Post 8 - Psych Memes!

So, we have ALMOST

Now it's time to prove it! I want you to create 5 original memes using this site or this site or any meme generator that works with the district filter (just create them and copy and paste them in your blog). Your memes should be original, creative and psych-related. Look through your vocab to find unusual ideas for your memes. Include a link with each of your memes to a website (not wikipedia) related to the term/concept. I may use some of my favorites in my PowerPoints next year!

Post 7 - How good is your memory?

With APs and finals coming up, seems like a good time to blog about memory. I have found some fun stuff for you to do. Visit the following links, do at least 3 of the memory tests then post a summary of your results and thoughts on the validity of the tests. (disclaimer: these links worked when I tested them...your results may vary)

• More here
• Short-term memory test
• Explore your memory
• Picture short-term memory test
• Short-term memory test
• How is your memory for faces? (another version)
• Test your memory for an everyday object.
• Test your problem solving skills
• Another problem solving test
• Test different types of reasoning

Here's a great site with lots of memory improvement tips and tools!
After your tests, find a current article about some resent memory research and share it at the end of your post!

Some food for thought...gum improves memory???

Post 6 - Social Psych...it's real life

 Today we are going to explore some Social Psych concepts IRL. Find examples of the following concepts and provide a photograph and an explanation in your own words of how the concept applies to a real world example. The catch is, they must all be related to the same theme...holiday, school, celebrity, sports, etc.

• Compliance
• Obedience
• Social facilitation
• Group polarization
• Reciprocity norms

One week to TAYLOR!!!
