Module 7: Reflection
-
It amazes me that at one point in time people did not believe that animals had an internal map of their environment.
I think it amazed me because as a child I learned about how sea turtles return back to their place of birth.
It must be very annoying when you the doctor can't figure out what is wrong with you. It reminds me of a story I read in the news. A woman gained weight rapidly and she felt like something was wrong. The doctors just called her fat. But, eventually they realized she had a cyst.

When the doctor wasn't sure whether the man could see the faces or was identifying the cards by the patterns, it reminded me of school. I remember when we first started learning how to multiply in school, my friends told me they memorized the multiplication table. I on the other hand didn't just memorize it, but I tried to understand it. My parents wouldn't let me just memorize.
Sometimes I feel like as students, we too, just memorize.

The beginning portion of the text mentioned how GPS systems have developed our way of navigating. This reminded me of something I used to believe as a child. I used to think that our cars knew exactly where we were going. I thought that the turn signals came on because the car was giving us directions to our destination. When I was a kid, I remember telling the car to take us to Disney World, but then I would be disappointed when we didn't end up there. Eventually, I grew up and I found out the truth. In other words, my brain developed and so did my beliefs.
Technology has come a long way. It has allowed us to gather the information necessary to prove our theories.

I feel like our senses help us build this internal map. I remember places better if I associate them with beautiful scenery.
The story about the man who mistook his wife for a hat reminded me of my great-grandmother. It was very disheartening when many of her motor functions began to wither. I remember seeing my dad cry with each memory that began to slip her mind.

“No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.”
I remember watching a comedy show where the character was unable to recognize faces. In the show it was funny, but in the reading, it seemed quite sad.
