2. También se considera filósofo a quien puede llegar a conocimientos difíciles que requieren superar grandes dificultades.
3. Se considera más filósofo a quien tiene nociones más rigurosas de las causas y enseña mejor estas nociones, especialmente en las ciencias que se estudian por sí mismas y no por sus aplicaciones.
Seguridad física de los sistemas informáticosHumberto Baca
Este documento trata sobre la seguridad física de los sistemas informáticos. Explica que la seguridad física incluye mecanismos para proteger recursos como teclados, CPUs y cintas de backup. También discute que si alguien tiene acceso físico al sistema, otras medidas de seguridad son inútiles y ataques como robar datos son triviales. Finalmente, enfatiza la importancia de establecer políticas adecuadas de copias de seguridad y proteger físicamente los medios donde residen las copias.

La cordillera alberga diversa fauna como el jaguar, el quetzal y la danta, y poblaciones indígenas predominan en la región. Dentro de la cordillera se encuentra también la reserva biológica La Amistad.
La carga eléctrica es una propiedad fundamental de las partículas subatómicas que se manifiesta a través de fuerzas de atracción y repulsión. Existen dos tipos de carga, positiva y negativa. La carga eléctrica elemental es la carga de un electrón y cualquier otra carga puede expresarse como un múltiplo entero de esta. Aunque no se comprende completamente por qué la carga es cuantizada, teorías como la de Dirac y Klein-Kaluza sugieren que esto se debe a la existencia de monopolos magnéticos

The document contains Frank Morley's observations and analogies related to psychological concepts. It includes 18 paragraphs where Morley draws comparisons between everyday objects, experiences and situations to concepts like double blind studies, autonomic nervous system, schemas, sensory thresholds, classical conditioning, and more. Each paragraph aims to demonstrate understanding of psychology topics through everyday examples and observations.
Chapter nine ctps report on the book Brain RulesHikmot Salako
The chapter describes how the brain integrates information from different senses to form perceptions. It discusses the processes of sensation, routing sensory information to different brain regions, and perception where information is integrated. The author provides examples of how vision, hearing, and other senses combine in the brain. For instance, the McGurk effect shows how what we see influences what we hear. The chapter also explores topics like synesthesia, bottom-up and top-down processing, and how the brain reconstructs information to form coherent perceptions. The author concludes by discussing opportunities to apply learnings about sensory integration to education.

The document discusses Clotaire Rapaille's theory of the "Culture Code" and the process of conducting "imprinting sessions" to uncover unconscious cultural meanings. Rapaille believes cultures unconsciously assign meanings to things in different ways. His imprinting sessions use focus groups to move through phases aimed at accessing the unconscious "limbic" level of cultural imprinting, using storytelling, collages, and memory exercises while analyzing verb usage. The goal is to understand the "reptilian" survival instincts and emotionally charged reactions that form cultural codes and motivate behavior.
The document discusses several ways in which human senses are imperfect, including having a limited range of detection compared to other species, imperfect color vision from color blindness, and susceptibility to misinterpreting senses due to context clues and top-down processing. It also explains bottom-up processing of individual stimuli versus top-down processing using prior knowledge and context, and principles of Gestalt psychology for organizing visual information.

This document is a guide to exploring your visual blind spot through simple experiments. It explains that we each have a blind spot in each eye where the optic nerve exits the retina, resulting in an area without photoreceptors. The guide instructs you to find your blind spot by focusing on one object while another disappears. It discusses how the mind actively "fills in" the blind spot rather than leaving a void, and considers debates around whether this is true filling in or visual neglect.
This document is a guide to exploring your visual blind spot through simple experiments. It explains that we each have a blind spot in each eye where the optic nerve exits the retina, resulting in an absence of photoreceptors. Normally our minds compensate by "filling in" the blind spot, hiding its existence from our conscious awareness. The guide instructs how to find your blind spot using a drawn cross and dot, and discusses how the mind actively fills in the blind spot rather than just ignoring it. It explores the complexity of the filling in process and how attention and inattention factor in.
The document discusses the human memory model and how memory works. It explains that memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. There are different types of memory like short term and long term memory. Factors like repetition and using tricks to remember information like acronyms can help strengthen memory. Memory can be impaired by conditions like Alzheimer's, amnesia, or head injuries. Overall, human memory is complex and involves taking in information, storing it, and recalling it, though there are still many unknowns about what influences some people's abilities to remember more than others.

Overall, human memory is complex and involves taking in information, storing it, and recalling it, though there are still many unknowns about what influences some people's abilities to remember more than others.
The document discusses how the amygdala and frontal lobes of the brain work together. It states that the amygdala can trigger fear and anger responses if not regulated, while the frontal lobes are responsible for higher thinking like empathy and creativity. It describes how meditation can strengthen activity in the frontal lobes and discusses a technique where one imagines sweeping "stardust" from the amygdala into the frontal lobes in order to shift one's state of mind from fear to bliss.
The document provides examples of various psychological concepts through pictures with descriptions. It includes examples of basic research, applied research, naturalistic observation, case studies, and various biological systems like the sympathetic nervous system. It also includes examples of concepts like change blindness, dissociation, schemas, object permanence, thresholds, priming, processing styles, sensory systems, learning theories, intelligence testing, reliability and validity, motivation, homeostasis, emotion theories, types of personalities, social influences, and components of personality.
This document contains summaries of 14 chapters covering topics in psychology. Each chapter includes photos taken by the author with captions explaining how the photo relates to a psychological concept discussed in that chapter. The photos and captions provide examples to illustrate structuralism, functionalism, applied research, naturalistic observation, concepts related to neuroscience, sleep, memory, intelligence testing, motivation, emotion, personality, and psychological assessments.
The document discusses different states of consciousness including waking consciousness and sleep. It describes how waking consciousness involves selective attention and can involve inattentional and change blindness. It discusses the circadian rhythm and how biological clocks influence sleep cycles, which go through different sleep stages over 90 minute periods, including REM sleep. Sleep is hypothesized to protect organisms from harm and allow the body and brain to recuperate. Sleep deprivation can impair functioning and increase health risks.
This document provides an introduction to the psychology of seeing and perception. It discusses how the eye and brain work together to transform retinal images into perceptions of three-dimensional objects in the world. While the eye functions somewhat like a camera, the brain's role in perception goes far beyond merely processing images. The brain actively organizes sensory data to perceive objects, even when stimuli are ambiguous. It draws on past experiences and knowledge to interpret patterns of light. Understanding these perceptual processes can explain visual illusions and how the same retinal image can result in different perceptions of objects and their positions in space.
The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain and is made up of gray matter. It is divided into two hemispheres and five lobes (occipital, parietal, temporal, frontal) that each have distinct functions like vision, touch, language, movement. The cerebral cortex is larger and more folded in humans compared to other animals. It is made up of layers and columns of cells involved in precise activities like responding to light or touch.
This document provides 15 activities for brain stimulation and the science behind why each activity is beneficial. Some of the activities include going to a museum tour and writing a synopsis, listening to song lyrics and memorizing them, doing puzzles, learning a new language, and practicing a musical instrument. The activities help engage different areas of the brain through focus, memory, problem-solving and learning. They can help improve functions like attention, memory retrieval, and mental processing speed. Regular brain stimulation from such activities may help protect against cognitive decline.
This document discusses how magicians are able to fool audiences through exploiting human perception and cognitive biases. It explains that magicians are able to direct attention away from crucial moments through misdirection, illusion, and exploiting principles of perception like continuity and expectancy. The document also discusses how culture and past experiences shape individual frames of reference that influence perception. Magicians are able to manipulate these frames to make impossible feats seem possible.
3. Structuralism
Structuralism is an early
school of psychology
that uses introspection.
Introspection is
“looking inward” into
the soul, and in the
photo I am looking
inward to look at the
structure of my house.
5. Naturalistic
Observation
Bandit enjoys sitting on
the porch, watching
people walk by. Bandit
is observing walkers in
their natural
environment without
interfering with how
they behave.
Walkers
6. Case Study
Case studies are a
research method used
in one-of-a-kind cases.
This glass chicken is
one-of-a-kind, as the
box it came in
described that no two
are exactly alike.
8. Axon
An axon is a channel
that sends electrical
currents to send a
message. This person
is the action potential
that travels down the
axon and the brick
walls are the axon.
9. Myelin Sheath
The myelin sheath
surrounds an axon to
speed up neural
impulses by letting the
impulse bounce across
the axon. While
jumping on a pogo
stick, you can bounce
across the driveway
without having to step
on every part of it.
13. Cerebellum
The cerebellum is the
part of the brain that
coordinates balance.
When riding a bike, the
cerebellum maintains
balance so you don’t
fall off the bike.
14. Amygdala
The amygdala is the
part of the brain that
controls fear. I hate
bugs, especially
ants, but my house is
currently infested with
an ant population.
Whenever I see one I
get afraid, making my
amygdala active.
15. Corpus Callosum
The cream in this
cookie connects the
two halves of the Oreo.
The corpus callosum
connects the two
halves of the brain.
16. Plasticity
Plasticity is the ability
of the brain to regrow
pathways after
damage. When leaves
die in the winter (like
brain damage), new
flowers grow in the
spring (new pathways).
18. Delta Waves
Delta waves are slow
waves that occur
during deep sleep.
When the wind is
calm, the water in the
pool cover has
large, slow waves in it.
19. Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is the
inability to fall/stay
asleep. Bandit has
trouble staying asleep
because he wakes up
and looks around
whenever he hears a
noise.
20. Latent Dream
Content
Latent dream content
is the underlying
meaning of a dream. In
my room, the floor is
hidden from sight
because it lays under
piles of clothes. It
remains hidden, but is
still the base of the
room (like latent
dream content is the
base of the dream).
21. Dissociation
Dissociation is the
ability of the mind to
have a split in
conscious, to think
about two things at
once. This tree is split
shows that there is one
base (like the mind)
that can have multiple
branches with different
leaves growing
(different thoughts).
23. Teratogens
Teratogens are harmful
agents that can harm a
baby in the womb.
Weeds are harmful to
the other plants
growing around
them, as the weeds can
take the nutrients that
the other plants need
for proper
development.
24. Sensorimotor
Stage
The sensorimotor stage
is a stage of
development for babies
in which babies take in
the world around them
by their movements. In
soccer, the players
must be constantly
thinking of the players
around them, and focus
on their body
movements to make a
good play.
25. Theory of Mind
A theory of mind
enables you to
understand that others
are not thinking the
same thing as you.
When playing chess, it
is important to use a
theory of mind to think
of what your
opponent’s next move
will be.
26. Imprinting
Imprinting occurs in
birds, when, after they
hatch, they will follow
the first thing they see.
Bandit’s shadow
follows him around
wherever he goes, like
birds will follow what
they imprint on.
30. Difference
Threshold
A difference threshold
is the amount of
change needed for a
difference to be
detected. In the
dimmer of the light, the
level of light was
changed enough for it
to be perceived.
31. Transduction
Transduction is the
changing of one form
of energy into another.
When making
pancakes, the batter is
changed into a
different form by
becoming a fluffy
pancake.
33. Accomodation
Accomodation is
changing the shape of
the lens to focus on
what you are looking
at. When putting on a
sock, the shape of it
changes to perfectly fit
your foot.
34. Cones
Cones are the
structures in the eye
that function in
daylight and capture
color. These sun
catchers only function
in the daylight, as they
need sun in order to
stream light into the
house. Also, cones
process the striking
blue and yellow colors.
35. Place Theory
The place theory states
that the pitch
perceived depends on
where the sound wave
hits the cochlea. When
playing the piccolo, the
keys that are pressed
likewise determine the
pitch of the note.
36. Kinesthesis
Kinesthesis is the ability
to sense body position
and movement.
Weathervanes similarly
show when it is windy
and the position that
the wind is blowing.
38. Classical
Conditioning
Classical conditioning is
a type of learning in
which one learns how
two stimuli are linked.
Bandit has been
classically conditioned
to learn that the ringing
of the doorbell means
that a visitor is here.
39. Discrimination
Discrimination is a type
of classical conditioning
in which to stimuli are
not linked. Both items
are toys, but
discrimination has
occurred when it is
learned that the orange
toy squeaks and the
football does not.
43. Fixed-Ratio
Schedule
In this
schedule, reinforcemen
t occurs after you
complete a set number
of responses. When
doing math
homework, you can be
reinforced (the
satisfaction of being
done) only when
completing the
assigned problems.
48. Proactive
Interference
In proactive
interference, old
information blocks you
from remembering new
information. When you
get a new schedule at
the beginning of the
school year, it may be
difficult to remember
because last year’s
schedule sticks out in
your head.
49. Hippocampus
The hippocampus is the
part of the brain that
puts memory into its
proper place of
storage. Fine
cabinets, like the
hippocampus, put
papers into their
proper folders and
locations where they
can remain long-term.
50. Implicit Memory
An implicit memory is a
memory that does not
need conscious
awareness to do. It is
usually a well-learned
task, such as writing.
When you are
writing, you do not
need to consciously
remember how to do it.
51. Chunking
Chunking is a memory
aid that puts
information into
meaningful groups.
When learning a phone
number, it is easier to
remember the number
if it spells out a
meaningful word rather
than random digits.
53. g
The g factor is an
underlying factor of
intelligence that all
intelligence is based on.
The insulation of a
house, like the g
factor, underlies the
entire house and is the
base of how the house
stands.
54. Factor Analysis
Factor analysis is a way
of organizing
information into
clusters on tests. On a
computer, documents
of varying subjects can
be placed together into
similar groups, like
factor analysis
combines questions
based on their subjects
and similarities..
55. Savant
Syndrome
Savant syndrome is
when a person of
limited mental ability
has one area that
stands out. In this
bouquet, all the flowers
are normal. The one
yellow flower stands
out, like the talent of a
person with this
syndrome.
56. Gardner
Gardner came up with
the theory of multiple
intelligences, 8 total.
An octave on a piano
also has 8 keys; the
octave is the
intelligence, and the
keys are the subtypes.
One of the subtypes is
musical.
58. Standardization
Standardization is the
process of defining
scores based on a
pretested group’s
scores. When creating
a handicap for golf
(average number of
strokes in 18 holes), the
player must play
multiple rounds before
coming up with the
meaningful handicap
score.
59. Content Validity
Content validity is the
extent to which a test
covers all relevant
information. When
making a peanut butter
sandwich, you want to
make sure that it
covers the entire piece
of bread (the whole
range of the topic)
rather than only one
area (one specific topic
and not including the
rest).
60. Split-Half
Reliability
This reliability states
that the scores of two
halves of a test should
be consistent.
Likewise, if one eats
half a sleeve of thin
mints, the cookies
would be reliable if the
other half tastes just as
good.
61. Test-Retest
Reliability
This reliability ensures
that if a test is taken
multiple time by the
same person, it will
give consistent results.
Recipes have test-
retest reliability
if, every time the recipe
is made, the food
comes out the same.
64. Set Point
A person’s set point is
their normal weight. A
thermostat shows the
house’s standard
temperature. When
the house gets too
cold, the thermostat
will signal for the heat
to turn on.
Likewise, when weight
gets too low, the body
gets hungry.
65. Basal Metabolic
Rate
This is the rate that the
body uses energy when
at rest. An iPhone
charger uses a certain
amount of energy
when plugged in, but
not being used.
66. Optimal Arousal
Theory
This theory states that
we satisfy the need for
a certain level of
arousal by engaging in
fun activities. I reach
optimal arousal when I
create artwork.
68. James-Lange
TOE
This theory of emotion
states that
physiological arousal
causes emotion. When
playing piano, the
stimulus of pressing a
key creates the
hammer to move up
(physiological), which
causes a sound to come
out (response).
69. Cannon-Bard
TOE
This theory of emotion
states that a stimulus
causes physiological
arousal and emotion to
occur simultaneously.
In a water filter, the
stimulus of pressing for
water makes a light
turn on and water
come out
simultaneously.
70. Schachter’s Two-
Factor TOE
This theory states that
psysiological arousal
and a cognitive label
create emotion. When
about to race, sweating
and the label “I’m
about to race!” create
an emotion of
nervousness.
71. Facial Feedback
Facial feedback is the
ability of facial
expression to influence
emotion. This effect
can be seen in a two-in-
one bottle opener.
When the shape of the
opener is changed
(facial expression), it
can perform different
actions (emotions).
73. Adaptation-Level
Phenomenon
The adaptation-level
phenomenon states
that we perceive things
based off of something
neutral. Tap water has
a neutral
temperature, which we
are accustomed to.
The ice water seems
very cold because we
compare it to the
tap, and the boiling
water is extremely hoy
compared to the tap.
74. Relative
Deprivation
When we experiences
relative deprivation, we
perceive our situation
as being worse when
compared to others. I
thought my room was
pretty clean, until I saw
the guest bedroom
which made my room
look like a mess.
75. Type A
People with type A
personalities get
agitated very easily at
little things.
Similarly, smoke alarms
will be set off because
of small traces of
smoke, such as from
burnt cookies.
76. Type B
People with type B
personalities are very
relaxed. Bandit is very
calm and does not get
mad easily. He doesn’t
even mind being blow-
dried after baths
because he is very easy-
going.
78. Id
The id is the part of the
mind that wants
gratification, even if it
is dangerous. Junk
food can give us a lot of
gratification because it
tastes so good, but it is
not good for our
health.
79. Superego
The superego is the
part of the mind that
protects us with good
judgments. Fruit is
good for us, and will
avoid harm, like the
superego does.
80. External Locus of
Control
People with this locus
of control believe that
their lived are
controlled by outside
forces. iPhones have
an external locus of
control, because their
actions are controlled
by the user (an outside
force).
81. Internal Locus of
Control
People with this locus
of control believe that
they control their own
actions and fates.
Driving a car
demonstrates
this, because your
actions determine what
way the car will move.
