Paula is apart of the target student group in her class. She does lack the cognitive capabilities as her peers in the higher cognitive functioning groups.Though Paula does show eagerness to perform as well as her other peers, there are many things, including her low cognitive ability, that keeps her from catching onto the information he is taught. During the initial pre-test, Paula, scored with a 33.34%,one of the two lowest scores in the class. Like her peers, Paula was not able to finish the test, and the test fairly measured the information that she was able to answer before getting highly frustrated with the pre-test like her peers. Paula was able to correctly identify the questions that asked about the needs of a plant. Paula was

1. Neurons is a basic building block of the nervous system. The sensory nerves carry the message from body tissues to the brain and spinal chord to be processed. The motor neurons are then used to send instructions to the body tissue from the brain and spinal cord. Dendrites, which are connected to the body cell (soma) receive information and pass it through the axon. Myelin sheath covers the axon and helps speed the process. When triggered by a signals from our senses or other neurons, the neuron fires an impulse called the action potential. The resting potential is the neuron’s visual charge of positive

Over the semester, I have learned about many new and interesting topics in Psych 101. The one that stood out to me the most was attachment and the study that Harry Harlow performed with the baby monkeys. The study was very sad, but interesting. Attachment is formed as children (or monkeys in this case) create relationships, interact with each other, and understand/manage their feelings. A few questions researchers have been eager to answer are: how do parents and children form bonds?

A sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. Feelings of severe despondency and dejection. Panic Disorder. Anxiety. Depression. These mental illnesses affect millions around the world. They can trigger physical illnesses, hallucinations, and even death. Nevertheless across the globe, there is yet to be recognition for how serious these mental illnesses are. Within Australia, one in five citizens will experience some form of a mental illness during their lifetime. That means that there are people in this room that have or will experience one of the diseases. However, it’s likely they won’t be recognised as physically being ill.

According to Piaget, “Assimilation which occurs when new experiences are readily incorporated into a child’s existing theories” (172). For example, this means that a child knows when the family dog barks and licks his face. When the child has the same experience at another house it makes sense because they child has already learned that theory of the dog.

There are two types of twins. One type of twins, called identical twins, is exact clones of each other. They share the same DNA and were made from a single split egg. More research as been done regarding these types of twins as they are the more remarkable kind. Since they are a genetic match, nature plays the

A central concept in Piaget’s theory is that of the schema. It is defined as an internalized representation of the world or an ingrained and systematic pattern or thoughts, action, and problem solving. Our schemata are developed through social learning or direct learning. Both processes involve assimilation, which is
