For the zaps, one of the lab that I’ve first started with “Narcissism.” Narcissism was expressed as to self-loving oneself also could mean being egoistic. Although it can be assumed to be a personality disorder, but it should be diagnosed by professionals rather than diagnosing one’s self. Evident of being a narcissist can be hard to see to begin with due to charm in first glance, but once you get to know someone who is a narcissist then it becomes obvious due to their self-center acts as well as being quite aggressive if others think otherwise, saying that the person is wrong, of them.

In the lab, I am shown a list of twelve words for five trials each and I record as many words that I recall. The pattern of the effect is that the list of words given to me could be related to one thing therefore I would put down such a pillow and bed would be in the list of items, but I put blanket as to being similar to being on a bed.
