Schizophrenia and A Beautiful Mind

Maladaptive: Going to the campus all the time to work on math problems and also his smoking habit

Atypical: Seeing people that are not there

Disturbing: Almost drowned his son in the tub, because he though someone was watching him.

Unjustifable: Trying to keep his family together was hard to do because of his sickness

Bullying

When Mr. Verboomen came to talk to us about bullying issues in our school, I wasnt really surprised about it because I see alot of it going on. Even if it someone knocking someone elses books over or pushing people out of the way bullying is in our school. it seems like people in this school have very little manners. I usually don't pay enough attention, but when I do see someone who got their books knocked over I help them.

Dreams and Latent Content

Dream 1: When I was younger one of my reoccuring dreams was being chased by a little fuzzy guy with legs on a ship that looked like it was floating in the air.

Dream 2:  Another dream I used to have all the time was standing in the middle of a random field and my parents would be standing next to me and they would make me wait for this one farmer guy and he would be driving a truck with a trailer full of trantulas. the spiders would be dumped out then my dream would end.

Dream 3: Also, another dream that I recently had was about me being chased through doors by a bear and my ex-boyfriend, but it was every other door was the bear and then my ex, like they were taking turns chasing me.

Meaning of Dream 1: Being chased in your dreams means that you are more willing to run away and hide from your problems rather than confront them.

Meaning of Dream 2: My fear of spiders are also in my dreams, because its what im afraid of in reality.

Meaning of Dream 3: Also, means that in reality I would run away from my fears rather that confront them.

Little Albert

Did the results of Watson and Rayner's experiment support their hypothesis's? Explain.
     -Watson and Rayner's result of their experiment supported their hypothesis by showing that Little Albert
        was frightened by the sight of the same object they had showed him before because they would make a
         frightening sould that would scare him every time they showed that object.

How did Albert's respond become gerneralized?
   - Albert's respond became generalized by showing him white furry objects but he showed no fear towars dissimilar toys.

How were the principles of classical conditioning used to reduce Peter's fear of rabbits?
   - Jones helped peter get over his fear of rabbits by pairing the sight of rabbits with a pleasent experience's like eating ice cream or getting special attention.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I was kinda surprise at the end I wasnt expecting that. I was kinda weird as well. Beauty does change over time. Beauty in Wisconsin is were people always dressed the same. Shop at the same place. tanning and having your nails done is what people think is beauty in 2010.

role playing

During our class stimulation on role playing, I had the role of the #1 graduate student. My attitude did not change throughout the experiment, I felt like the same person the whole time. In the movie that we watched, Quiet Rage, Zimbardo had some people act as a guard or a prisoner. What had surprised me was how horrible the guards treated the prisoners and how some of prisoners started thinking it was an actual prison, and how prisoner 416 went crazy. I was also surprised that the people who were in the prisoner role didnt mention what the guards do to them and tell their parents. If had to play the role of a prisoner, I would probably not be very happy, because of how bad the guards treated them. I also was shocked when #416 had to sit an extra day in the whole with dirty sausages because the other prisoners didnt want to give up their blanket for only one night.

the lobatomist

The movie that we watched about the lobatomy procedure and walter freeman, was very interesting. It was kind of cool to see that he was trying to help people with problems that they had, that were affecting their brain. One thing that I didnt like was that he would do lobotomy on people for "dumb" reasons. For example, a 4-year old acting up and throwing a temper. A parent would want it done because they didnt think it was normal for their child to act like that. I dont think walter freeman was a "mad man". I think he was just a person trying to do something in the world, trying to make a change.
