Artical 2

I thought this artical was interesting because to think that people somehow remember something that they witness first hand better than something that happens to them. How reliable do you think our memory actually is? What makes eye- witness memory more memoriable than people's memories of own past intentions? What do you think is triggered in the brain when you eye- witness something that isn't triggered in the brain when your own memories are being formed? I thought it was interesting that only one out of every five participants gave a consistent reason or reasons at both time points. I also thought it was interesting the way they conducted their study. In their study they took 600 undergrads and had them answer open ended questioins based on why they'd buy, download, or copied their most recently acquired album. I also thought it was interesting that in the study, 6 months to a year later they provied the same information again to those same 600 undergrads. After answering those sets of questions the students fell into 5 main categories whether they liked the artist, they liked the music, liked a specific song or songs, whether someone recommended the album, or whether they needed the album for a specific purpose.

Artical 1

I think that the study was interesting because they showed a man who had suffered from a stammer his whole life and shortly after suffering from a stroke was the stammer cured. What was it that caused the stroke to cure his stammer? Will his stammer ever come back? Why has the stammer remained absent? I found it interesting that by having a stroke and the damaged it caused reversed his stammer. The previous research stated that people who stammer have exaggerated activation in the cerebellum. The research also showed that simply by slowing down the man speech somehow aided his stammer. The researchers concluded that the cerebellum and or its connections with the brain structures has an important role in maintaining developmental stammering.

Inside the Teenage Brain

Why was he so oppositional? Why did he think it was cool to be mean to his parents? Why did he keep trying to challenge his dad? Why would he constantly talk back even though he could see how much it upset his mom? It took his parents several tries to get him up out of bed. He's a completely different kid outside of the house. Charlie thinks that no one understands him. Teenagers don't think about what they are saying. Teenagers aren't a kid but they are still not a kid either. Charlie is very smart with his parents. teenagers don't like to be under their paremts rules so tenton rises.

Wild Child

What led the father to do that to her? Will she ever become a normal child and funtion as a normal child? Was she mentally chanllenged from birth or did this ordeal make her disabled? Are Victor and Genie both the same because they were mentally challenged from birth? It is an interesting counicdence that Genie was discovered a week before the movie about Victor premired. They tried to put to rest the debate on whether or not they could teach a child how to speak after a certain age. What happened to her brother? Who takes care of her now? Why didn't the stat of federal goverment step in with funding to make a custity decicion? Where is she now and has she overcome any of her disabilities?
