The clinical specialty of neuropsychology bridges interest in the biological functioning of neural cells in the brain, spinal cord, and body with the study of psychological disorders. The neuropsychologist uses objective, scientific techniques to link behaviors to underlying normal and abnormal biological (i.e., brain) processes. The clinical neuropsychologist studies patterns of abnormal behavior to infer the biological abnormalities that might be producing or contributing to those behaviors.
Traditionally defined, neuropsychology is the study of (and the assessment, understanding, and modification of) brain-behavior relationships. Neuropsychology seeks to understand how the brain, through structure and neural networks, produces and controls behavior and mental processes, including emotions, personality, thinking, learning and remembering, problem solving, and consciousness. The field is also concerned with how behavior may influence the brain and related physiological processes, as in the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology (the study that seeks to understand the complex interactions between brain and immune systems, and the implications for physical health).
Neuropsychology seeks to gain knowledge about brain and behavior relationships through the study of both healthy and damaged brain systems. It seeks to identify the underlying biological causes of behaviors, from creative genius to mental illness, that account for intellectual processes and personality. Clinical neuropsychology seeks such understanding, particularly, in the case of how damaged or diseased brain structures alter behaviors and interfere with mental and cognitive functions.
The neuropsychologist uses objective tools--neuropsychological tests--to tie the biological and behavioral aspects together. Through the use of tests, the clinical neuropsychologist is able to differentiate whether or not a behavioral abnormality is more likely caused by a biological abnormality in the brain or by an emotional or learned process.
what do the test entail? and how do you define the results? -Julianna DeNicola 5/28/09 11:27 AM
If we presume that the brain is the starting point for why and how we process all mental information (not just cognitive, but interpersonal communications, self-concept, emotional reactivity, personality, learned responses, etc.), then in some aspect, all psychology is neuropsychology. Neurolinguistics, for example, is the study of how language shapes our self-concepts and our interpersonal communications. Neurodevelopmental psychology is the study of how behavioral and mental characteristics change with nervous system growth. Even psychological concepts of dreaming (and dream content), level of attention, and conscious experience are subserved by brain processes.
is this becaues or brains mature?how? -Julianna DeNicola 5/28/09 11:33 AM
Neuropsychology is a structured, objective, and scientific discipline for peeking into individual brains by way of formally observing behaviors. Clinical neuropsychology seeks, ultimately, to understand the individual mind and brain (and its normal as well as errant behaviors). The discipline uses experimental and objective procedures to compare performance among persons with known differences in their biological brain structures (within the limited criteria currently available for defining these differences), and to search for the myriad sources of brain variance that produce individual differences in behavior. These sources include biological factors (e.g., genetic, diseases, and injuries) as well as psychological factors (e.g., learned behaviors and personality) and social factors (e.g., economics, family structure, and cultural values).
In the application of clinical neuropsychology, understanding the biological sources of individual differences, particularly, helps identify brain-based disorders in memory, personality, self-awareness (conscious experience),cognition, and emotional expression.
I get the concept but how do they conduct these tests? -Julianna DeNicola 5/28/09 11:43 AMWorking backwards, then, from a look at abnormal behavior obtained using formal tests, reasonable inferences about brain disorders can be reached. Understanding these neurofunctional changes (i.e., abnormalities) as a result of brain changes (i.e., injury) defines parameters for current and future behavioral expectations in the lifestyle of the individual. Combined with additional understanding of biopsychosocial factors that coalesce into behavioral expression, the neuropsychologist can gain a comprehensive impression of what is normal or abnormal behavior. As our knowledge of recovery from brain injury improves, such understanding provides realistic expectations for remediation (restoration or adjustment) of disordered behavior.
Neuropsychological understanding is achieved through a comprehensive exploration of the neurophysiological foundation of behavior and seemingly infinite potential contributing factors. Everyone’s brain is wired differently, a product of native biological structure, past experiences, physical health, learned responses and personality, injuries and diseases, and a host of other factors. Clinically, it is the role of the neuropsychologist to sort out the factors that influence how the brain is working in order to understand disease expression, progress, and recovery.

Ideal Day (Positive Pschology)
If I had an ideal day it would start with my best friend and i waking up and having Belgium waffles with strawberries and whip cream, bacon, fruit salad and cranberry juice out on the patio. The sun would be shining with a light breeze. After breakfast we would take our showers get on our bathing suits put tanning lotion or sun block and go out on the beach and play a game of volley ball. We would then go jump in the lake and swim for a bit. After swimming we would go lay out on the beach and sip on smoothies while tanning.
Around 12:30 all of our friends and cousins our age would come to the beach house and we would have a big cook out with watermelon, steak, hamburgers, hot dogs, kielbasa potato salad, deviled eggs,ice cream lemon squares anything you can imagine at a cook out. We would have this big tent with chairs and tables set up, music would be in the background everyone joking around and having a good time. After lunch we would all play games have a water balloon and squirt gun fight. At the beach there's a party boat and another boat to go tubing and water skiing on. There are also jet skis we would all hop on and go tubing and chill out on the middle of the lake. While were all having fun we have hired a company to decorate the beach into a beautiful paradise with a meal from Italy and France. After we come out from the lake we all go get ready take showers, get ready in our sun dresses boys in cargo shorts with polos or button ups. The tables have flowers lights and tool. Everyone has seating cards, the waiters serve us our courses with a sparkling cider. When dinner and dessert is done we go onto the lowly light dance floor and dance the night away and when everyone has left for the night my best friends and I go back into the beach house sit around the fireplace with our hot coco and talk about the evening until we all fall asleep.
This would just about be the perfect day spending time with my friends and if we have them our significant others.

Neuropsychology
First you tube video
I really liked the mirror box and when his patients did this their "phantom" limb experienced relief. The whole kiki and baba experiment, I thought the opposite of everyone else.
Second youtube video
Okay, I think this is really really cool. I love that we have technology that allows us to control our pain and other emotions by looking at our brains. I really wanted to do this with my psychology class.

Multiple Intelligence
I have multiple intelligences. I'm a visual and musical person, and my test results that i took on multiple intelligences showed that i was more prominent in kinetic and interpersonal areas.Nokomis has helped me some for example in the music program they show you your music and you have your instrument in your hands being taught. In my math class we take notes and have example problems to help us with. In other classes I have not been so lucky. In some of my classes I just sit listening to my teacher lecture to us all period. With a small assignment, for me its hard to both pay attention and retain the information.

Article Review #4
This Article was about colors and how they can change your moods and effect healing. Different colors are supposed to make you feel different and can possibly cure certain sicknesses. For example reds represent warm colors and are supposed to stimulate your mind and body. Blue is supposed to reduce pain and heal the lungs while heightening energy levels.
This is related to the field of psychology because the way you perceive and act to color is apart of the brain. Here's an example say I wake up and I'm in a bad mood so I decide to wear black well i'm still in a bad mood so I listen to sad songs. If this became a habbit a psychologist may tell me to chanfge the black shirt i'm wearing to an orange shirt and instead of listeing to sad songs listen to happy songs. By changing little things in your life it can change your moods and the way you look at life.

Article Review #3
This article is about Hypnosis and how it has been used to decrease pain during childbirth and chronic pains. It also can help reduce nausea for cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. People who are most likely to be hypnotised are children and people who indulge themselves in their dreams. During hypnosis your brain divides into two different consciousness. One of the brain's activities is responding to the hypnosis while the other is aware of everything else going on.
The article also talks about some of the common myths you hear about hypnosis. For example: while being hypnotized your hypnotizer can make you do what they please. This is false you have total control over your body. Another common myth is that you don't remember what happened while you were hypnotized. This is false sometimes amnesia can occur but it's not often. Being hypnotized can effect different people in different ways some people in the experiment done by Ernest Hilgard said they felt detached or very relaxed while other people can have full conversations while being hypnotized. In Ernest Hilgards experiment showed that being hypnotized can alter your perception. Ernest showed this by taking two people, one of them was hypnotized and the other not. Ernest placed both people arms in iced water, the person who wasn't hypnotized had to take their arm out of the water after a couple of seconds while the hypnotized contestant could leave their arm in the water for a longer period of time.
I think that it would be a good idea for psychologist to keep studding hypnosis because it can help with pain and sickness. If psychologists keep studding the brain and try and figure out how to use hypnosis in reducing pain maybe doctors can use less medicine in our daily lives.

Project little bro
So I have chosen one of my brothers heads to mess with, Don't worry my mom said it was ok. 3 out of the 4 memories will be real and one will be fake. All I have to do is get him to believe the fake one is one of the real ones.
The First memory is the following: When you were little mom was at the changing table changing you diaper. Julianna was standing at the end waiting patiently, mom said don't stand there because you never know what little boys might do. Sometimes they pee and as she said that you peed and made a fountain that squirted on Julianna's shirt.
Second Memory: When you were about Four there we lived on a dirt road and outside of our house was a big mud hole. Mom told us we could go outside and play it was muddy so we all had our boots on and were having a good ole time. While we were all playing Julianna was in the road playing in the mud and she called you over. Julianna told you to step in the hole and you did because she told you to shove your foot in there really good and stuck, you got stuck and started to cry. You asked Julianna to help you but she wouldn't because she was too busy laughing. It wasn't until two cars were coming from both directions of the road that Julianna went and got help.
Third Memory: When you were little the family went to a restaurant with Grammy Gloria. We all ordered our drinks, mom ordered you milk well we were all drinking our drinks and you weren't. Mom and Dad made you drink the milk, you were crying so Grammy said maybe something was wrong with it. Sure enough the milk was chunky and sour and later that day you puked... everywhere.
Fourth Memory: When you were a toddler you were in Grammy Becky's arms, you were really wiggly and jumped our of her arms and lost your two front teeth. Mom was so angry and sad that she cried for days because her poor baby's teeth were missing.

My Day
Today I woke up about 6:10 took a shower and got ready for school. I had left my house at about 6:45 to be at school at 7. I was late. After Jazz band which I wanted to leave so desperately so I could actually do this test thing among other class work. Homeroom came and we were talking about our parents and lectures and how we wish they wouldn't do it cause we tune them out after 5 minutes anyway. First period was honors English 11 which was good today, we had IRP and then we talked about some stuff i can't remember but i know that i have to read a story. Second period was math and that class dragged.... forever. I don't have much to say it's not the teacher its the subject.
11:15 Lunch i had a tuna sandwich and chocolate pudding with water. Yummy although they don't really go together; chocolate and tuna what a combo. During lunch our table reminiscing about the childhood sweets we loved ex: pops, baby bottle pops, and push pops. After lunch i went to Jazz chorus, T was sick but came in for our class he was basically dead and so wasn't everyone else. I wanted my own bubble to hid in so i wouldn't get sick. The period ended and i was supposed to go to french 111 but my project due tomorrow for film and lit needed to be done, Glidden wasn't doing anything but making us do stuff for his conference, so he let me stay. Bronson helped me edit and I got that done and the transitions done.
Then after school Mr.Middleswart help me with the music and final touches. Too bad my group wasn't there to help. I worked till 4 and then i came home and watched the doctors, which was good bye the way. After my little break I ate diner and cleaned the stove cause i didn't watch the potato's and they spilled over, my mom said if i didn't clean it and the stove broke i would have to pay for it so i did it. after diner i called Alex to figure out how we were going to do the project for Mr.Viles class tomorrow. We are so confused we have the summary part but that's it. I know Mr.Viles doesn't check his e-mail at home so hopefully he will help Alex and i before we present. My sisters were dieing to watch their basketball slide show so i poped it on the computer and we watched it quickly took pictures of our belly buttons and now i'm writing about my day so i can do the next part.

Article Review #2
This Article talks about why we dream, Frued says dreams are representation of our hidden feelings, emotions and desires. Freud also says that we're driven by ual instincts and if they're not expressed during our consciousness that we will find them in our dreams. J. Allen Hobson and Robert McClarley has a theory called the activation synthesis of dreaming and he says that during our REM sleep our limbic system which includes our memories, emotions and memories become active, while all of this activity is going on the brain is trying to define what they mean hence dreaming. Hobson thinks that we are most creative when we dream. Our dreams combine chaos cognitive elements and spontaneous side of us.
This article relates to psychology because it talks about cognitive psychology and Freud and his theory of what dreams mean.

Article Review # 1
The article I read about was called "Tapping the Power Within" by Hara Estroff Marano, This article talks about finding our authentic power. The author explains authentic power as how we govern ourselves being able to do different things such as over come our fears and be able to express ourselves while avoiding conflict. Authentic power is not something that your born with and once you have it it doesn't just stay with you, you have to work hard to maintain that power. The author states that you don't just establish authentic power you usually gain it by life experiences and that if your willing to open yourself up to the world and it's opportunities then you will keep your authentic power.
I think that this article relates to psychology because power is in your mind and the way you think and how much power and how you use it deals with your mind. I don't really know what to think about this article but I do agree with the author that you gain will power through life experiences and if you don't live your life and open your self up to the world and the people around you that the will power will go away and you'll be defenseless.
