Document Summary
Psy100h1 - lecture 17 - social psychology (cont. ) Emotional feedback largely shapes how a child grows up. Children experience bad or lack of feedback. Genie never developed typical neurobiology due to the type of feedback that she received (young girl, age 13) She could barely talk, since she was barely talked to as a child. Her childhood consisted of being chained and trapped to a toilet. Her only words were stop, no more . Spent 10 years without normal human contact. The feedback she received was unidimensional and often times negative. In general, feedback is either positive or neutral. But, the few negative feedbacks that we receive have high impacts on our lives. Thus, this creates two different implicit programming (aka bifurcated relationship with ourselves) There is a separation between the parts of ourselves that we like and the other parts that we don"t. So, some parts of ourselves are given lack of or negative attention.
