Self-perception theory

The human brain is able to instinctively collect and recall information in a very particular way, however, some troubles seem to lie in how well the brain mismanages this information. In “Your Brain Lies to You,” Authors Dr. Samuel Wang and Dr. Sandra Aamodt, both established neuroscientists, use their knowledge to explain the specific ways the human brain stores memories and data. However, they also present their conclusion on how the brain can also mislead us to blindly believe information…

Clayton Gutzmore Communication Theory SPC 3210 4/19/16 Communication Theory has been about the many ways we can communicate with each other. Over a dozen theories have been explored in this class to understand how can one send and receive messages with one another. One factor that I like to talk about is retention. This leg of the communication animal is something I believe we haven't fleshed out in this class. I always did wonder why we are able to remember certain things but find it…

shades while in defense of Hume you can argue that this shade is simply a compound idea connected by cause and effect. Hume distinguishes between two mental states of the human mind which are Impressions and Ideas. Impressions are our direct lively perceptions of things we have experienced and Ideas are nothing more than less lively copies of your original impressions (Enquiry II). For instance when I am watching an NBA game on TV and see Steph Curry make a half court three-pointer that is an…

Through self-assessment, and based upon my own perception, I believe I am perceived as a transformational leader. However, even the best leaders have areas of improvement. As we progress throughout our careers, we all need to adapt to continuously changing environments, learn how to build upon our strengths, and not be afraid to expose our weaknesses. In three to five years, I will become a Master Sergeant in the Air Force, and as such, I want to be perceived by my supervisors, peers, and…

The objective of this lab was to figure out how to determine the range from a given set of velocity and height from the ball. The height of the ball when it leaves the horizontal projectile is at 93.5cm or .935m. The velocity of the ball was .0674 seconds in the range of .1 meter. Creating a total velocity of 1.484m/s. To calculate the hang-time the formula: y= -4.9t^2 was used. The hang time is used to figure out how long the ball will be in the air for. After you find the answer, the time is…

This meditation begins with the narrator reflecting on his past and realizing that he has a built up and accepted many falsehoods and he decides to sweep the slate clean and look at everything with new opinions and build on his knowledge from new foundations. From the narrator’s perspective, our senses are known to deceive us and that we must never completely trust something that has deceived us. At the end of his first meditation, Descartes believes that he has successfully shown that every…

Callahan did a similar research to the one discussed above, but in addition to looking at the relationship between media and perceptions of crime, she looked at how the media affects different races/ ethnicities. Callahan analyzed previous data obtained by the Social and Behavioral Research Institute at California State University-San Marcos for the Robert Presley center for Crime…

Bright colors. Intricate sounds. Abnormal shapes. Fluid movements. Curiosity and wonderment invoked. As a child, I never understood why art was created. But I never got that far because I mostly focused on what was tangibly in front of me and not what was underneath: the artwork's purpose. I always found myself fascinated of how the artist was capable of creating such a work of art that I found myself wanting to achieve. I did not realize that there was a bigger concept behind art. In Ralph…

In week 8, Roger Kemp discusses ideas primarily based on materials and memory. In particular, Kemp touches on the notions regarding memories of places that exist only in nostalgia and memory and how the five human senses are capable of triggering certain memories through association. The discussion was also largely based on Do ho Suh as a reference of the ability to transport the 'memory' and 'ghost' of your home in times of migration and travel, which Suh achieved through a 1:1 scale fabric…

Reflecting , I should have entered the apartment, noticed the tension and done a perception check to see if my assumptions were correct before assuming they were. A complete perception check consists of three parts. The first part of a perception check is describing the behaviour noticed, for example, I could have said “I feel like there is some tension between us”. The second part of a perception check is providing the other individual with at least two possible examples of the behaviour…
