O.Man Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The human mind is a wonderous thing, if you had the chance and all supplies were funded for, what psychological experiment would you like to pursue? Which area of human behaviour interests you the most?me personally is racism, and how the only racism that exists in childrens mind is subconsious racism, (where infant girls chose to play with the white doll consistantly without being able to explain why, and why they always choose to play with a white friend), and when it occours in elders consiously it is always a product of stereotyping.Research Suggests that changes occour in our cognitive abilities as we get older. Increased Schema (framework of knowledge) with age, may affect the deconstruction of ones perception. Bartlett (1932) proposed that we rebuild our memories using existing knowledge (Schema), unconciously applying Schema-consistant information to the reconstruction; this study has led me to believe that the schema and memory play a considerable role in deconstructing what one sees. There is a possibility that we apply schema-consistant information to our vision which could affect what we perceive. This could also explain why there is a high number of adults who stereotype compared to younger teenagers and children. bang bang psychology gang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thun Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Sigmund Freud Freud is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression. He is also renowned for his redefinition of sexual desire as the primary motivational energy of human life which is directed toward a wide variety of objects; as well as his therapeutic techniques, including his theory of transference in the therapeutic relationship and the presumed value of dreams as sources of insight into unconscious desires.Freud is commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his work has been highly influential — popularizing such notions as the unconscious, the Oedipus complex, defense mechanisms, Freudian slips and dream symbolism—while also making a long-lasting impact on fields as diverse as literature, film, Marxist and feminist theories, and psychology. An enormously controversial figure during his lifetime, he remains the subject of vigorous and even bitter debate, with the value of his legacy frequently disputed.Sick guy.

O.Man Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 @ MzBthat was Freud and what you are talkin about is the oedepus complex, ''all little boys have sexual fantacys about there mther and want to kill their father.'' he didn't say that thoughFreud studied little Hans (some little kid), interpreted his dreams, and his actions, we feel a desire for our mothers as they are the only female in the house, we feel threatened by our fathers as they are competition, but we grow to some sort of acceptance with the social situation, and aim to become our father and find a partner similar to our mother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.Man Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 id love to do more scientific research into 'lucid dreaming', causes effects, ways of inducing etc.so that is accepted more rather than simply being seen as a section of parapsychologythere was actually a study like this, REM (5 hours+) sleep contained more vivid, constructed dreams, and there was a link between foods ate and chances of dreaming, and the ability to recollect dreams. personally i think if you can recollect dreams, the more you do it you are more likely to realise you are in a dream. a study on this would be sick though, would be very hard to orchestrate unless you were the sample, even then its hard to get yourself into a lucid state, Very hard. the only times ive been lucid is accidental dreams, ive never successfully worked myself into lucidity, i get to excited at the thought of being lucid that i wake up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.Man Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 i studied him last year in psychology, i do believe the oedipus complex holds alot of wieght and meaning, but obviously it is the cause of bitter debate on his workthe thing is no one remembers their mentality when they were a kidthe study is also important in terms of self discovery and ones role in nature. like you see that you have a penis what are you meant to do with it? you haven't hit puberty yet so its more of a mental situtuation them chemical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleef Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 waitcleef i got it wrong inityeh think ur getin it confused with WBTB which is probably a better technique to begin with anyway...though not in some peoples cases would try all techniques to find which suits you mosta wild is where you fall asleep consciously...remaining aware while drifting off to sleep, sort of in a self hypnosis trance like statealthough you are right in the fact that they are easier for some to induce in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
