    1. An important aspect of the structuralist approach was that it was rigorous and scientific. The research marked the beginning of psychology as a science, because it demonstrated that mental events could be quantified.

      When psychology went from philosophical to a scientific study.

    2. Titchener was a student of Wundt who came to the United States in the late 1800s and founded a laboratory at Cornell University. In his research using introspection, Titchener and his students claimed to have identified more than 40,000 sensations, including those relating to vision, hearing, and taste.

      WOW

    3. These studies marked the first time researchers realized that there is a difference between the sensation of a stimulus and the perception of that stimulus, and the idea of using reaction times to study mental events has now become a mainstay of cognitive psychology.

      So interesting

    4. For instance, our judgment may be affected by our desires to gain material wealth and to see ourselves positively and by emotional responses to the events that happen to us.

      True

    5. There has also been an increasing influx of women into the field. Although most early psychologists were men, now most psychologists, including the presidents of the most important psychological organizations, are women.

      Ayeeeyuhhh

    1. Development is multidirectional. We show gains in some areas of development while showing loss in other areas

      Is this more relative to trauma or relates to all children regardless of what they experienced in their early years? I never knew of this term nor of losing knowledge while also learning.

    2. fine motor skills

      fine motor skills is one of my favorite things to think about when I do lesson plans for my preschoolers . I feel like a lot of parents overlook what it means and how important it is.

    3. Development is multicontextual.2 We are influenced by both nature (genetics) and nurture (the environment) - when and where we live and our actions, beliefs, and values are a response to circumstances surrounding us. The key here is to understand that behaviors, motivations, emotions, and choices are all part of a bigger picture.3

      This is a perfect way to word exactly how I view Nature vs nurture both are equally as important and impactful when it comes to shaping a person especially in early childhood.

    4. Development is characterized by plasticity, which is our ability to change and that many of our characteristics are malleable. Early experiences are important, but children are remarkably resilient (able to overcome adversity).

      This actually gives me so much reassurance as a mom because lots of times I lost patience and get frustrated with my daughter and I feel like i'm damaging her just by yelling or taking away something.

    1. ow much do you play a role in your own developmental path? Are you at the whim of your genetic inheritance or the environment that surrounds you? Some theorists see humans as playing a much more active role in their own development. Piaget, for instance, believed that children actively explore their world and construct new ways of thinking to explain the things they experience. In contrast, many behaviorists view humans as being more passive in the developmental process.11

      I don't know how I feel about this text. Yes I think we ourselves learn and play a role in our own development but I don't really see it being so as impactful as the role that others play such as our parents, siblings family members, teachers , caregivers, environment etc.

    2. Thus, stage theorists assume development is more discontinuous. Others, such as the behaviorists, Vygotsky, and information processing theorists, assume development is a more slow and gradual process known as continuous development. For instance, they would see the adult as not possessing new skills, but more advanced skills that were already present in some form in the child. Brain development and environmental experiences contribute to the acquisition of more developed skills.

      I honestly don't quite understand this explanation. if you already known something as a child , its common knowledge to later adapt that knowledge even more and learn new skills as well.

    1. It is through this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that infrared radiation is transferred through the atmosphere and into space. These windows can be "closed" by clouds which absorb infrared radiation. That is why the earth's surface and the air above it are warmer on mornings after cloudy nights than on mornings after clear nights

      I find this interesting because I thought that cloudy nights would bring colder mornings since there is less light coming from the moon.

    1. As you increase the pressure of a gas, the collision frequency increases and thus the solubility goes up, as you decrease the pressure, the solubility goes down..

    1. In the early days of data analysis (when generated data was mostly structured and not quite so “big”), it was possible to keep data in local storage (e.g., on a single computer or a portable hard drive). With this setup, data processing and analysis was all done locally as well.

      History of big data and also DBMS

    2. Once the data is collected and prepared, it must be analyzed in order to discover meaningful insights, a process called data analysis

      The process of discovering meaningful insights is Data analysis.

    1. The law of increasing opportunity cost holds that as an economy moves along its production possibilities curve in the direction of producing more of a particular good, the opportunity cost of additional units of that good will increase.

      the more you produce one good (a) over another (b), the more the opportunity cost of producing that good (a) will increase.

    1. Newborns are also routinely screened for different conditions. Within the first 24 to 48 hours after birth, babies born in hospitals undergo a simple heel stick and a few drops of blood are collected on a special paper card.

      This is one of the hardest things for me to watch after giving birth. I don't do well watching my baby get the heel stick screening done, especially in my case being diabetic, my babies are screened many times during their first 24 hrs. to screen for diabetes.
