Michelle Martinez’S Ap Psychology Year In Review :

Homeostasis Unit 8, Modules 37-40

Where one had to maintain a balance in their bodies in a consistent state with the regulation of the body and its chemistry like glucose, blood, with particular levels. I would say it had a small impact in my life because I now know that we all should have a perfect balance of blood and glucose i know our bodies cause it can affect us in the future and I now take a bit better of my health.

Random assignment Unit 2,Modules 4-8

Is when people are assigned into two types of different groups like an experimental and a control group and because its a random it minimizes the preexisting differences between the two groups

I would say this didn’t have as much of an impact in my life but it did help me better understand how two different groups that are formed can have different results when each person is different in there own way. That person can change the results for something very important.

schizophrenia spectrum

Unit 12, Modules 67.2 - 69

It's a disorder that has the characteristics of delusion, hallucination, inappropriate behaviors and emotions,lastly disorganization of one's speech.

This year I learned that schizophrenia is not an easy disorder to deal with. I say this because recently a family member of mine began to have symptoms of schizophrenia and my family take turns in taking care of that family member.

Habituation Unit 6, Module 26

How an organism decreases its response to stimulus with the repeated amount of exposure to it.

This concept has had a change in my life because it true that after always repeating the same thing and always being exposed to them we will get used to the things we normally do and start to do them a bit slower because I know and everyone else knows that it will stay the same and not change

Summary:

Throughout the year I learned how our bodily functions work together without brain. I learned how our brain can store memories that we might need one day, how the brain sends signals to different parts of our bodies to make them. I learned the structure of the eyes and ears and how they all have one source that connects to the brain to send singles of what we are listening or viewing. I found it interesting that our brain is responsible for things like think, talk, feel, see, hear, memories, and our breathing. I learned about a bunch of new disorders, and diseases. Learned about stress and illnesses, social developments, psychological and mood disorders and many more. All these illnesses and disorders all ended up leading to one part of our body and that was the brain and different parts of the brains that controlled different parts of us like our muscles, language, moods, etc.
