  I believe the first test isn't valid because there's no timer testing your short term memory. I was able to keep this tab open and glimpse at it from the time I was in class until I got home, so the memorization wasn't very short term. My score were good though :). I think this test was more valid than the past test because you couldn't stare at the picture for long periods of time. Also, photos repeated many time or repeated once at the beginning and again at the end, giving a variety to the test. I did good on this test too. This test felt the most valid because it is testing different variations of something humans interact with in everyday life. We think we know what it looks like, but when it comes down to it we don't really know what it looks like. I was able to get this right first try. Summary: I think I'm just good at memory tests.

  Compliance: Taylor Swift showed compliance when agreeing with Ticket Master's decision to sell her tickets at dynamic pricing Obedience: Taylor Swift showed obedience when complying with the court's decision that Scooter Braun had control over the masters of her albums.  Social facilitation: When she's practicing Taylor Swift wears comfy clothes, but in front of her fans, she wears full out sequin outfits. Group polarization: Taylor Swift was staying relatively silent and killing Kanye West with kindness until media started taking her side and encouraged her to stand up for herself. Reciprocity norms: In exchange for all their support, Taylor Swift always does things for her fans including, but not limited to, meeting some of her fans in her house.

 For my topic I choose psychology tricks to make someone like you. So here are 5 interesting trick I found. 1. Reveal your flaws with them every once in a while. People like you more if you are able to make mistakes them fix them because they find you competent and relatable. 2. Let them talk about themselves. Studies show that people gain validation from having others listens to them talk about their lives. 3. Wait a few seconds before answering a question. It'll make the person seem like you're deeply contemplating what they asked. 4. Rather them surface level compliment specific things that others may notice. We all feel happy getting compliments that are specific to our personality. 5. If you're in a group setting try to highlight things they do well.

When animals first transitioned from water to land animals they had to develop ears, but not all these aquatic animals evolved in this way. To test if animals could still hear without a middle ear, scientists put speakers into water and played different frequencies. They observed that the auditory nerve in their brains would be stimulated differently when hearing different sounds. This whole experiment showcases that even before the development of ears animals could still hear under water. I think it's really that even after animals have evolved to have middle ears, some animals such as the lung fish still hear via their lungs. I also think it's interesting how although they have a different approach to hearing, they still use the frequencies and vibrations to hear. https://www.science.org/content/article/early-land-animals-heard-sounds-their-lungs

 Since my birthday is January 18, my hero's powers are related to the hippocampus (memory) and dopamine(good feelings). My superhero, Mesmera, was born a twin. Sadly when she was 14, her twin brother caught cancer. Mesmera would do everything she could to try and cheer him up, but sadly he passed away. What Mesmera didn't know was that everytime the doctors put a chemical into her brother for his cancer, they would also inject the chemical into her as apart of a twin study. Her body associated the chemicals with trying to cheer others up, but when her brother passed away, her body no longer knew what to do with these chemicals, so they mutated into her superpower. She then realized she had the ability to alter memories of others via a dopamine release allowing her to turn negative memories into positive ones. She now uses her power to find villain's origins and making them positive memories; therefore, stopping them from being evil.

 I was born January 18, 2006. One of my earliest memories is of my old family dog, Augar, who did not like me very much. He finally was showing me some affection until my dad got up and left the room with Augar following closely behind.  Other than my dog's lack of interest for me, my childhood was largely characterized by dance and my family. In my last post I detailed the first time I received a major role in one of my dance shows, but what I didn't mentioned is that I recently dropped out of dance. While I miss it, I do enjoy having more free time, and my sleep schedule is ten times better than it used to be. Furthermore, a key part of my life was weekly hangouts with my family. Every week all my aunts, uncles, and cousins would meet up at my grandma's house and spend the whole day together. We would play poker and Super Smash Bros, watch movies like harry potter, and play tag chair hide and seek (a game my oldest cousins created).  School wise, I remember being one of...

From the ages 3-16 I professionally trained in ballet at Cookie Joe's Dancin' School . One of my proudest moments was the first time I ever received a main part in a show as Peter Pan. My teachers told me they all unanimously agreed that I was perfect for the role, and they choose my best friend to play Wendy! 4 truths and a lie. 1.  I broke my arm when I was 6. 2. Vietnamese is my first language. 3. I've been to All Stars for swim. 4. I've never been out of the country. 5. I've gotten a 36 on a test before.
