Introduction

o This “Psychology Yearbook” was written as an overview of the

topics that have been studied this session.

o Although the first mention of depression in 1550 B.C. could be

considered the birthplace of psychology, the study of psychology began evolving in the 1800s into modern-day psychology (Cherry, 2019; Dewey, n.d.).

Course Outcome #1 Assess

theoretical perspectives related to human behavior, including physiological explanations for changes in behavior. Deaf babies, babbling, and language comprehension Lisa Packer wrote about a study, conducted by the University of Missouri, that explores how the babbling of babies is impacted if they are deaf. She explains that according to the study, babies “talk” because they can hear themselves, and that when babies cannot hear what they sound like, they make completely different sounds than babies with no hearing loss (Packer, 2016.). Not only do deaf babies make different sounds in comparison to hearing babies, but deaf

babies—with the exclusion of deaf babies who have medical intervention—also do not have as developed language skills as hearing babies do (Packer, 2016).

Lisa Packer Lisa Packer received a bachelor’s degree in Specialized Studies of Child Development, form Ohio University. She is a freelance journalist with an extensive background in healthcare (Packer, 2016). The study that Lisa wrote about is crucial to parents of babies with significant hearing loss; it informs them that they need to make sure that their baby can hear and understand as soon possible, resulting in the baby having a higher level of understanding.

Course Outcome #2 Analyze the

processes of sensation and perception, and the factors that affect consciousness. Sensation vs. perception Greg Mullin and the Bunker Hill Community College wrote that sensation happens when receptors in the body notice a stimulant; perception, is how the body organizes and understands those stimulants (Mullin, & Bunker Hill Community College, n.d.). In short, sensation is the body simply noticing something, but perception is the body processing that thing and deciding what to do with that information (Principles of Anatomy & Physiology, 2017). An example of sensation turning to perception would be someone who subconsciously notices something and then pays attention to it and

begins to think about it.

Greg Mullin Greg Mullin received his Ph.D. in psychology. He has been working in the field since 2008 and has been a psychology professor since 2011 (LinkedIn, n.d.). An example of sensation turning into perception would be someone who subconsciously notices something and then pays attention to it and begins to think about it.

Course Outcome #3 Examine the

physiological and psychological impact of stress, and various techniques for stress management. Techniques of stress management Revathi Turaga wrote an article explaining some useful ways that a person could manage stress. In the article, finding a hobby, going to therapy, exercising, doing yoga, listening to music, managing time effectively, enjoying nature, and meditating are all listed as being very helpful methods of decreasing stress (Turaga, 2019).

Revathi Turaga Revathi Turaga is an inspirational speaker and leadership coach who has over 20 years of expertise coaching and training more than 200,000 people across the world. Everyone experiences stress, and how they seal with it can impact the outcome, as well as their results (Revathi International Trainer, Inspirational Speaker, Behavioural Coach, 2019). Revathi Turaga mentioned some methods that can greatly improve a person’s outlook on circumstances. Not only that, but these methods can also better equip this person to deal with the stressful situations that are thrown at them.

Course Outcome #4 Illustrate models

of learning and memory. Sensory and short-term memory

🐀The first step to a person remembering something is that piece

of information being stored in sensory memory (Heerema, n.d.). This could be compared to a Snapchat photo/video/message that is visible only for a few seconds before disappearing, never to be seen again, unless it is saved.

🐀Short-term memory is the second step to remembering

something; it is a short time after the information was originally processed where the person can remember the information (Heerema, n.d.). In the example of Snapchat, this would be akin to replaying the photo without saving it. A photo can only be replayed immediately after being opened, and unless it is saved, once the photo is replayed, it will still be deleted and gone forever.

Course Outcome #4 Illustrate models

of learning and memory. Working and long-term memory 🐀Working memory is similar to short-term memory although working memory is available for a longer period of time (Heerema, n.d.). Working memory is like when someone who is working on a document and their laptop dies, when the laptop powers back on, everything will still be where it was, despite not being saved. However, once the document is exited out of, it is lost unless it was saved first. 🐀Long term memory holds memories that took place anytime from last week to decades ago (Heerema, n.d.). This could be compared to saving the word document to a computer. Even once the document has been closed out, it can still be found as long as the device that it

was saved on works.

Course Outcome #5 Analyze key

theories on motivation and personality. According to Abraham Maslow, people must meet their primary needs before they can be able to meet the need on the higher levels of the pyramid (Week 4 Lesson: Motivation and Personality: Psychology— Veiguela, n.d.).

Abraham Maslow Maslow’s theory explains most aspects of human behavior. His pyramid shows that people are obligated to satisfy the basic requirements for survival, because what is the point someone being loved and accepted if they die from hunger, thirst, and exposure to the elements? No theory capable of completely explaining human behavior on its own, but when multiple theories and approaches are coupled together, understanding human behavior becomes much easier.

Course Outcome #6 Describe the major

physical, cognitive, and social developmental changes that occur from infancy to adulthood. Physical, cognitive, and social development o For the first year of a child’s life, they usually grow to three times the weight that they were at birth, and two times the height that they were at birth. After this first year, the growth rate slows down immensely (Feldman, 2019). o The ability of children to understand and solve more complex problems as they grow (Feldman, 2019). This can be understood by watching a child come to terms with the fact that their mom is their grandmother’s daughter, instead of thinking that their mom is “Mom” to everyone. o As children grow older, they begin developing more intricate social skills. An example of this would be how a young child is brutally honest to anyone about anything, while an older child would (hopefully) try to find a kinder way to phrase what he or she wants to say.

Course Outcome #7 Describe

different types of psychological disorders, schools of thought on possible causes, and how society responds to people living with mental disorders. Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Possible Causes When someone suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, they experience constant worry that they cannot control. They may feel like something terrible is going to happen without being able to put a finger on exactly what is causing their fear, or they may have specific things that they know triggers their anxiety (Week 7 Lesson: Motivation and Personality: Psychology—Veiguela, n.d.). Genetics, a hyperactive autonomic nervous system, and chemical imbalances in the brain, are believed to play a role in whether or not a

person experiences an anxiety disorder (Feldman, 2019).

Course Outcome #7 Describe

different types of psychological disorders, schools of thought on possible causes, and how society responds to people living with mental disorders. Society’s Reaction to Anxiety Disorders Although the stigma of psychological disorders is becoming less of an issue in today’s society than they used to be, many people still label people as “crazy”, “weird”, “nuts”, and many other hurtful terms for simply being different. People do not seem to have as strong of a reaction to someone who has a disorder as long as that person is receiving treatment, but some people still shun anyone who they perceive as not being like themselves.
