~Chapter 5 Blog~

I really enjoyed this chapter compared to the last chapter. It was great reading about adolescence, which all of us in this class seem to be going through right now, including myself.
One thing I learned in this chapter was that what the conscious mind does not know and cannot express in words, the nervous system somehow remembers. This was really intriguing to me, but according to the study we really do remember things through our nervous system.
Another thing I found surprising in this chapter was one of the phrases in this chapter. “Forty years ago I had a great memory, but I was a fool.” I love this phrase actually. Its so interesting that even though a person grows old, they are gaining wisdom as well.
I also learned that moral action feeds moral attitude. This means that by actually doing good deeds as morals we gain a moral attitude. I just thought that this was really interesting because I do realize that when I do good deeds, I feel more like an adult and it forms my moral attitude.
I really enjoyed watching the video on learner.org. It was interesting to view experiments of children developing skills and how they process certain problems. It was really cool to see how one little girl couldn’t find the big Snoopy, but at 3 years of age another girl could find Snoopy easily. I just found the movie really intriguing to watch. The other video was great as well. I liked how it simply put it that teenagers go through times when we may not seem like we want to talk and that it’s normal.
