It is amazing how quickly a week can go by when you have a million responsibilities for home coming. I have had no time to post lately and for that I am sorry. I'm going to get back into the flow of things this week.
AP Psych
Today we talked about ways in which people have difficult times thinking logically and analyzed some survey data that we gathered from the student body of SC. Students also learned about how important language can be in the way we approach a problem. This is called framing-best example is when you tell yourself that this test/project/experience is going to be terrible and because of this mindset it is. We are currently working on experiments to demonstrate this principle in SC.
Upcoming Assignments: Vocab chp 7 quiz Thursday 11, 3. Major extra credit opportunity due in a week and a half-create a psych themed board game for review purposes, must cover chps 1-7.
Honors
Today students continued to work on their understandings of classical conditioning by working through more examples of the process and taking part in a classical conditioning exercise. Half the class is now classically conditioned to have their hearts speed up when I clap my hands. We will test again tomorrow but the majority of the class had a significant increase to the number of beats per minute as a result of this process.
Upcoming Assignments: Vocab chp 4 quiz tomorrow
