CH 1 PT 3

5 principles of behaviorism (we can't observe dreams, feelings, processes)
1) behavior is observable
2)  behavior is quantifiable. It's can be controlled by a regulating experience ( IV, DV)--Aristotle, Ebbinghaus, Thorndike
3) there is an evolutionary Perspective -- Darwin
4)Focus on quantitative--Decarte
5) Focus on the law of effect, behavior is not shaped by subconscious but by past experience; we repeat things that give rewarda nd avoid punishments.  -- thorndike

Key figures: John Watson (baby ),  B.F Skinner (America)
they believed that everything had to be observable.

New behavorism. EDward Tolman L argued you miss things when you only focus on whats observatible



cognitive approach key figures:
gorden bower (1932) insight: the moment when you suddenly realize something.. that AHA! moment,
George miller (1920-2012) - realized that didget span limits represent an overload of a memory system wiht a cap of 7 +- 2 items unless we rehearse things.

Dreams: Writing

Listening to songs on YouTube I stumbled on a video where a some guys's played in their school's talent show.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD9Tx2XTgnM) << link
They were good. After listening I opened the description bar, not expecting much but... I got attracted to the way Mark (they guy who posted the video) wrote.
 
        'None of us by any means think that this is amazing. We put this together with 2 band practices in a matter         of 2 or 3 weeks. I am fully aware that the drumming doesn't sound like Ulrich and isn't all that great. If you           would like to tell me that I suck like the 100 other people that have, I guess that's what comment boxes are         for. Regardless, we all did a decent job. And seriously, it's a high school talent show, not a Metallica cover           band. HATERS GON' HATE. It's funny to us when you say the drummer sucks; also, it's exceptionally                 funny when you tell us that your band is better, that he's playing everything wrong, and REALLY funny when         you post a drum cover of this song as a video reply and it sounds like you're hitting pots and pans with a            broken broomstick handle. 7 year old spelling and lots of swears is the icing on the cake. With that said,            troll away!

       Also, the whole cargo shorts thing wasn't planned, and we all realize now how goony it looks' 

There was an easy flow when I read this. I was think to myself "how can I write like this?"  
I do also realize that I don't know how to write/say things without sounding confusing.
 I think it's because I don't know how to sort my thoughts. My English teacher has told me to make a 'road map' before writing, but when I try to do that I don't get anywhere. 
I usually just write~~ which is something I learned from Bill, my summer school writing teacher last year. 
After that summer I think I write with some confidence to keep writing. (yay~)
I have't read much book's as I did in Elementary school and the beginning of Middle school... that might have dropped my vocabulary? o.o I don't know what I'm taking about anymore.. Ok! Thats it thanks for reading (:

 

I want to make blogging friends!

Hello! My name is JOY :D
and I recently wanted to start writing more. If you can't tell... my grammar sucks. Also I've had my essay shown in my English class on how badly it was written. I know, embarrassing right? Well it open my eyes that I'm not very good at writing. Actually I'm not good at using words in general. BUT I want to change that, and I've heard wring more and more helps.
I like reading some blogs time to time and I gained some courage to start wring blogs~! *yay*
Knowing that maybe at least one person will read this I'm asking you: please help me! I want to make some Blogging friends to help me with writing and make some new friends. >///< 
And so... yup! Thanks for reading and please wait for some blogs to be uploaded~

-Joy

P.S You and Me lets be friends~!!

My dreams

I dream for dreams, inception-like. I dream of traveling, seeing beautiful sights, meeting people and living in different culture. I dream of cooking. Growing more creative, trying different techniques, and sharing flavors.
I dream of growing. Growing more mature into a woman. Growing full of knowledge, care and , understanding. To grow good fruit. Become bold and, persistent. I dream of  truth being told. I dream of my eyes to be opened. I dream to trust in people. I dream to take my mask out and show my true face. I dream to not fear. I dream to carry out these dream and to put action into my words. I dream to stop my laziness. I dream to be true to myself and others. I dream to explore. I dream to change. I dream for right paths. I dream for freedom. I dream for words. I dream for things that are unseen to be seen.
