I learned that my grandpa had it a lot harder than I did, and i dont think that i would like to be a teenager at that time. One thing that i learned from chapter four was that some cultures are totally way different in that some leave there kids out on the street while that are in the stores because there is so much trust in the community. In chapter five i learned that if you abuse a child it can retard his development and that is interesting because maybe thats why some kids are slower that others because the had different forms of disipline.

The first thing that I found intereseting was that people spend six years of their lives dreaming, this is interseting to me because I cant fathom that this would take six years of my life up. The second thing that I thouhgt was interesting was that Hypnosis is triggered by your susceptibility to being hypnotized and that you can control what you do. I also didnt know that amphetamines tiggered a dopamine release and this triggers you being more social and you having a "feel good" type of night.

The activities that I did were "Seeing more than your eye does", which shows you that your eye has a blindspot where it makes up images, and the second avtivity is "contrast/color illusion" and that one makes you distinguish if optical illusions are tricks or not. I thought that i would learn from those activities but it was kind of a let down cause i had done similar things in the past, when I took anatomy and physiology. This does change how we interact with the world, because we think that we can see everything but in turn we cant cause even out own eyes make things up. The video "Man with two brains" was very interesting in the fact that he can can use both hands seperatley, but on the other hand it would be frustrating not being able to comprehend what some things are because you would need both hemispheres to work together to process them.

I thought that psychology was just the study of how people operate and how they behave and what makes them do the things that they do. Now that I have read chapter one I realized that mos of my assumptions were in the ball park but that there was more too it like how they do studies with control groups and random people and charts and reserch what kind of culture they come from. I think that psychology effects my life in the way that if i understood it better that I'd be able to tell if something is wrong with a person and maybe be able to tell that later on in the walk of life if I become a teacher that i child would have behavioral problems. The first thing that i learned was that a there are studies done to find out things in peoples lives that can be potentially in everyones lifem, and this really gets me intrigued cause i would not mind donig experiments and finding out evidence to help further research in the field of psychology. The second thing that really caught my attention was that u can learn a lot about a persons behavior on how their culture is, I like that because i never really knew that and it would be interesting to that correlation.

The importance of research is to to get enough evidence to support what you are looking for or to disprove a fact that you know can't be supported. I have learned that when you know something is going to happen and it does that it is called hindsight bias, I personally didnt know about this and it happens to me a lot i guess i just have to much of a predivtive life. Another thing that I learned in this chapter is that case studies are a hands on type of research that helps people learn the things that all of us have deep inside of us. The last thing that i learned is that people behave differently based on how their culture has acted in the past years.
