Chimps beat humans in memory test

Restatement sumarry

Three pairs of mother and baby chimpanzees and university students were tested in memory tests which were made-up by Japanese scientists.
Before tests chimps had already been taught to "count" from one to nine. During the experiment, each subject was asked to look into the monitor in which numbers were shown for a short time and when the numbers were replaced with blank squares, touch them in appropriate order.Scientists found that young chimps showed better results than their mothers and university students.
Dr Liza Pair said that this happened because of our increasing reliance on language-based memory skills.

Meditation

I have to confess that about meditation I know nothing, just that it is a form of relaxation. And also, when someone tell word meditation I imagine a person sitting cross-legged and saying "aaammmm".
But I thought that it is not enough to write one paragraph about meditation so I decided to find some information in the Internet. And I  found one interesting page. I want to share it with you http://www.learningmeditation.com/ (2007-11-26)
Now I know that there are different ways of meditation and it is enough to spend a few moments of relaxing if you do it in correct way.
I think meditation is useful in our fast-moving world because of its help we can relax and find some time for ourselves.

I have a friend.

Sometimes in our lives come strange persons who refresh our boring world.

It happened in 8 class when on September 1st came new classmates. One of them was Toma. From the first look nothing special, but now I know that I was wrong.
We started meeting after school, do a lot of things together.

“Toma, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, and you?”
“Me too. I am coming.”
“Ok”
And after 15 minutes I had been sitting in her home, talking with her, eating sweets and drinking tea.
Always when I wanted advice I called her and we together decided what to do. And now I am doing the same. It is good to know that there is a person who cans always advice even in the late night time.

And now after 6 years we are the same best friends though we live in different cities. But we talk in the Internet, we call each other and when we meet we have a lot what to talk about.

I have a friend. Her name is Toma. She influences me.
This influence rises from respect.

Phobias

When I am in higher places (it is enough to look down from third floor window for me) inside I 
start to feel fear. Fear of heights. It is called acrophobia .
Because of this task I started to wonder about acrophobia and now I know that it is one of the most natural fear human beings can have. But it does not help me when I am in higher place. When I am feeling this fear I do not want to be alone and I need that someone support me, maybe take my hand and say "Everything will be Ok, don't be afraid".
And also acrophobia often goes hand in hand with other phobia, a fear of flying. And it is true. I have this one too. So when I am in the plane my sister often takes my hand and then I feel relaxed. I often try to sleep when I am flying. And it helps.
I think, everyone has its own phobias and try to cope with them in defferent (for them more suitable) ways.

Psychology of colors

This text will be about my favorite colors.
The most beautiful color is blue. This color is of the sky and the ocean - of two most perfect things in the world. This color is peaceful, but sometimes it can be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Isn't it a wonderful colour?
Also, it would be insane not to mention black color - color of authority and power. Everyone loves black in clothes because it perfect fits with other colors and with black you look thinner.
Well, as you can notice I like to wear silver rings. So I can say it is also one of my favorite colors. Silver is the color of the moon, which is ever changing. It balances and harmonizes
So now you know what my fovorite colors are.

Social Psychology

Now I think it is time to write which subfield I would like to choose in the near future. I guess I want to study Social psychology(social psychology is the study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and actions are affected by others).
There are not any people who have not thought about other persons feelings or wanted to understand their thoughts. So yes I am curious.
Well, thinking about advantages of this subfield, one answer is always on my mind. I will be able to find out more about persons thoughts and actions. This information will help me to understand, to cooperate with a lot of people.
However, this might be tiring. When you hear a lot of bad stories, you also can start feeling bad.
Working as a psychologist you must know when you have to stop.

Why I Choose Psychology

Once when I was late coming back home because of my friends my father told me that I did not know people, I did not see their bad characteristic. I was resent.

***

And the big day came when I had to do the list who I want to be. And I decided to be psychologist because I wanted to know people characteristic. My mother was very happy because of my decision, but everyone else was telling me that I could not find a job. But my decision was made and now I am studying in Mykolas Romeris University and everyone is proud of me, so do I.
And if my studies are good, I will be able to help people to cope with their problems. And I will see peoples' good and bad characteristic.

And for all I am thankful for my father even if I do not tell him that.
