January 22: Motivation, Maslow, Hunger

Class Activities:

1) Neuron Note/Psych News. You read last time's responses and you write a new question. For 2B, Jeremy presented an article on new research of caffeine and prenatal development.

2) Discovering Psychology: Motivation/Emotions. Don't you love Philip Zimbaro? We watched this 30 minute summary of the unit and took notes.

3) Notes on Maslow and More. I also introduced Glasser's Needs.

4) Alive. We watched 12 minutes of the movie "Alive" based on the true story of the 1972 plane crash survivors who had to resort to cannibalism in order to survive.

5) Hunger. WOW...our motivation to eat is huge! We went through the ways that signal our hunger motivation and I shared information about body image issues and eating disorders.

Assignments:

1) Read chapter 13 pp. 481-498

2) Maslow Assignment. Over the weekend, record events in your life that fulfill each level of Maslow's Hierarchy and whether or not you think you have achieved this level.
