...Nigora Raufova Psych 150 “Babies” Reaction Paper The film is showing four beautiful babies: Ponijao from Namibia, Mari from Tokyo, Bayar from Mongolia and Hattie from San Francisco. All four babies are surrounded by different macrosystems but display similar developmental patterns regardless of their upbringing. All these children still must go through the same developmental milestones. In the first year of life babies undergo dramatic changes, many of these are observed in this film. All four babies are living in their own microsystems, each very different from one another. Ponijao has a big family consisting of several siblings, Bayar lives with his parents and a brother, and Mari and Hattie are the only children for their parents, which is a typical situation in developed countries. We see the babies going through the Sensorimotor Stages as soon as they were born, they all were breastfed, which is a sign that they had sucking reflexes that are connected with rooting reflex and breastfeeding. There was an episode where Babinski reflex shown: Mari was sitting in her highchair and a family cat playing with baby’s feet. I noticed that Mari had all possible toys to help her to develop mentally and physically, but she also can be seen playing with CDs and cellphones. On the other hand Ponijao was happy to play with sticks, stones beads and a plastic bottle. I saw Bayar unrolling toilet paper and feeling very happy when he finally got to its base, which he immediately put...

...The Emotions of Us Team B August 5, 2014 University of Phoenix PSY/355 One very popular method for uncovering basic emotions is through facial expressions. From the moment we are born we demonstrate emotion through facial expressions. In babies, it is very important that they are able to demonstrate their feelings through facial expressions. There are many different kinds of emotions that every human being experiences during certain situations. Some emotions would be anger, sadness, fear, happiness, love, surprise, anxiety, amongst many others. Facial expressions make it very simple to be able to notice what kind of emotion the individual is going through. Babies are unable to communicate by speech or bodily gestures when they are born or in their first years of life, therefore it is very important for people to be able to associate the baby’s facial expression to their emotion. When a baby is sad they will make a certain facial expression letting the parents know something is wrong. Same goes if the baby was in pain, hungry, or tired. Because kids and adults are able to speak and communicate both through speech and body language, it might make it seem as if facial expressions were no longer needed to know how someone is feeling, but in research it is still very important. For example, a doctor would be able to tell if his patient is in pain or afraid even if they do not want to let the doctor know something is wrong just by the patient’s facial expression.

...species. In this lab we are to observe many of the physical and chemical properties of copper by cycling copper via several chemical reactions; those reactions being, Oxidation Reduction, Acid-Base and Oxidation-Reduction and Single Displacement Reduction. Lastly, while performing a series of chemical processes, the mass of copper recovered should equal the original mass of copper from the beginning. II. Data (Experimental Observations) Part A: Oxidation Reduction Reaction The weight of the copper starting material was 0.107g. After I weighted the copper, I wrapped the turning into a small ball and place it into a 150 mL beaker. Then, I measured 8 mL of 6 M nitric acid, HNO3, into a 10 ml graduated cylinder. Afterwards, I then slowly added the 6 M HNO3 into the beaker containing the copper. Then, I cover the beaker with a watch glass and observe the reaction. As I was observing the reaction, I noticed that the color of the copper solution went from a clear to a baby blue color. As the copper slowly continued to dissolved taking more than 10 minutes, it was then rapidly dissolved into a dark blue solution. As the copper dissolved, bubbles were being secreted causing the inside of the beaker to form a yellowish gas color due to the chemical reaction between the copper and the 6 M nitric acid. Part B: Acid- Base and Double Displacement Reactions The blue solution from part A was mixed with...

...Halloween makeup, costume and demeanor, they can frighten even the most skeptical adult. We do grow up. We get jobs. We have children of our own. Along the way, we lose our tendencies toward magical thinking. Or at least we think we do. Several streams of research in psychology, neuroscience and philosophy are converging on an uncomfortable truth: We’re more susceptible to magical thinking than we’d like to admit. Consider the quandary facing college students in a clever demonstration of magical thinking. An experimenter hands you several darts and instructs you to throw them at different pictures. Some depict likable objects (for example, a baby), others are neutral (for example, a face-shaped circle). Would your performance differ if you lobbed darts at a baby? It would. Performance plummeted when people threw the darts at the baby. Laura A. King, the psychologist at the University of Missouri who led this investigation, notes that research participants have a “baseless concern that a picture of an object shares an essential relationship with the object itself.” Paul Rozin, a psychology...

...Caryl Mae B. Ducena BSBA (Financial management) June 22, 2015 Reaction Paper ABORTION In my opinion I think abortion is bad. People should not kill a baby just because they don't want them. I realized how evil abortion is and how it is a form of killing. There are other ways to handle this issue without killing the baby, like putting the baby up for adoption, giving it to a close relative, or a loving family that can't have children. Abortion is the worst thing a woman can do against human dignity. It is immoral and it should not be legalized. It is also a threat to the mother's health. A woman can suffer an infection or internal bleeding. No woman has the right to kill a new living being. In my eyes as a teenager I feel that if anyone was to get an abortion is committing a sin. It is immoral and you’re only hurting yourself. The group expresses a video that made me think how someone can go through such pain to get purge of something they started to make inside of them. Seeing how they take it out and all of the baby’s parts and the separation of body parts made me sick to my stomach. I feel in this country as Catholics we should stop and take action that destroys everything we believe in. It’s understandable that you can’t have a baby or don’t want it. But as I see it people should have the baby and give it up for adoption at least the kid can live. The group did a nice job expressing what they thought was wrong about it. They gave enough information...

...Reaction Paper of Ernest Hemingway’s Short Story “Hills Like White Elephants” “Then what will we do afterward?”/ ”We’ll be fine afterward. Just like we were before.”/ “What makes you think so?”/”That’s the only thing that bothers us. It’s the only thing that’s made us unhappy.”/ The girl looked at the bead curtain, put her hand out and took hold of two of the strings of beads.” Notice that the girl called “Jig” questions the man known as the “American”, when he tells her that they will both be fine afterwards. It only means that she believes otherwise, that things won’t be fine, that things will never be like they were before. In fact, it seems as though something inside her had already changed. She realizes she wants to keep the baby. This story centers on a couple’s verbal argument, which is strongly implied by the text and widely believed by many scholars, whether the girl will have an abortion of her partner’s child. Even before this conversation she talks about their lifestyle with a hint of sarcasm and possibly boredom, “I wanted to try this new drink. That’s all we do, isn’t it-look at things and try new drinks?” You see the girl refers to their sightseeing as “things”, which shows a sense of weariness and tediousness with their regular day to day activity of the same “thing.” On the other hand, the man displays his naivety as he tries to calm her fears, saying “That’s the only thing (baby) that bothers us. It’s the only thing (baby) that’s made us unhappy.” It is...

...PSY 431 students: In addition to the instructions about how to do the observation paper that I already posted on iLearn, here I’m also providing a sample of a good paper from a previous class. This is based on a different, and older infant, than the one on youtube that you are observing, but it shows you what your observation paper should look like. Notice how well this student clearly related each infant behavior to some aspect of Piaget’s account of the sensorimotor period: He stated which substage of the sensorimotor period the child probably is in, and tied the notions of assimilation and accommodation to specific infant behaviors. Observation Paper #1 A couple (husband and wife) were sitting on the grass at a music festival with a young male infant, who was probably between 12-18 months old. He sat on his mother's lap with a group of the adult's friends around them. They were sitting together on a blanket with a clearing in the middle for the child to play and move around while they all enjoyed the music and talked to each other. As I was sitting there, I observed the infant's mother hand him a small box of wheat thins which he easily grasped in his hands and held, looking at it for a little while. Then he dropped the box which hit his mother's foot and rustled to the ground. His mother picked the box back up for him and put it back into his hands. He then dropped it again on her foot and it landed again on the ground next to them. According to Piaget the child...

...finally breaking away from her violent, brutal, cruel, vindictive chauvinistic husband Stanley, but not before her sister Blanche becomes a victim of his bestial ways; this differs from the original because in the play despite Stanley having raped Blanche, Stella stays in denial refusing to believe Blanche and stays with him. Both versions have Blanche being taken away by the doctor to an insane asylum, but the dramatic element added to the film enlarges feelings that in the play the characters lacked such as Stella’s struggle with herself, torn between believing Blanche about Stanley or believing in Stanley and continuing living in denial. Stanley’s brutal ripping of Blanche’s paper lantern and therefore tearing up her dream and last hope of living normally was made more dramatic both by Blanche’s crying reaction to it and by his abrupt and violent action. During the struggle in the bedroom where Blanche is trying to get away from both Stanley and the apathetic matron Mitch shows rage and was charging into the room to presumably rescue Blanche but was dragged away by Steve and Pablo before falling into an abysmal depression; this was unseen in the play and shows that Mitch did not become completely cold to Blanche and still cares for her deeply, although because of her background cannot marry her. The scene where the matron has Blanche pinned sobbing to the floor further increases the dark mood that exists throughout the scene until the doctor walks in and soothes Blanche who taking...

...SOC 413- Social Deviance Paper #2 4/25/14 “Uncaring Carts” Deviant acts are done every day in society, so much so that sometimes these same acts that were frowned upon or looked upon as deviant eventually turn the tide, and become the norms of society. With technology getting more and more advanced and hundreds of millions of people are using social networks as a tool to connect with the world, trends are starting more quickly and it’s easier to get a topic or act trending the video and audio moves this day and age. Whether an act is deviant or not does not mean it still won’t go “viral” or trend in today’s society, in fact the phrase “bad news travels the fastest” is more relevant than ever with the ability to access media or social networks has become easier and more advanced with the popular use of “smart phones”. This assignment was actually something a student could get excited about as we can play a role outside of a classroom setting, use our education of this course and apply it to a situation that forces you to be uncomfortable and step outside of your comfort zone. It was one of the more testing yet enjoyable assignments that I have come across this semester at Lincoln University. “Sociologists define deviance as an act or behavior that falls outside social norms; deviance ranges from criminal acts to interrupting someone who’s speaking.” (Inderbitzin) Even though when most people hear that a deviant act was committed, they conclude that it was negative, “positive...

...My paper is about abortion psychologically before, after and during the abortion. The term “abortion” actually refers to any premature expulsion of a human fetus, whether naturally spontaneous, as in a miscarriage, or artificially induced abortion. The definition of abortion for those of you who don’t know, it means you are choosing to end or for a lack of better words terminate a pregnancy is, a woman may have different abortion methods to choose from having an earlier abortion is suggested to be much safer and less complicated as well. Therefore, it is important that a woman who makes her final decision to get an abortion to do so without any unnecessary delays. In fact 88% of all abortions in the .U.S. are obtained within the first 12-13 weeks after the menstrual period. If a child is under the age of 18, the state she’s in may require one or both of your parents to give permission for your abortion or be told of your decision prior to the abortion. However, in most states one can ask a judge to excuse them from these requirements. To terminate a pregnancy there are two types of abortions a woman can choose: one is called the medical abortion (also called non-surgical abortion) it involves taking the drug mifepristone; often called abortion pill. A woman seeking medical abortion can obtain one through a doctors office or clinic and the patient should expect two more visits to complete the process. In 2005 medical abortions made up of 13% of all abortions and 22% of...

...Lifespan Development Paper Developmental psychology is unit or branch of psychology which is concerned with the study of progressive behavioral changes in an individual from birth until death.Developmental psychology seeks to address various aspects of human development, including physical, cognitive, social, moral, and personality development. This paper will focus on the developmental psychology as it relates to infancy. Infancy is the time from birth until the age of one year old. What factors affect physical development? A baby; a precious new life is brought into the world and what an amazing and wonderful first year of life is in store for not only this child but his or her parents as well. During their first year, babies start to develop skills they will use for the rest of their lives. The normal growth of babies can be broken down into the following areas: Gross motor skills such as controlling the head, sitting, crawling and maybe even starting to walk. Fine motor skills like holding a spoon, picking up a piece of cereal between thumb and finger. Sensory skills are learning to use our senses in seeing, hearing, tasting, touching and smelling. Language development skills are starting to make sounds, learning some words, understanding what people say and Social skills is learning the ability to play with family members and other children. Culture has a major influence in regards to a child’s development. If a child is overstimulated or even under stimulated;...

...Classical Conditioning Paper Accidently founded by Ivan Pavlov, classical conditioning is basically learning by association behavior. A better definition would be “A process of behavior modification by which a subject comes to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly presented along with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits the desired response” (Farlex, 2011). This paper will describe the theory of classical conditioning and demonstrate how one would apply the classical conditioning in everyday life. Theory of Classical Conditioning Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, was performing research on the digestive system of a dog by using the data from the dog’s salivation when in the middle of these tests he by accident noticed that certain behaviors can be conditioned (Alloy, Riskind, & Manos, 2005). First, one must understand that behaviorism in psychology is based on the belief that learning happens through relations with the environment (Cherry, 2011). Pavlov found that several of the reactions were occurring due to prior learning. He obtained this important information by noting that the dogs would salivate even before they were offered the meat. Pavlov concluded that the dogs were conditioned and learned from the entrance of the lab assistant, who was generally the person who brought in the meat. He expanded his experiment further by introducing a bright light or a loud sound to see if the dogs would salivate when seeing them...
