The early experiments on people that we learned about didn't really surprise me as much as they just made me upset. The first Psychologists thought some of those weird ideas would actually help their theories. But I guess you have to try all of those weird things at some point, just so you can forget about them. I didn't know there was any difference between Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatrists before this class began, nor did I know the technical terms for a lot of things. At first I thought this class would be a lot of tests on people. But I was wrong we watch movies and learn about cool problems! I also was glad to understand the connections between it and Biology and Philosophy. I hadn't known the great difference between Psychology and Philosophy until this quarter as we learned about it in this class. I also think, however, that this will be a good experience for me because I don't really associate depression and other things that are common
The most difficult thing for me to understand is where all of the different parts are in the brain and how they all interact together. I'm really bad with remebering body parts and where they go. Let alone the brain and how it works. I think it's really cool how it actually does work. Its really cool how the human race has been able to figure all of that out by trial and error and guesswork. Its amazing that we can figure out pretty much anything. I really enjoyed learning about the association between different psychological disorders and the area of the brain it affected, and all the scientific things that were happening within it (all the biology stuff). I really enjoy learning about OCD because I had it before. I hope we learn more about it. If I get upset in class though just ignore me because I sometimes get like that when I talk about it. I also have ADD and I hope we learn more about that because I want to know more the backround on it and how you get it. My m
