1. In what ways is the “fight-or-flight response helpful to humans in emergency situations? 2. Much research is being conducted on repairing faulty sensory organs through devices such as personal guidance systems and eyeglasses, among others. Do you think that researchers should attempt to improve normal sensory capabilities beyond their “natural” range (for example make human visual or audio capabilities more sensitive than normal)? What problems might this cause? 3. Suppose that a new “miracle pill” will allow a person to function with only one hour of sleep per night. However, because a night’s sleep is so short, a person who takes the pill will never dream again. Knowing what you do about the functions of sleep and dreaming, what would be some of the advantages and drawbacks of such a pill from a personal standpoint? Would you take such a pill? 4. The relational style of learning sometimes conflicts with the traditional school environment. Could a school be created that takes advantage of the characteristics of the rational style? How? Are there types of learning for which the analytical style is clearly superior? 5. What study strategies can you think of that would make effective use of the levels-of-processing approach to memory? These are discussion. Answers need not be no more than a paragraph .

Please answer a total of 3 questions for this assignment. Select a question to answer for each of the sections below (Movement, Cycles and Rhythm, Visual System and Auditory System). 1. Movement, Cycles and Rhythms The control of movement is often divided into mechanisms of reflexes and of voluntary movement. What is a reflex? It is a stereotyped, automatic movement evoked by a specific stimulus. It is uniform across members of a species. Some examples in humans are the patellar or kneejerk reflex, the salivary reflex, the orienting reflex, and the pupillary reflex. In reviewing the reflex arc, pay special attention to proprioception, muscle spindles, the stretch reflex, and primary motor cortex. (Prof. Suzuki also discusses the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, but in another lecture that I have not assigned.) Further, let's think about the cycles in our behavior. They are ancient and varied. We certainly inherited them from species that evolved earlier than we did. We harbor a number of rhythms. Generally, we have cellular cycles that augment the day-night rhythm to regulate our behavioral cycles. There are possibly very long cycles that govern our evolution. Men and women both run on cycles, though with differences. But do our cycles still make biological sense? Questions ( answer one only ) 1) Can you point to any movements that do not involve reflexes--or some reflexes that do not involve movement? 2) Sleep is tied to recovery of normal function and memory formation. Why does it make sense, then, to stop for sleep just because the sun sets? Why not sleep just whenever we have a backlog of memories to form or we're under stress or sick? Does the wide variation in our daily experience require such an extreme regularity of sleep regulation? Since we don't learn or exercise the same amount each day, why do we nevertheless sleep the same amount? A number of possible answers are given in the first 10 minutes of this fascinating podcast but offer your own insights as well. 3) Furthermore, women show more pronounced cycles in sex hormones than men do, including menstrual cycles and a rather imprecise biological clock with a different origin. Is this an evolutionary leftover, no longer necessary or helpful for humans? Would you want the equivalent of a birth control pill for all of our cycles? 2. Visual System It’s easy to get swamped in detail about the visual system. (This animation may help.) Videos 10 and 11 discuss the visual pathways that originate in the retina and “ascend” to the visual cortex via the thalamus. In this week’s resources the retina is revealed as more than a screen for images. Light falls on different classes of photoreceptors, rods and cones, which organize light stimulation according to their pigments by intensity and wavelength. From the duplex nature of the retina there arises a tradeoff between greater acuity in the center and greater sensitivity in the periphery. The output of the retina ...

In this session, you’ll learn about some of the latest emerging neuroscience and behavioral science about how humans really learn. What the empirical data tells us is there are amazing connections between the reality of learning and video, especially micro-video. Some of what we think we know about human learning is simply mistaken. We’ll go over actual case studies and the findings proving how results change when learning practices are tied to the realities of human learning. In this session, we will go through some best practices tips and suggestions showing how you can leverage these amazing data-driven findings to improve the rates of employee learning in your organization, and by extension, drive ever higher levels of performance and business results. www.bizlibrary.com

The Learning and Memory Connection Kimberly Kocak, Pamela Foglesong, Brianna Duda, Lizette Villavicencio, Maisha Wade PSY/340 June 8, 2015 Dr. Purvi Patel Memory and Learning Memory and learning perform a complicated dance involving multiple areas of the brain. Memory and Learning can be affected by numerous events from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), disease and stress, just to name a few. Memory is implicit for learning but we have many different kinds of memory and learning. We have implicit memory, explicit memory, procedural memory, episodic memory, long-term and short-term, sensory, sematic and working memories. Each play a role in how we learn and interact with the world and view our past, present and future. In this presentation we will explore some of the interactions between memory and learning, look at a few case studies and talk about types of treatments that are available, depending on the area and extent of damage to certain parts of the brain. http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/03/12/stress-affects-learning-and-memory/2031.html/ Image 2 Neuroanatomy of Learning and Memory How do we learn? Amygdala: An almond shaped mass of nuclei that is associated with emotions, aggression, and memory. The amygdala receives input about stimuli associated by learning with primary reinforcers. Hippocampus: The hippocampus is useful in learning a certain amount of information. According to Rolls (2000), “the hippocampus does appear to be necessary to learn certain types of information, which have been characterized as declarative, or knowing that, as contrasted or procedural, or knowing how, which is pared in amnesia.” Learning is a behavior, in which an individual acquires information. Learning is obtaining knowledge, in which the brain is able to retain and store away. In order for knowledge to be stored away, it needs memory, so, without memory, learning would not be possible. “Not only does the amygdala receive information about primary reinforcers (such as taste and touch), but it also receives inputs about stimuli (e.g. visual ones) that can be associated by learning with primary reinforcers” (Rolls, 2000). Primary reinforcers are used within operant conditioning (learning technique), which are used as a reward for a specific behavior. Primary reinfrocers do not need to be learned, meaning, they come naturally. 3 Neuroanatomy of Learning and Memory How do we remember? The limbic system is important in the role of learning and memory. The two major parts of the limbic system responsible for memory include: amygdala and hippocampus. “Small to moderate amounts of cortisol activate the amygdala and hippocampus, where they enhance the storage and consolidation of recent experiences” (Kalat, 2013). Cortisol is an important part of storing memories. The limbic system is located ...

1. Introduction Written and Narrated by Professor Deni Elliott There are so many considerations in making ethical decisions, but what consideration is most important? Different cultures and ethical systems have produced theories that favor one consideration over others. The consideration that a theory favors is called a Fundamental Moral Unit, or FMU. Many of the classical Western philosophers from the Greek and roman traditions favor the individual as the Fundamental Moral Unit. In these theories, the primary dictate is a negative statement: Don’t get in an individual’s way in his or her pursuit of the good life. Feminist theories tend to determine the best choice based on how well those choices strengthen the connections among people and how well the needs of the most vulnerable are addressed. The fundamental moral unit here is relationship between people and is based on the belief that care should be given to those who can’t take care of themselves. Some Eastern theories promote the overall good of the community first and foremost. And some indigenous theories stress human’s connection with the world as a whole, with all natural systems and species having an equal right to co-exist. People who grow up in these traditions expect that they and others will sacrifice individual self-interest for the good of the group and the environment. The Fundamental Moral Unit here is called "aggregate good." Let’s consider a decision you might encounter if you were a member of your local city council. There is a 50 acre parcel of land in your city’s jurisdiction that was designated a hundred years ago to remain open space. Now the area contains some ancient Native burial grounds, but the tribe members a hundred years and tribe members today are happy with the designated use as long as the woodlands around the burial mounds stay intact. A developer would like to build a shopping mall there. As a city council member, you get to decide how that land will be used today: should it remain a park or become a shopping mall? If you make your choice based only on the good that comes to individuals, you might be tempted to go with the shopping mall. The mall will provide jobs for many of the people in the community who are out of work and the additional income from the taxes from the new property owner and the businesses will allow the city to reduce taxes for individual home owners. Which choice best advances the overall good of the community in which I live? The policy choice made previously to protect the land respected human connections to natural systems and was sensitive to the culture and history of a minority group. Affirming that decision helps all people in the community maintain trust in government. We can see how the teachings from all of these traditions can help us in analyzing an important choice. And they can help us answer one more question: Can I find a choice that doesn’t cause harm to anyone or anything? If a shopping mall is a good idea for the .

1. Introduction: The objective of this video is to introduce students to the fundamental attribution error and its implications. One implication is that we often have a tendency to judge others unfairly because we do not take into account the situational factors that may have caused them to make unethical decisions. We jump to the conclusion that they are bad people because they did a bad thing. That said, it is important to remember that situational factors are usually explanations for while people err, they are not excuses. The best way to avoid this error, experts say, it to put ourselves in the shoes of others and try to envision the pressures they might have faced. The other implication of the fundamental attribution error is that we may be too easy on ourselves, if we are not careful. We may too readily find situational factors, organizational pressures and the like and then simply excuse our own conduct. The fundamental attribution error is the tendency to attribute "causes of behavior to actors (i.e., internal, dispositional factors) rather than the situation (i.e., external, environmental factors." We see that other people have done bad things, and we assume that it is because of their character rather than the fact that they were, perhaps, striving so hard to please their superiors that they did not even notice the ethical issue that they flubbed. According to some psychologists, the other side of the coin from the fundamental attribution error is the actor-observer bias which is people’s tendency to over-emphasize the role of the situation in their own behaviors. They insist there’s nothing wrong with their character, because their errors are accounted for by some situational factor—the boss’s pressure, the need to feed their families, etc. Francesca Gino writes: "In particular, one mistake we systematically make is known as the correspondence bias. When making attributions as we evaluate others, we tend to ascribe too little influence to the situation and too much to their dispositions. In simpler terms, we tend to believe that people’s behavior reflects their unique dispositions and skills, when many times it actually reflects aspects of the situation in which they find themselves." This sounds a lot like a different name for the fundamental attribution error. 2. Task – Watch the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDhiyPAD6NQ 3. Activities: 1. If you met a famous white-collar criminal, what would you expect him (or, occasionally, her) to be like? 2. Why do you think it is so common to hear white collar criminals described by their neighbors as "the nicest guy," "a real family man," etc.? 3. Can you think of things that you have done in the past that you wish you hadn’t and that you do not believe represent your true character? 4. How can we endeavour to judge people’s character more accurately? .

1. In Jules Henry’s view, how are values and drives related to each other? (Points : 1) Values determine how people behave, while drives are ways of acting that are required by circumstances. Values are what people care enough to follow through on, while drives are followed out of necessity. Values are ideals that people do not necessarily pursue, while drives are the motives people actually pursue. They are synonyms. Question 2. 2. Which of the following best characterizes culture? (Points : 1) A culture is a homogeneous system. A culture can best be described as a simple listing of various characteristics. A culture is a dynamic system. Some cultures are dynamic, while others are stable. Question 3. 3. Which of the following theoretical perspectives distinguishes cultural anthropology from other disciplines? (Points : 1) Humanism Holism Materialism Ethnocentrism Question 4. 4. Which of the following is true of a belief system’s influence on how people think? (Points : 1) Beliefs have no relationship to feelings. In every culture, some beliefs are set forth as proper ways of thinking. Beliefs are controlled by reality, not by culture. Individuals may freely deviate from others in their beliefs with no likelihood of punishment. Question 5. 5. Sir Edward Burnett Tylor’s concept of survivals is best defined by which of the following? (Points : 1) Cultural traits change the least because they are the means by which a society copes with its environment. Primitive cultures have avoided extinction as more complex ways of life developed. Evidence of major catastrophic events in the past. Remnants of earlier social customs and ideas aid in reconstructing the evolutionary past of societies. Question 6. 6. Which of the following best defines culture?
