It is definetely more complicated and more elusive to try to explain how the mind works than to explain behavior Still, I can also see that cognitive psychology is important in order to be able to explain things that behaviorism can't explain like human speech and memory.

Message-ID: <44F0E134.1080209@utah.edu> You may have noticed that there has been quite a debate about the number of planets in the solar system over the last two weeks or so.... Sounds like a problem for astrophysics, but believe it or not the issue really boils down to a psychological issue of categorization and the number of items that easily fit into a cluster -- 9 planets (or items) is a convenient number for grouping, but the plan announced two weeks ago would have enlarged the number to 15 or more, whereas the new categorization scheme excludes Pluto making for a total of 8 planets -- a number that is more cognitively and psychologically tractable. That is, the arbitrary definition of a planet was shaped in part by the cognitive/mental process of categorization and how many things can fit into the categorization before it becomes unwieldy. When you learned the planets as a child, 9 was easier to learn that 15+, especially with the names associated with the later possible planets.

According to Prof. Strayer, this will make it easier for school kids to learn the names of the planets, because, if you follow his logic, since 9 is an easier grouping to remember than 15, eight must be easier still. Good news for elementary schoolers, but what about us "old people" who have been taught for years that there are 9 planets? Is this new information going to be difficult for us to learn and remember, or will it come easily; just one less piece of information to retain? I don't know about the rest of you, but I learned and remember planetary names with memory devices, like taking the first letter of every planet name and making a new phrase from them, ie. Martians Very Eagerly Mixing Juice Smoothies Under Nine Planets. That memory trick still works, but now I have to remember to drop the P, which means I have one more thing to remember and not one less.

I had never before thought about the cognitive process and the steps that our mind goes through in order to process the images that our eyes take in. I also was surprised at how difficult I found it trying to answer the first question on the study guide. For me the process of trying to transform the thoughts that I had concerning the steps and process that goes on in seeing an image and putting these thought on paper was difficult. I wonder what that says about my cognitive processes. Alan Richmond __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hello,

My name is Kyle Murdock. I had the coolest thing happen the other day that relates to what we have been talking about in class. I recieved an e-mail of all these visual tricks. One of them used after images. What you do is you stare at the screen that is a big sloppy mess of lines and you stare at it for a lengthy amount of time. After staring you look at a wall or something and blink your eyes, and what appears is a picture of Jesus. This astounded me and I want to know what would make it so that we only see parts of this sloppy picture in the after image that makes you see a picture of Jesus? If anybody has any insight be sure to post it! Thank you,

Kyle Murdock

If you want to discuss the = outrageousness of Pluto being taken away from our planetary lineup, do = it, but make sure you can relate it back to class, as one of you did by = tying it into mnemonics. Second, it is hard to tell you a = specific length to make each of your postings and heaven knows = I don't want to read term papers for each of you, each week but keep in = mind this is supposed to be a learning tool. Ask a question and theorize = about what the answer might be or answer someone = else's question or just make comments about something you find = interesting in readings or lecture and why. Each of you will have = different perspectives or insights on various topics, bring these to the = table, they are interesting. I recommend you read each other's postings = and add to them. Finally, if you have put up a posting that was "just = testing" make sure to add additional comments if you would like credit = for this week. I will base my grading from Monday night to Monday = night. If your posting for the week is not in the Monday night = batch, it will count towards next week. This should be a fun = and simple modes credit if you keep in mind what is expected of = you. I will contact you individually for the first couple weeks if your = posting is not quite up to par but, after that you are on your own. = Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to your = posts!

I was very interested when Professor Strayer mentioned in passing on thursday that delusions are partially a result of improper grouping and filling in of the blanks. The whole idea of the brain filling in what it thinks belongs strikes me as a remarkable feat, and for it to usually guess right makes it more unbelievable. I started wondering how it is that delusions are not a much more common thing instead of the phenomenon they are. Are our brains so precise and so fine tuned to the world that we honestly don't mess things up that often or are we simply able to recover and hide our mistakes? I for one am VERY interested in the descussions of next week's classes. _________________________________________________________________ Get real-time traffic reports with Windows Live Local Search http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=42.336065~-109.392273&style=r&lvl=4&scene=3712634&trfc=1 From psych3120@lists.csbs.utah.edu Thu Aug 24 20:04:41 2006 From: psych3120@lists.csbs.utah.edu (Chad C Moffitt) Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 13:04:41 -0600 Subject: [Psych3120] (no subject) Message-ID: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6C7B0.272531E3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6C7B0.272531E3 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Hi all,

I just noticed that online Eve's email is listed as Eve.Miller@utah.edu and on our handout it's listed as Eve.Miller@psych.utah.edu

First of all I'm wondering which one is correct, and second I'm wondering if David's should be David.Strayer@psych.utah.edu and not David.Strayer@utah.edu

If anyone has been success contacting them through email let me know which one is the correct one...

Thanks,

Ryan Green
