Build your Brain!


https://youtu.be/LpqTJ22UFuE



   Alright guys, so I decided to do the Build your Brain activity.  So obviously I needed someone under 10 and I had two options and two options only. My nephew Matias or my soon to be brother in law Jonah. Well if you saw the video I chose Jonah because my nephew is six and probably would have destroyed everything before we could start...LOL. So as we started I was still learning myself.  I picked up the information and began to try to teach it to Jonah; I believed he picked it up faster than I did. The further into the project we went, we were able to pick out individual sections of the brain and learned a few of their function functions. I even learned a few things from him. We didn't go into every little section or piece of the brain but as I was looking for models to base the project off of I learned about some of the parts that we didn't include in our model. For example, did you know that we have twelve cranial nerves that all have their own specific functions? The project in its entirety wasn't extremely complicated but it helped my improve my understanding of the brain while teaching another person. Overall I actually had a lot of fun; I would enjoy doing more projects like this in the future.

    Wow, you guys did a great job. I chose the same section to do with my 5 year old and was completely blown away at how much they retain in such a short time. The age difference in the kids we did it with definitely shows. Jonah is very intelligent and knows what he's talking about. Great job guys!

    Hey Austin! I think this is wonderful and I really like how you chose this task. It was the one I wanted to do but I couldn't find anyone under ten. Anyways I don't have a lot to suggest as I believe you demonstrated this perfectly. Thank you!

Learning/ Classical Conditioning Alright, so this week in my psychology class were learning about well "Learning". but the tricky thing is the learning we were talking about is not the kind that happens in any ordinary classroom. We learned how a psychologist would define learning. This learning is not taught by an individual but by everyday events that influence our future behavior. This learning happens when we notice them around us and relate them to others or relate a certain action to a consequence. Through this process of learning we become conditioned to react the same way. Its funny humans are not the only ones who have the capacity to learn and be conditioned. In the early 1900's, a Russian psychologist by the name of Ivan Pavlov made an accident discovery during an experiment where he was working with dogs. In this experiment Pavlov and his assistant had a few dogs harnessed up and they would then bring these dogs food. The intended experiment was to bring t...

#PsychStory Alright, so this story is not my own but of someone extremely close to me. This particular story of love and persistence is about Allie Borcik. If you don't already see the connection by name alone, this is my sister. Because this is a personal story I won't go into too much detail. Shortly after her 19th birthday, Allie gave birth to my first nephew, Matias. It was rough but if anyone could do it was her.  At the time, her and Matias's father were together but after showing a constant neglect towards Allie and a lack of motivation to do what a father should do they decided to separate. Discouraged by the fact she was now a single mother, she turned to family for help. Nevertheless, she continued to press on, to work hard, and to be the best mother she could be. Over the next five years, she spent time at some different kinds of jobs and had a few major relationships that didn't quite work out. She was confused about how to go about life as a single moth...

So doing this poster from class was actually kinda fun. It may not have been the best looking but "Hey, I tried and thats what matters right"? Looking at the different aspects of my life, I have seen some similarities in my life and some things I would like to change. Through my life I have been born, raised, and plan on staying in Abilene for the majority of my life. I have been and athlete since the beginning, I have learned how to compete, come out on top and to make friends in the process. I feel this will help me in my future as a nurse. My life has been centered around God, Family , and faith and I plan to keep this the same throughout. With God and the help of my family I have been consistently happy and I have been blessed with everything I need. Personally and emotionally there have been ups and down but I know with faith and persistence life with be with the hardships.                               ...
