AP Students

 I have just finished the AP psych course and I would have to say that I have to say that we covered a lot of content within the one semester I was in this class. My advice for anyone who is taking this class next year would to be attentive in class and take notes while Ms. Halfen teaches the class it will help a ton on the quiz. As well as doing the vocab several days ahead of the due date will give you a big advantage due to how long it can take. My favorite project was when we learned about the brain and used candy. For the future class I wish there was more of a notes option and somewhat a guide of what to know the most. The class is great and is fun experience.

Memory Test

 Hello everyone my results for the memory test were not amazing. The first test I took was to test your memory on everyday objects. This test I failed extremely hard and did not pass at all. I as well took the face memory test and got a 6/10 on that test which I think is pretty good considering the last test. As well as taking the short term test getting a 9/12 which is ok to me. I do not thinks these test are 100 percent accurate since I myself think I have pretty good memory but these sites say other wise.  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/health/memory-forgetting-psychology.html  Here is a pretty interesting article on research talking about if we are able to enhance our memory skills  

Social life

Compliance: Compliance is a social psychology concept that refers to changing one's behavior due to the request or direction of another person or group. In this image, we see a teacher asking a student to quiet down and pay attention during class. The student complies with the teacher's request by sitting up straight and appearing more engaged in the lesson. Obedience: Obedience is a social psychology concept that refers to changing one's behavior in response to a direct order from an authority figure. In this image, we see a group of students participating in a fire drill.

 https://listverse.com/2017/01/21/10-facts-about-your-sense-of-touch-that-will-really-surprise-you this article talks about our sense of touch. Our sense of touch is one of the most strangest senses we have and most interesting. Our brain registers certain parts of our body as more sensitive then others. As well as when you age your sense of touch or how aware you are for your feeling decreases. Touching others or physical touch intended in sport games shows higher rate of winning then without it. It is also shown how women's sense of touch is better then a mans. This is due from women usually having smaller hands meaning that they are more sensitive then larger hands. Adults usually have the same number of receptors of touch meaning people with smaller hands are better at touch reliant occupations.

 My birthday is May 14th so my hero has the reticular formation ( conscious ) and the norepinephrine ( the fight or flight ). He seeks terrorizing the city and wakes people up with wanting to fight others and cause terror.  He was born with these powers and had no intention of using them for harm. All he did was keep his powers to himself and never used them for his advantage or even for evil. He always wanted to fit in and nothing more or nothing less. But one day he had a chain of bad luck. He got robbed and they took everything from him and he felt alone.He had enough of not using his powers and being a good guy. He tried his powers on people and liked messing with others since he was messed with. That was his logic it was okay he got to do it since he got messed with. So he tested his limits and see what he could do with his powers. He got his way making people unconscious when he wanted and was able to make people angry or make people go psycho. So he went into the most p...
