Chimps beat humans in memory test

Restatement summary

Chimpanzees have an extraordinary photographic memory that is far superior to human.

First of all, chimps outperformed university students in menory test devised by Japanese scientists. Furthermore, chimpanzees at the age of five have a better performance in a memory task than humans. Researchers believe that young chimps have a photographic memory. This menmory allows them to memorise a complex scene or pattern at a glance. However Dr. Lisa Parr described research as "ground - breaking"

To sum up, the studies show that elaborate short - term memory skills may have had a much more salient function in early humans than is present in modern human.

Sleep

Dreams

Have you ever wonder how you can interpret some of the most common dreams? Each dream is a mixture of our biological instincts, our cultural assumptions and our own personal experience. As we dream, our brains create stories from these ingredients, sometimes to "replay" recent events, and at times voice concerns that our waking minds are not yet ready to face. These stories are occasionally laced with complicated plots, and sometimes populated with elaborate visual or verbal puns that help us unlock their meaning. Animals symbolize our own traits, good and bad. When you see an animal doing something in your dreams it usually represents a bad trait. Vehicles that you ride in usually reflect two things; the direction you are heading in life, and your body. A child represents to most of us, something new, different and joyous. Using this logic, it is easy to see why a child represents a new phase in your life or a new project as well. When you get into different moods you tend to choose different clothing, so clothing, for this reason best symbolizes your mood or state of mind. They also signify attitude. Nearly any dream you have that refers to death, dying or attending a funeral, or the like, pertain to change. Most all the time this change is very dramatic and major. It can be change in your life attitude or emotional balance. These types of dreams can also symbolize confronting fear, usually fear of death or change. The building in a dream usually points directly to a specific area of your life. Dreaming of being in an office complex, or factory can pertain to your working environment. People most often portrayed in dreams are actually reflections of your own personality traits, provided the dream is not prophetic. Dreams can have different meanings for different people so we have to know about our self as much as possible.

Mother - people who make the biggest influence on me A lot of people make a big influence on me: my friends, my relation byt the biggest influence make my mother. Our relatioship is briliant and I am so happy for that. To start with my mother is very understandable, well wishing, heartiness and very optimistic. When it is hard to make an important decidion my mother always help me and give fabulous seggestions. Next, when I am very sad she always try to make my thinking more positive. She says me: 'keep your pecker up'. Summarizing concrete ways in which my mother influence me I would like to say that she helps me to be more positive and emotional stronger. She shows me that people should be more understandable for each other. I think my mother will have a great influence on me in the future because she is both good mother and good friend. To sum up, I am very happy because I have a wonderful mother and the best example.

PHOBIAS Now I would like to talk about phobias, about famous people who have some phobias, also about causes and treatments. David Beckham: Ataxophobia Talk about perfectionism: In David Beckham's closet, each shirt is filed according to its color. Each can of soda is lined up in his refrigerator like soldiers at attention. Beckham is sometimes described as an ataxophobic or a person who fears disorder. "Everything has to match in the house," his wife, Victoria, formerly known as Posh Spice, told People magazine two years ago. "If there are three cans of diet Coke he'd throw one away rather than having three because it's uneven." Woody Allen: Anhedonia Woody Allen turned his neurosis into a career. "I've been killing spiders since I was 30,'' he boasts to Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. In addition to various insects, Allen also claims to have morbid fears of sunshine, dogs, children, heights, small rooms, crowds, cancer and various illnesses, and any place on earth outside Manhattan. The main causes: Arise from a combination of external events and internal predispositions. Traumatic experience at early age. Heredity, genetics and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences play a big role. Treatments: Some therapists use virtual reality to desensitize patiens to the feared entity. These are parts of systematic desentization therapy. Congitive behavioral therapy can be benficial. It lets the patient understand the cycle of negative thought patterns and ways to change these thought patterns. Congitive behavioral therapy may be conducted in a group setting. Anti-anxiety or anti-depression medications can be of assistance in many cases. In deslusitization three steps are involved: Training the petient to physically relax. Establish an anxiety hierarchy of the stimuli involved. Providing fears stimulus by anxiety hierarchy step after step. There are about 500 phobias but I would talk about some of them. Anglophobia - fear of pain. This phobia can be eliminated by a right methods. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved onesand business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, overall feelings of dread. Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for anglophobia. Bacillophobia - fear of bacteries. A phobia is an unreasonable sort of fear thet can cause avoidance and panic. Phobias are relatively common type of anxiety disorders. This phobia can be treated by Congitive behavioral therapy using exposure and fear reductions techniques and medications during the early stages of therapy. To sum up, there are a lot of phobias but we have to fight with them and win them.

Psychology of Negotiations

We need negotiations to achieve agreements with our employers and employees, customers and contractual partners. We also use negotiations techniques in resolving everyday disagreements. Negotiations have a different meaning for everyone. Negotiations are examined as a process, as a psycho-social phenomenon, a competitive situation, problem resolution and techniques to resolve conflicts.

The major subfields of psychology

There are 20 subfields of psichology. The most interesting one for me is development psychology because this subfiels examines how people grow and change over their life: from the moment of conception through death.

It is very interesting to see how people chage, to see the first baby’s step, to hear the first word, to see the first smile… Also to see and to understand why people are so happy when they fall in love and so on…

…the first step…

…the first word…

…the first smile…

…the first love…

Why I have chosen psichology to study

It is very difficult to explain why
I have chosen this profession...

There are quite many reasons why I have chosen this profession. To start with, it is very interesting profession because you can communicate with people, try to understand them and help them to solve their problems. I am sure that the study program of psichology would provide me with the possibility to help people. It is interesting for me to analyze people characters. I can easily tolerate people of different cheracters. Next, this profession is useful for all professions because everyone should know how to communicate with people and also everyone should hear what other people say. But it is the most difficult thing because many people take care only on themselves. But on the other hand it is very difficult work, because you can not solve people problems quickly and it take a long time to see your work results. In this work everyone should be very faithful, polite, so I think I will cope with this work and I will try to do my best.
