Game Theory Reflection blog

Nash equilibrium- creating a strategy to better the situation that one is in

Game theory- the decision to change your opponent’s strategy to better the outcome of yourself

Prisoner dilemma- the cooperation between 2 people to have the best outcome for the both of them

 

                I played the interactive prisoners dilemma, and found it very interesting.  I played the game twice and in the time of playing it I figured out that it had a pattern. It did what I did when that is what it wanted me to do. If I did something that it didn’t like it competed against me.

History- the Cuban missile crisis- predicting the outcome if something bad would have happened

Government-opec- the decision of oil prices to keep the prices in order

Economics- the United States cutting oil to compete with other countries to make a larger profit.

Related to sociology- having the thoughts about

Related to psychology- decisions about staying in a relationship

In your everyday life- while walking down the side walk only room for 1 and there are two of you deciding how to solve the situation

I really liked the oil pricing activities that we did in class they were educational and fun. All of the activities were a 10 I really enjoyed them. Don’t change them

Inkblot review

The area of interest is the Rorschach inkblot test. After taking the test myself I can vouch that I don’t think that the test is a good way to evaluate someone. For me I couldn’t see anything in the one pain. I guess some psychologist somewhere would give me a mental answer. At one time the ink blot test was the most widely projective test used. Then again that time was in the 1960’s.For me I don’t believe that one person can look at a picture (inkblots) and another person can analysis that person. We are all different something may look different to one person than the other. It would be different if it was just a straight forward picture, but it is just blots. The test is basically your word against the psychologist’s word. Yes, this test has been in use for many years, but I can’t believe that with the technology that we have today that we can’t find a better and more effective way the analysis a person’s mind to see what they are thinking. I think that in time we will be using computers more and more to get a better understanding of why people are wired the way that they are. 

Classical Conditioning

Teaching the unknowing

     This summer Toby, Alex, Tory Garret and myself all went fishing on Waubay lake. We caught just under our limit if fish. So that meant that we needed to clean the fish. We took the fish back to my place to clean. Turns out that none of the other guys knew how to clean a fish. I went to the house and got a few sharp knives and a couple bowls to put the meat in. We set up a table and my dad and myself proceeded to show the guys how to filet fish. I showed them how to on the first couple of fish then I gave them the rest of the knives and we proceeded to filet the fish. I didn't want to let anything go to waste. So I would have to help the stragglers and the ones that really needed help. Towards the end the guys finally started to get it. After we got done cleaning we went and washed every thing down and Toby was trying to be funny and spray my dad with the hose. So my dad took a bucket of water and took off after Toby and just drenched him. After that all went down mom was cooking the fish that we caught and we had a big fish fry.

There are many reasons why people want to study physiology. Some people are prepping for college some are just in it for the class. I personally am in the class to learn how the mind works by processing information and how to analyze people and their thoughts. Plus I would like to also like to learn the power of reverse psychology for future use. I have learned many things form being in all of the classes that you have taught me over the years, from being responsible and never asking why but instead asking why not. There are a few more things that I would like to learn from you as a teacher teaching psychology. Like how to deal with people that are not really capable of handling the tasks that are put in front of them. I also would like to learn about how relationships weather being just friends or being in a more serious relationships effect the mind in any way shape or form. Also I would like to learn if cartoons are bad for the mind .To be honest I would be willing to learn anything that you are willing to teach us, because you have taught this class before and know what to teach.
