“Books are a uniquely portable magic” – Stephen King. Books are one of the major elements that made me have the decision to study in the field of Psychology. My inspiration for psychology came from a popular psychologist, in a chapter from a book series, “Princess Diaries”, by Meg Cabot. The story has strongly influenced me about how psychology explains humans’ cognition. Since then, I have been captivated to delve into psychology and develop my interest in the cognitive neuroscience

    Ap Psych Prologue Outline

    The human brain has perplexed the minds of philosophers since the age of the ancient Greeks. In the late 1800s, the study of the brain-psychology-became its own discipline independent from philosophy when the scientific method was employed to study the underlying mechanisms of the psyche. Although the original research produced by the first psychologists was widely subjective and biased, it helped to pave the way for serious research conducted later in psychology's history.…

    Learning: Classical Conditioning

    Learning is more than a person sitting at a desk and studying off a book. Everything that we do is a result of what we have learned. We respond to things that happen to us, we act and experience consequences from our behavior, and we observe what others say and do. Psychologists explain our many experiences with basic learning processes.…

    One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

    After watching the stunning 1975 film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, I realized that this film has a meaningful message of individualism. Psychologist B.F. Skinner believed, that psychology should observed behaviors that could be measured and verified (Hockenbury and Hockenbury 8). Skinner also argued that behavior is a simply influenced by the environment (P. 19). I do believe that from the 1970’s until the present day this film has influenced many people and societies. It has made people realize the importance of understanding human behavior and its mental processes. For many decades psychologists have been studying the human brain and human behavior and for some of them the performance of a lobotomy was in past years a solution to mental illness problems. However, lobotomies are still being performed at many mental institutions throughout the country, and I personally believe that this is a crucial way to treat patients with mental illness. As an example, in the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, doctors performed a lobotomy on Randall Patrick McMurphy in order to solve his behavior problem, but it only changed his life in a negative way, making him a vegetable. Psychologists should have tried a different procedure before even proceeding with such a practice. Maybe they should have considered the practice of Psychoanalysis to understand the causes of McMurphy’ behavior. Sad but true, it was too late for McMurphy to get himself out of this mess and he did not have the opportunity to try any other program that might would have helped him.…

    The Eight Guidelines to Critical Thinking

    In the discipline of Psychology, there are eight guidelines to critical thinking. This essay will discuss all of them with examples to help understand each one. The first is to Ask Questions: Be willing to wonder (Wade & Travis, 2008 p.8). Young children may ask questions such as, “Why is the sky blue Mommy?” “Why doesn’t the plane fall?” Why don’t pigs have wings?” Unfortunately, as children grow up, they tend to stop asking “why” questions. Why is this the case? Vincent Ruggiero (1988) observed, “The trigger mechanism for creative thinking is the disposition to be curious, to wonder, to inquire.” “Asking ‘Whats wrong here?’ or ‘Why is this the way it is, and how did it come to be that way?’ leads to the identification of problems and challenges.”…
