Everyday psychology: ads
I'm not sure if you knew or not but in ads they have a good amount of psychologists behind the set working on how to cleverly use psychology to influence ad watchers to buy the product. Like they can try to make you sad so that you buy whatever it is out of some sort of guilt/pity.

Long time no see
I don't even remember the last I posted a blog. Honestly with all that's going on Genius hour has been hard to focus on so that explains the break. I still have my old research and now that genius hour has re-entered a slot in my schedule I can focus on my topics of how the brain works, how behavior and mood are used in psychology, tricks of psychology, and tricks of psychology. These topics are what I'm going to be studying until the final product in June. That's all I have at the moment so I hope that will suffice. Till' next time

Designated branches
I have begun to take my research to a new level and that level is more on specific branches turf. Less of 'psychology' as a whole and more of 'psychology' in pieces. the main branches that are focused with my 3 new topics are; Behavioral psychology, bio-psychology, and cognitive psychology.
I must be brutally honest and admit that I have not truly gotten much work/research done for my genius hour the month of January so what I can actually talk about in this blog is my new subjects. I really just did talk about that so I guess that is a wrap and till next post!

Welcome back
Welcome back to my Genius Hour! Hope all o' y'all had a great holiday and New years was awesome. Ya well my new years resolution is to change my topics. Before I was stuck on the impossible topics: facts of psychology, different types of psychology, and structure of psychology but now I am doing the much more possible topics: how the brain works, how psychology affects the brain, and how behavior/mood are used in psychological practices.
To be honest before I sounded like a psychology student and now I sound like an aspiring psychologist. I guess as this goes I evolve with my new knowledge. Already I have found a website on how the human mind works and I am beginning to look a it into neuroscience (The study of the nervous system, mainly the brain). The link is https://www.mcgill.ca/neuroscience/neuroscience. I have also found a link about psychology in general and it is http://www.all-about-psychology.com. Pretty cool so check those out. Also with m new subjects not only do I evolve nut I also expand my view of psychology from a few facts to what psychology is studying in its studies itself. So I hope you are all exited for a new year with new facts, and new topics. I guess that's all and till next blog.
