What are ya doing, Alvin? I 'm doodling. Polly Wolly Doodling. Polly Wolly Doodling?
Ted talk 3 This ted talk don’t eat the marshmallow yet teaches you that if you delay gratification for an even bigger reward you will succeed in life. It is proved that this trait will help you in every single job. At Stanford they did a test on a large group of 4 year old’s with a marshmallow. They left them in a room with the marshmallow for 15 minutes. If the marshmallow was still there, they would get a second marshmallow.
The drive for novelty and wonder in humans is a strong one. Whenever humans encounter novelty, the brain produces a pleasure drug known as Dopamine. Humans are hardwired to seek out surprise in order to reward themselves with this ‘novelty bonus’. 2. Play is delightful
Nicholas Carr in his article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” claims that individual's ability to concentrate and critically analyze information is limited due to the profound impact of the Internet. Through the variety of studies, personal experiences and a number of related methods, Carr reveals aforementioned implications. The author argues that people's ability to concentrate truly decrease because of the Internet. To support his thinking, Carr provides the reader with own experiences and various studies.
The author, John Cloud, of this article, “Study: Doodling Helps You Pay Attention," talked about a study that was published in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology. Psychologist Jackie Andrade of the University of Plymouth in southern England showed that doodlers actually remember more than non-doodlers when asked to retain tediously delivered information, like, say, during a boring meeting or a lecture. In her small but rigorous study, Andrade separated 40 participants into two groups of 20. All 40 had just finished an unrelated psychological experiment, and many were thinking of going home (or to the pub). They were asked, instead, whether they wouldn 't mind spending an additional five minutes helping with research.
Now it is up to the reader to experience this “experiment” instead of advertising
Obedience is tested by how long the subject will continue to “shock the victim”. The point of this study is to determine if Americans are obedient even if they know the act is wrong. 2. What is/are the research questions and/or hypothesis/hypotheses? How obedient would subjects be to researchers when it comes to shocking a victim?
Patti Dobrowolski states that the benefits individuals received from drawing out their plan for the future will better them remember because individuals remember things better when they attach it to a picture. Dobrowolski shared that individuals have a increase of 65% better memory when they attach it to a picture. Secondly, Dobrowolski said that individuals get the most power when they paint their own picture. In this video, Dobrowolski stress the importance of, in order to achieve it, you must first see it, believe it, then ask and train your brain to act on it. When individuals draw their pictures and see their current life, they should feel pain because it hurts.
On day six Zimbardo and Milgram decided to conclude the experiment. Zimbardo originally intended to explore how prisoners adapt to powerlessness, but he has contended that the experiment demonstrates how swiftly arbitrary assignment of power can lead to abuse. (Maher, The anatomy of obedience. P. 408) Once the experiment was completed Zimbardo and Milgram concluded that generally people will conform to the roles they are told to play.
The Death of Doodle “Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.” -Pauline Kael.
Research on "hot" and "cool" strategies suggests that when children cognitively represent what they are waiting for as a real reward by focusing on the reward's arousing, "hot" qualities (taste, smell, sound, feel, etc.) their self-control and delay of gratification decreases, while directing attention to a symbol of the reward by focusing on its abstract, "cool" qualities (shape, color, number, etc.), can enhance self-control and increase the delay. Optimal self-control and the longest delay to gratification can be achieved by directing attention to a competing item, especially the arousing, "hot" qualities of a competing item. For example, delays are increased when thinking about the taste and smell of popcorn while waiting to eat candy. This illustrates an individual's ability to manipulate his/her cognitive representation of external stimuli for goal-directed
However, this wasn 't the end of Mischel research towards delaying gratification, "The marshmallow experiments eventually led Mischel and his colleagues to develop a framework to explain the human ability to delay gratification" ("What You Need to Know" 3). Mischel well then later look into this experiment as a great discovery to improve children 's health, skills, and choices, due to delaying gratification. Because of this great effect on children, another researcher for the University of Rochester decided to do the same experiment. On the other hand, this person decided to change things differently that would add more insight towards delaying gratification. The conductor of this decided that they would talk to the parents before offering the option of giving a treat
In our present day and age many people now listen to music while doing a number of various activities. There is a big debate whether listening to music benefits you and helps you to concentrate and focus especially while studying. I researched whether listening to music helps you concentrate and focus. Listening to music is one of the only activities which involve using both sides of the brain. When concentrating on a specific task you are normally only using one part of your brain while concentrating so the other parts of your brain that is unoccupied drifts off which causes you to lose concentration.
I first encountered the joys of research through my seventh-grade science fair project. I had decided that I simply had to have the coolest experiment and after the assignment had been announced I spent the rest of my day trying to procure epic project ideas. Then after excitedly presenting the assignment to my Dad, I realized that neither of us knew how to execute any of my ideas. With my Dad’s guidance, I then decided that it was more important to conduct quality research than to have the coolest experiment. With this in mind, I selected a topic within behavior science, my Dad’s field, so I could have maximum help and assistance.
Their artistic endeavors even promote cognitive development (i.e., pressing a pencil or crayon harder will darken the color, while holding it
