Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this “Discovering Psychology: Past, Present, and Promise” worksheet I worked on. It was a wild ride, let me tell you!
First, I grabbed the worksheet. It started all simple, asking what psychology actually is. And it’s like, the study of behavior and the mind, you know? Easy peasy. I jotted that down, feeling pretty smart.
Then, things got a bit trickier. It asked about what psychologists do with their research. According to what I gathered from online resources, they use it to figure out behavior and sometimes even change it. I scribbled that down, hoping I got it right.
Diving Deeper
Next, I came across this question about a neuroscientist named Elizabeth Phelps. Apparently, she took some data from a guy named Banaji and compared it to what’s going on in the amygdala – that’s the part of our brain that deals with emotions. I thought, “Wow, that’s deep!” and made a note of it.
- Psychologists study behavior and the mind.
- They use research to understand and sometimes change behavior.
- Neuroscientists like Elizabeth Phelps look at how the brain works, especially the amygdala.
The worksheet also asked if psychologists study all kinds of living things, not just humans. I mean, the answer was true, and I marked that down. Who knew they were so into different creatures?
Finally, it mentioned something about a narrator in a video called “Past, Present, and Promise.” I didn’t get to watch the video, so I just left that part blank. Maybe I’ll check it out later.
So, yeah, that’s my adventure with this psychology worksheet. It was a mix of easy stuff and some brain-bending questions. But hey, I learned a few things along the way, and that’s what counts, right?
