I think of these places because the sunset reminds me of the beach and the beach reminds me of these places. A sunset calms me and makes me feel relaxed.

Aristole believed that knowledge grows from experience stored in our memories.
Descartes agreed with Socrates and Plato and thought the fluid in the brain's cavity contained "animal spirits" which flowed through nerves and into muscle.
Bacon believed that based on the way human's think and our nature, we believe things are more organized and more equal than what they really are.
Locke believed "blank state" is the mind at birth and our experiences write our mind.
Empiricism - view that knowledge originates in experience and that science should, therefore, rely on observation and experimentation.
Structuralism - used introspection to reveal the structure of the human mind.
Behaviorists - studies behavior without reference to mental processes.
Psychology - science of behavior and mental processes]]> 2016-09-07 15:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/122143547 reesegor7625 https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/122143723 Descriptive statistics - organize data meaningfully
Histogram - bar graph depicting a frequency distribution
Mode - most frequently occurring scores
Mean - adding scores then dividing by number of scores (average)
Median - middle score in a distribution
Standard deviation - way to measure how much scores vary around the mean score

Subjects should not be exposed to harmful or dangerous research procedures.
If an investigation requires some deception of subjects, the researcher is required to explain and correct any misunderstanding as soon as possible.
Subject's rights to privacy should never be violated (confidentiality)
Harmful or painful procedures imposed upon animals must be thoroughly justified in terms of the knowledge to be gained from the study. Furthermore, laboratory animals are entitled to decent living conditions.]]> 2016-09-07 15:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/122144951 reesegor7625 https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/123636241 Scatterplots - a graphed cluster of dots
Correlation coefficient - a statistical index of the relationship between two variables
Correlation - a measure of the extent to which two variables change together, and thus of how well either variable predicts the other
Experiment - a research method in which an investigator manipulates one or more factors to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process ]]> 2016-09-14 00:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/123636241 reesegor7625 https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/123637402 Behavioral - external stimuli trigger angry responses or aggressive acts.
Biological - the scientific study of the links between biological and psychological processes
Cognitive - how our interpretation of a situation affects our anger and how our anger affects our thinking
Evolutionary - how anger facilitated in our ancestors genes.
Psychodynamic - view an outburst as an outlet for unconscious hostility
Social-cultural - how expressions of anger vary across cultural contexts.]]> 2016-09-14 00:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/reesegor7625/up05ixjdxhg0/wish/123637402
