Psychology Rap by

Schuyler Kruizenga

Well the year is almost done
So let us recap
About this course which is fun
With a psychology rap!

Being in Pitzer as a student from CMC
My thoughts about this class was one big mystery

On the first day we get books by Hoch, Bernstein and Nash
Man! Am I gonna have to read all this trash?
Writings on Thursday?
And on Tuesdays a test?
I can’t believe this class ended up being the best!

So I come to Broad Hall twice a weak
And I learned about the following, in rap speak

The amygdala lets you recognize objects by tactation
And the hippocampus lets you remember new information
When you cut the corpus collosum you get lateralization
Stopping the right and left brain from communication

In the eye there are cones that are better for during the day
And rods that let you see a star from far away

Sensory neurons let us feel heat
And kinesthesia lets us move our feet

We learned about operant conditioning
So we can be good at soliciting

Our work was assigned on a fixed interval
So you always knew when work was due
Pop-quizzes are of no issue

Bulimia is when you throw up your food
And anorexia means your not in an eating mood

Test your intelligence with and IQ test
Though you may find the validity is not the best
It was even less valid in the past
But the study of psychology is growing fast

There are many ways to cope with stress
One way we learned is with G.A.S.

In Milgram’s experiment very few people walked away
These results are still very shocking today

This is a taste of what I learned in Psych zero ten
If it were up to me I’d do it again
