Interview on Music and the Brain


Image result for arrow down
    I choose to do Music and our Brains and picked my suit mate Cossette to interview.  Cossette is part of the choir and has been singing for several years now.  She has always been interested in music and has been singing most of her life so I thought she would be the perfect person to interview; plus she is conveniently located right on the other side of our bathroom.  She gladly accepted and this is how our conversation went.






      We are both a little awkward in the beginning, but I think we warmed up to the camera a little after a while.  I mean after all, it is weird getting film by some one and filming yourself.  I really tried to ask good questions about music and how she thought it affected her brain.  For me personally, music tends to help me study and block out all the other noise.  I really do my homework better when I am listening to my favorite songs.

This is Cossette Rodriguez!


      The main point of this was to see how music affects the brain and to get the point of view of someone who has been singing and involved in music for most of their lives.  I really enjoyed getting to know what Cossette thought of the topic and how her musical background affected here thinking.  So of her answers were things I would have never thought of.  Overall, I think music usually has a positive affect on the brain and I now have a higher understanding of how other people see and hear music.

    I think you guys did a great job! There were so many points and it definitely gave me a lot of insight on the topic. I have to agree with you guys that different genres make you react differently and on a deeper note. Overall this was very well done!

Developmental Psychology

        The question of Nature-Nurture can bring up a complex discussion when it comes to making points and having to prove why your "belief" is correct. It all depends on the topic and how passionate you feel about the debate between the two. Although there are good reasons to Nature or Nurture, they both could possibly be correct, there is no right or wrong answer. Three topics that really stir up a conversation would be studying aggressiveness in dogs, adoption study, and twin studies.         The nature-nurture is a debate within psychology concerning particular aspects of behavior are a reason for either inherited or acquired characteristics. Nature - genetic inheritance and biological factors         Example : Hair, height, color of eyes and certain diseases Nurture - the product of exposure, experience and learning of an individual            Example : P...

        Sigmund Freud founded what today is known as the psychodynamic approach to understanding personality.  Psychodynamic approach is one of the most important approaches to psychological therapy.  Freud is well known because of his work, it has made a big impact on our everyday thinking about psychology.  Many of his ideas have turned out to be at least a bit incorrect, and his theories have influenced other psychologist.  There are six ideas that we will be covering in the upcoming paragraphs. The six ideas of Freud's Theory were: The Case of Anna O The Unconscious Mind The Psyche Id Ego Superego Defense Mechanisms Repression Denial Projection Displacement Regression Sublimation Psychosexual Stages Dream Analysis Impression on one of the theories from Freud:         My impression of Freud's Theory was that I could relate to it and agree to some terms.  I can see how my life decision...

While I was in High School, I was on the track team and I ran sprints and relay events. If it wasn't for the track coach recruiting me, I would've never been able to learn about how great this school is! Hardin-Simmons has led me to grow spirit...
