Visual Power Point Presentations #20-#26
Disagreement of an Extraction of a Our Personally Chosen Concept
Lacking Depth and Significance in a Great Time and Efforts
I grasped overall that all the material was based on things like learning and specifically on how memory works overall biologically but on lose terms, an overarching series of lessons branching off from such an idea. I disagree with the nature of this concept being significant to this extent of interest. It seems as though it is all saying that we learn and how much we have to apply our critical thinking to recall memories. I will discuss influences from the modules, but my main idea I'm getting at is how I noticed that it should be more about religion in that it means having exchanges that are either good or bad in ways that are significant to life, not a topic of psychology to discuss over all these examples; it isn't a scientific application in the end, and there's no experimental question/topic of something important to solve. Simply put, it is too fancy but not especially well-organized, making it a challenge for the viewer to keep up more than necessary or seemingly significant, maybe for people who aren't interested in psychology or who don't have to take it as a major.
It seems like it's a shying away from discussing hypnosis. They keep talking about how we learn automatically and how things come as second nature, "like breathing out and breathing in." They even seem scared to discuss it, and it's scattered all throughout the material, all "hokey pokey" but maybe in an interesting magazine sentiment for some. This is probably a layer above instinct, like animals knowing so well somehow to have sex and then care for the resulting babies, like turtles walking to the water for the first time. They also emphasize youth. Don't pretend we all didn't see that, the picture of the little baby from Europe or Russia being surrounded by adults crying. I noticed they presented this showing that people in Europe are more emotional and that people seek out to be emotional, though the US isn't in Europe. I saw the picture of the American baby with the 2 ladies, and the boy didn't look as affected and the women looked cold emotionally to the baby. They also didn't look as healthy, though they were skinnier at that time. They showed that children just copy adults, to show they are innocent, but they didn't talk about that. They just reiterated the fact that the children copied the adults, like we are to draw our own conclusions about that in between the lines as we read along. Most of this session dealt with animals, the next step, from adult to baby to animal. They did something basic about eating as the way to interact with animals, like food means something "extrinsic." They controlled the animals by feeding them after they do what they want, sometimes for study and sometimes for work but always fun. They went further too here with the animals and made it more complicated to get the food. This goes into another topic of Operant Conditioning.
Humans must be a patchwork quilt or hulk of Operant Conditioning and less instinct. One topic that was discussed was discrimination. People can't seem to focus on that, but it's anti-hypnotic; it seems the material hinted at racism because that word can mean that, typical of Americans to think something like that, some "what if" moment. A lot of anti-development has been taking place racially with all the insecure white racism of people who couldn't contain themselves about their jealousy of people like who live in Europe and are also racially European. Sort of the opposite of a success, they seem to just keep going doing educational science experiments with animals like a little magic trick to show preschoolers or small children, like instead of doing different things they keep repeating the same kinds of experiments. It seems there's not much people want to do with animals other than raise them for a dog show, possibly, which sounds like an incentive to own a dog.
They speak of "punishment," which can be translated as a way of doing evil conditioning, to animals or people. They even think jail is a type of conditioning.
You might want to bring up race when you talk about things like "discrimination" and "punishment" at an advanced level. Most people are mixed, and most countries seem to be mixed race. The US seems to be excessively Italian, hence they want to mark if someone is Latino or not, though they may be the same race.
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Conditioning are an important concept they did not have much to teach about with all they said. It happens emotionally, socially, and in important social interactions/meetings if you believe that.
It also talks about intensity, like pain and helping. This is also something smart to talk about that they might discuss in an honors or Ivy League class.
How long memories last sounds sentimental, but they didn't state this opinion, makes me wonder what they're doing, maybe too high order thinking to discuss. That's just some of the nature of my disagreement of these sections.
A lot could be said of mnemonics, which is like the popularity of emojis and emoticons. Then, it goes into deep meaning, like "sex" of ideas. It is the joining of something popular, like emojis, with higher order thinking.
Explicit and implicit memories were a little confusing, like it meant facts or procedures. Explicit is simple, and implicit is more cognition.
Memories can trigger certain feelings. It gives meaning and helps us and signals more in our brains overall. Again, the material doesn't say much about it psychologically but expects us to remember the little animal experiments.
The slides tried to say we remember for school but didn't talk about how to memorize lectures and accomplish hunks of reading in shorter periods of time, in classes outside of our major interest, be it music or something else.
Things like brain damage are natural excuses that exist in life. Drinking, lack of sleep, and some injuries.
"Passwords" is interesting, like a symbol that only you or a few know, too, like a social situation when you and a friend are on a rapport over others, which I've seen happen in a discriminatory way and sneaky and dishonest too, like a lazy trap as the result of an expected continuing friendship, which sets you off wondering how it is possible to get away with that and which leaves you open to get in more trouble somehow. Who matters, anyway? This is a basic psychology issue or religious question. Yet, people are complacent to it and on the evil side.
"Implanted memories" and "abuse" are similar or different in that it is a sign of some outside factor that you read into.
So, basically, there's all this social drama and things like animals and how people look and think and race and such. However, it's mostly finding filler information no one will remember. Apparently, if it were important and not complacent you would already have this in your mind.
Well, I took a look at Revelation again. Chapter 15, verse 1 says, "Then I saw in the sky another mysterious sight, great and amazing. There were seven angels with seven plagues..." It seems this book and the slides are complaining like this. Then it says it was the last, and it makes me wonder if people will ever be able to get anything done in the way they are, like it's the Tower of Babel.
