Hi, I’m Ross, I like neuroscience and this is my blog. I have always had
a fascination with the human brain and after taking Bio Bases of Behavior, I
changed my major to Neuroscience. I particularly like neuroscience as a field
because as new technology becomes available, we are able to make many
meaningful breakthroughs related to the science of the human brain.
As a neuro major, this class fulfills an elective requirement and
perfectly fits my schedule (I don’t like morning classes). I have taken a few
courses that give me a background in neuroscience as well as social psychology
and this class seems to be the perfect intersection of the two. In this course,
I hope to find out more about the neural biology that gives rise to our
complicated social behavior.
One of my favorite social psychology experiments, which studies how long
four-year-olds can delay gratification of eating one marshmallow to eat two
at a later time and relates their resistance time to future success, can be
seen below. Thanks for reading!
