What I am learning


My new idea at 3 am tonight: I was getting tired of studying for this exam I have to take on saturday so I decided to divert my attention elsewhere... though I didn't leave my apartment. (like this mini photo shoot for this shot) I am so tired of school. I better get back to one more hour before I go to bed. Holy crap its four am almost. No I am going to bed in a min. Here is my "What I am Learning" post thingy so when I am feeling like teaching moments in time I might post this silly pic, by the way that is not a textbook and it is upside down. hehe. Yeah coffee, schoolwork, zombie brain, and plain silliness will do things to make the inner artist be creative. I am in my jammies learning about Child Development and Genetics blah blah. I casually mention things on here about what I am learning but not in the learning sort of way, if you get my drift... hehe. More so mocking. ME? Mock? No. On a negative note, my damn furnace is not heating up. So I have a SPACE HEATER!!! Horray for those suckers! Its a whopping ten inches big. What good that will do. Hah Thats what she said.
Oh no. I am tired. I am going to bed but I will leave with one learning moment:
I am reviewing Classical conditioning. Where you associate something with something and then you remember it ladidah ok. So. My teacher had a discussion about a time when she had this situation and had an open discussion about it on our CANVAS online lecture page. hehe. Here was my response:
1. Unconditioned stimulus (evokes a response)
2. Unconditioned response (reflex to the stimulus)
3. Conditioned stimulus (repeatedly paired with the first stimulus that you don't forget)
4. Conditioned response (response that follows)
SO: (Mom this is totally for you and Papa. lol)
1. Black Angus food poisoning miserableness for two days when I was 14. (so the bacteria)
2. Uhhhh... I am a lady I do not discuss what happens in the bathroom out in the public. (horrible response)
3. Everytime I drive by a Black Angus, which is closed now by the way!!!
4. I shiver and shun it. AND I never ate there again. ick!!!
Easy peasy. :) Now I know how to remember that for the test.
And now you are gonna think of something you are conditioned to. Like hearing a bell and salivating. :)
like a dog...

I miss my sugar plum.


I need to get to bed. Nighty.
