Week 3: Biology Superhero

The Sleeper is involved in many life-threatening situations. He is able to alleviate pain by making someone go into a deep sleep at any time of the day. He takes advantage of the reticular formation (the part of the brain that is associated with sleep and consciousness) and the endorphins (hormone that reduces pain).


The Sleeper was born with these amazing superpowers, and he had a lot of fun using them during his childhood. He grew up in a normal town and went to a normal school. School was boring for him, so each day he would hack into one of his colleague's brain and make them fall asleep during class. The teachers would become furious and scream at the student for not paying attention, and this was very entertaining to The Sleeper. He also took advantage of his power to make his enemies fail tests by making them sleep until time was up. The Sleeper was never caught despite multiple efforts by the school to try to find out why their students were always dozing off during class. The Sleeper went on to graduate college with a degree in medicine, and he now works as a doctor.


                                



During work, The Sleeper goes by his childhood name. He makes millions as a doctor because he can simply cure a patient's pain by making them fall asleep. In his free time, he becomes The Sleeper by putting on his mask and traveling around his city to search for crime. When he finds a robber stealing something, he simply makes the robber become unconscious and calls the police. If he sees bullying on the streets, he makes the bully and the victim fall asleep. As a plus, the victim's pain will be gone when he wakes up.

One major disadvantage is that The Sleeper is not able to travel very quickly, so he has some allies to help him keep the entire world safe! The Empathizer (https://rannonh2019psych.blogspot.com), the Masked Puppeteer (https://philip2019psych.blogspot.com), and Reflex (https://kennethl2019psych.blogspot.com) all have astonishing powers that help form the Sticky Psychos superhero squad.

Week 9: Future Psych

Dear AP Psych Student, I learned a lot in Ms Halfen's psychology class despite it only lasting one semester. I felt much more prepared for the AP test in May than if I had to self study the material or take the course over the summer. One piece of advice that I would give is to do the vocabulary in a timely manner even if Ms Halfen says it's optional. It only takes a maximum of 30 minutes each day, and the study plan doesn't assign vocabulary on the weekends. I personally found it less stressful to skip a couple days of vocab during the schooldays and catch up on the weekend. Also, I encourage borrowing or purchasing a review book (Princeton, Barron's, Five Steps, etc) at the beginning of the course. This helps a lot when doing the assigned vocabulary, and I noticed some terms on the tests that I only knew about due to my review book. My favorite activity was the quizlet live reviews before the tests, and I think more of these should be done next year. A lot of peop...

Week 2- Memory Tests

Image
This week, I tested my brain's memory by taking three different memory tests.                                                                                                The first memory test measured the maximum amount of numbers that I could memorize within 10 seconds. I was able to correctly memorize 10 digits before failing, which was above the average of 7 digits. I think that this test is valid. One reason for this is because I did not see any numerical patterns or instances where there were repeated numbers adjacent to each other. If the tester could recognize numerical patterns or repetitions that show up by chance, then an unrealistic score could be attained. The second memory test that I did tested the ability to recognize detail...
