An Attempt At Understanding Dreams
.... it really makes me wonder. I also don't know why I had that dream a few
weeks after the movie and not the same night I watched it, especially that I had
completely forgotten about it until the night of the dream, at least consciously.
Anyway, I decided to use the chance of having to write a paper for
Psychology 201 (especially that I hardly write papers because I'm an Engineering
major), and I almost instantly knew that I was going to explore the world of
dreams and the process of dreaming. Before I go any further though, I think I
know from the start that no matter how much material I gather or people I
interview, .....

Steroids And Their Affects On The Human Body
.... always used for sports, they started out the same way
most drugs did, medicinal purposes. Victims of starvation and severe injury

currently available. During the first week of life is where most deaths that
are associated with prematurity dominate, SIDS is the leading cause of death
among infants under one year of age, according to Bergman. It ranks second only
to injuries as the cause of death in children less than fifteen years of age.

record when they become hungry and when they become tired. They will be in this

How Organism Learn: Classical And Operant Conditioning
.... The stimulus begins as neutral and causes no conditioned response.
However, if the neutral stimulus can be associated with another stimulus, then
it becomes a conditioned stimulus.
Classical conditioning can be exemplified in the home, school, and school.
In the home a child could smell brownies baking in the kitchen which makes her
mouth water. The brownies are the unconditioned stimulus, the smell is the
conditioned stimulus, and the watering of the mouth is the conditioned response

Surrogate Mothers
.... that situation comes.
How many of you have ever held a small child in your arms and looked into its
small eyes and felt the love that you had for it. Perhaps it was a younger
sibling, perhaps even a child of your own. You know how much that you love that
little one. And of course, you all know how much the child's mother loves it.
What must it be like, I ask you, to be a mother or a father and know that you
will never have a son or a daughter to hold and call your own? Knowing that you
