For Texas- S.L. Partner
Note: two solutions to the problem
Sub-note: Either animal behavior could be studied independently of psychology OR psychology could be changed to the study of behavior.
Note: in Watson's opinion, again
Sub-note: he believed that introspection was teh problem. he also thought that is psychology continued using introspection, future psychologiest would still disagree over the conscious mind's elements.
Note: Unsuccessfull Karl Lashley
Sub-note: Watson worked for a few years with Karl Lashley. They were studing thought as a faint contactions in the speech musculature (Subvocal speech)
Sub-note: Watson also agured that "feelings" were based on sensations arising from the reproductive organs and erogenous zones.
Sub-note: His discussion of sex was ahead of its time.
Title: Watson at Phipps Psychiatric Clinic
Note: limited space
Sub-note: he had limited lab spaec after the arts and sciences moved to a new campus. Adolf Meyer offered Watson lab space at the Clinic and Watson eagerly accpeted it.
Note: December 1918
Sub-note: Watson was back at Phipps Clinic, he had to leave because he was "called to active duty" in 1917
Sub-note: before teh war he published an article that talked about 3 basic emotions in infants - fear, rage, and love- the conditioning little albert began
Title: Fear Conditioning in Little Albert
Note: 9 months
Sub-note: at this age Little Albert was only afriad of a suddenly produced loud noise.
Note: 11 months
Sub-note: this is when Watson and Rosalie Rayner started the conditioning of Little Albert
Sub-note: day one, he reached for the white rat, and steel was struk with a hammer behind Little Albert, he started crying. he went home for a week.
Sub-note: the next test, Little Albert was presented with the rat 5 times, and the steel was struk.
Sub-note: 5 days later Albert was tested again to see if he was afraid of the rat, he was. he was also afraid of other white or furry objects.
Sub-note: another 5 days later, Albert came back, and was still afraid of the rat, but only had a slight reaction to other objects. a dog was presented to him, and he only had a little reaction, until the dog unexpectly backed. Ablbert cryed until the dog was removed.
Sub-note: they tested him a month after that with just the objects. they found out that the fear of the objects was still their just not a intense, so they didnt try to removed the conditioned emotional response.
Note: the 1924 confusion
Sub-note: Mary Cover JOnes was a friend of Rosalie Rayner, (by this time Watsons wife) so watson advise Jones while she worked on a prject to cure Peter.
Sub-note: Peter was a 3 yr old boy, who was afraid fo rabbits and rats.
Sub-note: Jones wanted Peter to not fear such animals. she used "Modeling Therapy" which failed.
Sub-note: Then she sat Peter in a highchair gave him a preferred food, while moving a rabbit closer to him as he ate for teh next sereral days.
Sub-note: by the end, peter showed foundness for the rabbit, and the fear of the rat and other objects were entirely absent.
Sub-note: later Jones reported that she had tried removing fears with a veriaty of different methods concluding that one direct conditioning and social imitation (which failed the first time) worked consistently.
Title: From Behaviorism to Advertising
Note: basically black listed...
Sub-note: after he got involved with a Hopkins student (Rayner), and his very public divorce, he was dismissed. since the newpaper covered the story, no University wanted to risk hiring Watson. so naturally he went to advertising.
Note: History of consumer psychology
http://free-books-online.org/psychology/introduction-to-psychology/consumer-psychology/
Sub-note:j b. watson was the first ever-prominent psychologist to apply principles of psychology in the field of advertising.
watson believed that psychology could not be recognized as a scientific discipline until its practical utility is proved by its application and demonstration in real life situations.
According to watson “If psychology would follow the plan i suggest, the educator, the physician, the jurist, and the businessman could utilize our data in a practical way.”
he himself designed ads for johnson and johnson’s baby powder. in that ad, he not only targeted the emotions and anxieties of mothers, but also used the experts’ recommendations and the impact of using the product.
Sub-note: He also did an ad for Pebeco tooth paste. I couldnt find his exact add, but i found one similar. he add was of a woman smoking. ahowing that smoking made her more sexy, but if she didnt brush her teeth with Pebeco, she lost her sex appeal.
the one i found looks like this lady's boss is asking her to dinner, but it wouldnt have happened if she had stinky breath.
Title: Waton's Learning Theory and the Decline of the Instinct Concept in Psychology
Note: Zing Yang Kuo
Sub-note: he opposed the instinct concept, arguing that "the term instinct was a cloak for ignorance of the subtle behavioral changes that accompany maturation"
Sub-note: he "proved this by raising kittens. if the kittens were raised with thier mothers, they were killing rats before the age of 4 months. but if kittens were raised in cages with rats, they never killed the rats. he concluded "kittens can be made to kill, love, hate, fear, or play with a rat: it depends on the life history of the kitten"
Note: Karl von Frisch
Sub-note: he is best known for his studies of communication by "dances" in honeybees.
Title: In Conclusion
Note: Thorndike is the man! :)
Sub-note: behaviorism began with the work of Pavlov and Watson after Thorndike's animal research. also with Thorndike's work in education and Watson's career in advertising illustrated behaviorism could be applied outside the lab to affect people's lives.
Title: FIN
Note: NO QUESTIONS!! (j/k)
That is the rest of the notes for the slides. sorry about the way you need to receive them.. no email at work, but i can get to my blog.. haha.
Anyways, titles are the titles, Notes would be the main bullet points, and Sub-notes would be the part that isnt seen like my other slides (in the notes of the slides so i can print them out, like the other slides).
SORRY about the spelling errors, work only has IE with the basic progaming which means no spell check...

the new me?
nothing about me has changed. so why was cutting my hair such a big deal? why do a lot of people say that "you can start over" "you are a new person" when really youre not? i guess i like it, but i'm still not sure. anyway, it is cut now, and there isnt anything that can be done about it.
as i said nothing else has really changed, so how can this be the new me?
I'm getting use to my glasses now, which still kind of sucks, and i still have 4 more weeks and three days until my eye appt. i only know i'm use to them now, because my ears dont hurt all day anymore. my ears do start to hurt near the end of the day still, from wearing my glasses all day...
maybe after the summer i can start to be the "new me" that should come with cutting hair.
in the last few days ive been watching movies.. something i havent done for a LONG time.
The movies that i watched this past week were:
Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
Rango
The Dilemma
The Last Airbender
Never Let Me Go
The Social Network
And i'm currently watching Change of Plans
I'm not sure if movie titles are suppose to be italicize or not... oh well.
other movies i want to see this week are Beastly and Red Riding Hood only because i want to see how bad they converted the cartoon movies of Beauty and the best in to "live-action" and i've been told red Riding Hood sucks, but want to see it anyway for some reason...
yesterday Supa Wife took me to work. She showed up at 12ish to my house because she wanted to go to BJ's for lunch before she dropped me off at work. we were there for about an hour and a half., cuz i didnt have to be to work till 3.
we ended up getting to work early, so we stayed in her car for about 30 minutes. as she was driving in and up the strip to our work, we saw a GOOGLE CAR!! her husband texted her about an hour later and he saw one too!
At work yesterday, there was this Cute boy that dropped his toy behind my desk. as he came over to pick it up he said "excuse me ma'am" i thought it was the cutest thing, he must have been about 4.
then this conversation happened:
Boy- what are you doing?
Me-- my job.
Boy- ooh. what kind of job
Me-- i check people in at this computer.
Boy- ooh. do you have any kids?
Me-- oh No.
Boy- why not? Did the die???
Me-- what *laughing!*
Boy- did they?
Boys Mother -- (NAME!) You CanNot Ask That Question!!
Boy- ooohh. Sorry ma'am
Me-- Its okay, it made me day.
after she was done with her taxes, she came up to me and apologized for what her child had said, she also said that as soon as he asked she was mortified that he even posed the question.
i told her it was fine, and that it was by far one of the funnier things that a child had asked me.
now I'm off to do a test, and finish up my essays.

burts bees i love you so.
sweet dreams.
update....s?
Barry Manilow is still a surreal thing for me... but when i randomly think about "it is actually happening" i get really happy. :) YAY!
My grandparents are going to Mexico on Monday to try an unconventional doctor to help out with my grandpa's cancer. a friend of my grandpas has been going to this doctor for the past ten years to get an unconventional treatment for his [the friend] incurable cancer. when the friend was told that he had cancer, our doctors (in the US) told him he had 6-12 months to live....
My grandpa with Chemo has a 0% curing the cancer/living for more then a year... So they are NOT doing chemo and going to the unconventional doctor... Why in Mexico?? Because after he got his doctor degree here and started doing what he was doing our government told him to "shut the front door" or get out; he left. hopefully it helps.
WhiteMM is done with the drive, and is now moved into (NoName)s house... eehh.
spring break next week.. I'm not sure if i'm excited out not...... I think i'm going to go with not at this point. it might change, but i doubt it.
And last I'm totally going into debt to get this car when it comes out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nYhKD8leAg (not linked)
Why you may asked?? Because its BAD ASS!@@!#@!%%&%$*%@@~!%%*^ That way i'd never actually NEED to learn how to drive (which just in case youre wondering BluestEyes, still havent gotten annnyyy ffuuurrtttherr on. :) haha) i would just need to know the basics... but it wont be out for at least 10+ years, defeating the point of not needing to learn between now and then..... so it is still on my list of "need to do" just not at the top.

happy thing today:
my mom turned in an application to Lackland base eye center. this app was the first step to a long process to see if i can be approved for lasik. yay. a lady called me this morning as i was waking up to get ready for work, to ask and make sure some answers were the same as the paper. i was told that i couldnt wear my contacts for a MONTH and got an appt for april 11th at 7 am for a 3.5hr long eye appt so they can run a bunch of tests and dielate(sp) my eyes. after that i will find out if i have passed the second step to the lasik process.
this meant my mom and i had to go to eyemasters and change my lenses today and not this coming weekend. insurance cover the frames and lenses (my old frames were to worped(sp) to work with (cuz they are plastic) so my new ones are the exact same color and brand) didnt pay anything. awesome! i like being able to still be on my dads coverage. (the lasik is free as well)

Wednesday, March 2, 2011
WICKED!
This is my year! :)
on a whim my mom bought Wicked! tickets, so i saw it again!! aaaahhhh!
at the end they asked for a moment of our time and told us about this organization that is helping and researching drugs for people with HIV and AIDS... they were asking for everyone to give just 2$ (which would raise 4490 for just that night). if you donated 75 you got a backstage tour with the people that played Nessarose and Fiyero of that night, 50 got you a poster with everyones signature, and 20 got you a reuseable bag.
my mom and i have a weird exchange of money right now, so she just added what i owe her already with the 50 and got me the poster.
woooo-hooo.. although it isnt Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda) or Idina Menzel (Elphaba). >:P damn your (NoName)!
