    I have never had the opportunity to test a theory formally, but I did test my own theory about what my 6 year old daughter will watch on the television in the evenings by doing my own little experiment. The research method was similar to the Naturalistic observation. When she is done with her homework my wife and I will let her sit down and watch a couple of hours of television of her own choosing. She would either watch television in her own room alone or with us as a family watching what she chose downstairs together. I found that when she was with us she would choose a program that was a sitcom show, such as “Good…

    History can prove that the consciousness of fertility can cause females to flaunt just how fertile they are to the proper mating pool through ornamentation. It was researched through the observation of mating rituals in birds. Females are known to lavishly decorate their nests with flowers, leaves and the best twigs they can find just to attract a suitable mate. Although the studies and observations can prove that females tend to make themselves stand out to a partner, yet, there is still the question of why. In a study (Hasleton, Mortezie, Pillsworth, Bleske-Rechek, Fredrick 2007) has come up with a study on ornamentation and how it is affected by shifts in the ovulatory cycle. Hasleton et al. (2007) hypothesizes “that changes in women’s motivations manifest themselves in changes in self-ornamentation through attentive personal grooming and attractive choice of dress.” thus a woman is more motivated to go out and find a man once they have adorned themselves in the proper dress that makes them feel attractive.…

    Scientists and psychologists have studied the topic of learning for more than a century, and merely scratched the surface of how the brain functions in respect to learning and cognition. Factors, such as learning is a basic function of human beings, and humans are born with specific innate abilities, however it is still somewhat of a mystery how the process of learning is accomplished. Within this essay, a definition of learning, the component of behavior concerning learning, two diverse methods of learning, and the affiliation linking learning and cognition will be examined.…

    In this paper we will be discussing six major schools of thought in psychology and examining their major underlying assumptions. The first school of thought we will discuss is Functionalism. This thought attempts to describe thoughts and what they do without asking how they do it. It’s the “why and how” concept. This thought pattern resembles and functions like a computer in many ways. The second thought we will discuss is Gestalt Psychology. According to Gestalt psychologists, the human mind works by interpreting data through various laws, rules or organizing principles, turning partial information into a whole. For example, your mind might interpret a series of lines as a square, even though it has no complete lines; your mind fills in the gaps. Gestalt psychotherapists apply this logic to problem-solving to help patients. The third thought pattern we will discuss is Psychoanalysis. This is a theory which originated with Sigmund Freud, explains human behavior by looking at the subconscious mind. Freud suggested that the instinct to pursue pleasure, which he described as sexual in nature, lies at the root of human development. To Freud, even the development of children hinged on key stages in discovering this pleasure, through acts such as feeding at the mother's breast and defecating, and he treated abnormal behavior in adults by addressing these stages. The fourth is Behaviorism, in the 1950s, B.F. Skinner carried out experiments with animals, such as rats and pigeons, demonstrating that they repeated certain behaviors if they associated them with rewards in the form of food. Behaviorists believe that observing behavior, rather than attempting to analyze the inner workings of the mind itself, provides the key to psychology. This makes psychology open to experimental methods with results that can be replicated in the same way as any scientific experiment. Next we will examine Humanistic Psychology, this thought process teaches…
