing red every time and not blue, we eventually chose blue but then you would lose.


I would go with 10 because I enjoyed the game activities but I'm assuming we would have been better if we all just cooperated with each other and been honest with each other we both would of had a lot of money for our countries.

Today we have learned about inkblots and we had to write down what we see. I saw things similar to what others have saw but some I saw very different and some I couldn't figure out at all, I guess most people are like that. There are ten pictures you are shown and you only have a limited amount of time to write down what you see, most doctors and psychologists will show these inkblots to test you, you are allowed to turn the picture any way you want it, you don't have to just look at it one way. Some see sexual things in the images, it is not uncommon for that though, from my understanding you just do your best and see where it goes, everyone's brains work differently which mean everyone sees different things than any other person.  My results came out pretty good like I said I got most of them right, it was a good test to find out what everyone sees. To me this test looks invalid because not everyone sees the same thing, it could be one or more things people see but some are way off the charts so I guess it could be valid but I am going with invalid, you don’t really need this at all. This test is just a test to diagnose you, it can be optional to where you don’t have to take it.

I would rather have short- term memory than long-term memory because if something bad happened to you whether it is personal or not then that is stuck with you for life, you will never forget that situation, it is there forever. I would rather forget about the bad things in the past rather than remember it for a life time. That if a memory that either you want or you don’t want to remember, some people even suffer because of some bad memories during their life. Anyways back to this assignment, I feel short-term memory is very important in life because even with short-term memory you can still remember things like Roy G Biv for the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet).

Memory




Sometimes they say our memory can deceive us and sometimes it does I heard, sometimes we hear a story and then it gets repeated only different detail. Brian Williams is branded a liar, he tells a different story and that is why he's a liar. He says how memory can change over time. you have all these people saying he is a liar and how he is convicted of false memory. Everyone has misremembering events happen in their lives, doesn't make you an absolute liar, you are just remembering what you have heard. If a person tells you a story and you repeat it then you are telling another person so according to Brian Williams they think he is lying because he keeps telling a different story so technically it is unfair, they said he kept telling the stories differently many times. Many people say things that are not true to be honest with you, how could Brian Williams be a liar if he is just telling you what he has heard from other people, does that make them a liar to? This is like playing the telephone game where you whisper ear to ear the same story and see how it turns out in the end. Lots of people do this around the world because we all tell stories and it gets around pretty easily. A witness could remember a car crashing, smashing, hitting, while a person in the car would remember just a car crash, others outside of the crash remember different things that others have missed, like if a guy remembered two cars hitting but the other guy looked away at the time so he didn't see it.

task or skill


I have taught my son, Josiah, how to crawl just recently, I usually put an object in front of him and he normally started to get to the object. I'll put a remote control in front of him or a raddle and he will start to kick his legs and then he scoots by pushing his legs to move his body to reach the object. I went on the internet to find how to get babies to crawl and it gave me ideas. I followed them ideas as I just told you on how to have your baby crawl. He is not getting the hang of it, he is learning more quickly.

Eliza the online therapist is not helping, she doesn’t follow questions I ask, she asked me if I had any psychological problems, I said no and she asked me again like I had psychological problems. Then she asks why I repeat myself well she asked a yes or no question you will repeat yourself. I don’t believe this is reliable, waste of time, she repeats questions and stuff. I asked her how she was and she said “perhaps in your fantasies I am”, to me that’s creepy. As you see she don’t give you what you really want to know.

I hope to gain knowledge and learn from you the best I can so I can have a good education. I am interested in being a nurse so I would like to learn the study of psychology because it is the study of the human mind and how it works. I would like to experience you teaching me what you know and all you know. I would like to pass and move on to college. I am hoping to gain better behavior and better knowledge. If I am going to be a nurse then I need as much help and knowledge as possible. Nursing is a great career, it saves many lives, you have to be able to work with people and their behaviors and that’s what nursing seems to be about because you have to help others and interact with them, study them, figure out what they do and what makes them do it. Understand the environment you live in, what surrounds you. My goal is for you to teach me the behaviors of others, human mind, working with people. The goal I am reaching is for you to teach, me to learn and bring what I know to my future job as a nurse.
