Entry #4: Psychology 101

     This semester I took a Psychology class. I realized that there are so many things that I didn't understand about psychologists and psychology all together.

1.     A misunderstanding that I had about psychologists before taking PSY101 is that Psychologists only listen to people and prescribe or diagnose. In this Psychology class I have learned that Psychologists really do way more than that, they honestly research anything they want or what they specialize in whether that is the human brain or the environment and so much more and they create and do experiments to create ideas.

2.     In some of the chapters in this Psychology class I have learned about different psychologists and what they have done and how they have impacted the beliefs and psychology in the world, Biopsychology, states of consciousness within a human, our sensation and perception, the way we learn, our thinking and intelligence, and how our memory works. These chapters have taught me that psychologists really do way more than just listen, diagnose, and prescribe patients.

3.     Now I realize the reason why there is such a need for psychologists and why there are so many people interested in psychology classes. This is because there is such a wide variety of things an individual could do within this field and its all up to what your mind desires to know and do.
