Week Eight

This is week eight of my online psychology class. In this week, I have learned how people growth, change and develop. I am learning less compare to other chapter because I already took human growth and development class. This chapter is about the human life span. During prenatal period, mainly three stages germinal, embryonic, and fetal stages. Children development affects both nature and nurture or gene and environment. Infants’ and children’s brain are highly plastic or changeable. I have a good review in this chapter.

The week 7

This is a seven week of my psychology class. I have learned about motivation, emotion and behavior. I knew the new that when we are hungry or shut off hunger, receptors of our stomach monitor the in take of the food and contraction of the stomach, and then signal the brain. Even though I learned many theory of emotion, I believe cognitive- meditational theory which states that our cognitive appraisal of a situation determines what emotion we feel in the situation. Another things I learned what caused sexual orientation and what is sexual arousal and response?

The week 6

This we have learned how we think and learn. The way of congnition in which we store and use information. there is a lot of information which is very important to know. how we reason and make decision, judgements. How we can solve the problem, and how we development and use our language. The intelligence is measued by IQ( intelligence quotient) score which divided one's mental age by one's chronological age. these all are very interesting to read and learned.

Week Five

This week is a very busy week so far. We are learning two chapters 5 & 6. the chapter 5 is related to learning including classing conditioning, operant conditioning, and social learning. in classing condtioning, we have learned from Wotson and Rayner's experience which is called Little Albert which shows the emotional responses. We learn from consequences of our actions in the operant conditioning where B.F. Skinner did great contribution to study this learning. Social learning occurs by observing and modeling others. the chapter 6 is about how memory functions like three stages of memory including sensory, shot- term and long -term.
