What Type of Person Will You Become?
Inside Out is an adventure filled, animated movie with comedy throughout. Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen directed it. Pete Docter, Ronnie Del Carmen, Meg LeFauve, and Josh Cooley wrote it. It has a great teaching point for its watchers. In fact, it hits on many psychological aspects of life. It is about a young girl by the name of Riley, who endures a huge change in her life. This is affecting her ecological systems. Her emotions are triggering a problem that is hard for her to overcome while Joy and Sadness are missing. The movie can be connected to psychology in multiple ways. For instance, it talks about core memories, the importance of feelings and emotions, and the difficult part of life, when things cannot be controlled. Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen show the viewers of “Inside Out” how memories, feelings, emotions, and struggles in our lives are all inevitable to shape who we have (or will) become, by reenacting the mind of a girl experiencing the middle childhood stage of her life. (Doctor, 2015)

Riley has to deal with a huge change in her life when she moves to San Francisco, and she is not sure how she feels about it. She reminisces on her life back in the Midwest and becomes upset. Her parents do the best they can to let her know that everything will be okay. After going through some tough situations she pulls through and is happy with her life. (Doctor, 2015) Like the movie, memories, feelings, emotions, and uncontrollable outcomes can shape the way you live life. It is important for a person to understand these things because they can better control them. So what can we do to help children understand these things while they are young, so they can experience events happily and not have to regret a moment in their life when they should have acted

    The pituitary-adrenal system involves activation of the hypothalamus which then stimulates the pituitary gland resulting in the release of the hormone ACT-H. This stress hormone stimulates the release of corticosteroids from the adrenal cortex. These help to control blood sugar levels and make fats available for energy.…

    First, Pavlov used soundproof lab because it allowed to isolate experimenters from all extraneous stimuli during the experimental procedures. Second, Pavlov chose food as unconditioned stimulus because food will elicit the unconditioned response, which was the salivation of the dog. In order to find a neutral stimulus that was completely unrelated to food, Pavlov decided to use the metronome as the neutral stimulus . The ticking of the metronome was exposed to the dog, immediately followed by the food. After numerous trials under this condition, the dog has began to salivate after hearing the ticking of the bell. In another word, the metronome has changed from neutral stimulus to conditioned stimulus , which has created the conditioned response of dog's salivation. Pavlov and his assistants also elaborated on this preliminary finding by using different unconditioned and neutral stimuli. For example, the odor of vanilla was presented after a mild acid solution (similar to lemon juice) was placed in the dog's mouth . The mild acid solution caused the dog to salivate . However, after several trials, the dog began to salivate solely to the odder of vanilla . Another importance finding was that the neutral stimulus did not affect the subjects conditioning if it was presented after the unconditioned stimulus. Pavlov first gave the mild acid solution to the dog; and after awhile, presented the odor of vanilla . But there was no significant change of the dog's behavior. The odor of vanilla did not changed to a conditioned stimulus. he theory of Classical Conditioning (aka Pavlovian conditioning) has now been accepted universally and unchanged since its first finding through Pavlov's work. It is now used to explain various different human behaviors, such as causation of phobias, why people dislike certain food, source of emotions, etc. Pavlov's finding has showed that classical conditioning focuses on reflexive behaviors,…

    As John Bradshaw states in his book, all wounded children carry their wounds with them into adulthood. If a child is still struggling and not healing from their childhood, they will produce those actions and emotions throughout their life until they have gone through the healing process. The more we know about our childhood and wonder where our creativity and imagination went to, they more we do our best as adults to get it all back. There are ways to prevent our wounded inner child from tagging along in our adulthood, as well as, into our own families and to our children.…

    The 1st key that Dr. Clark talked about was understanding their journey. I believe this, in many ways, can be very difficult in today’s world. This can be a challenge not only for the child, but the parents as well. We as parents, need to realize that this journey, this season, is about them. As much as we may want to live out some of our childhood dreams through our children, this is their time to write their own story. This is not our time to mold them into what we wish we could have been, or have them try to experience or feel things we wish we could of felt. It is their time to become their own unique self. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” Romans 12:2 (ESV). Adolesence is a time that they need us to truly listen and hear what they are saying. We need to let them know they are valued, that we are their supporters and their fans. We need to relish in their uniqueness and understand that they are eager to become their own person.…

    With child abuse cases on the rise, children are being used as evidence in the courtroom; this involves them giving accurate eye witness testimony. Parker and Carranza conducted a laboratory study in 1989 to study the accuracy of age in eye witness testimony. They showed a mock crime scene video to a sample of primary school children and a sample of college students. They found that the primary school children were more likely to ‘just pick’ a criminal from a line up compared to college students who were hesitant about choosing anyone but they were more likely to identify the correct person; concluding that adults were more likely to give accurate eye witness testimonies. On the other hand though Ceci and Bruck completed a study that concluded children may have more accurate eye witness testimonies as they have no prejudices or schemas. They don’t stereotype people and are more likely to tell you it ‘how it is’. The lack of a schema in children means that they can sometimes be more useful than adult eye witness testimonies as they have no preconceptions of the crime/incident. Goodman and Schaff showed that the language used when asking a child a question may affect a child’s recall because of their level of understanding and word development. Overall it has to be said that children give a less detailed EWT but this doesn’t mean that it is any less accurate. Young children are more prone to leading questions and are more likely to change their answer if a question is repeatedly asked because they feel they need to impress someone and the judge is ‘correct’ on comparison to them.…

    My paper is based on an article from the text 's web site (chapter 9) entitled "Lack of sleep ages body 's systems." The basic claim of the article is that sleep deprivation has various harmful effects on the body. The reported effects include decreased ability to metabolize glucose (similar to what occurs in diabetes) and increased levels of cortisol (a stress hormone involved in memory and regulation of blood sugar levels). The article also briefly alludes (in the quote at the bottom of page 1) to unspecified changes in brain and immune functioning with sleep deprivation.…
