Statement of Research Gaps or Unanswered Questions
The final project for WRTG 391 will be a statement of research gaps or unanswered questions.
In this assignment you will describe the topic on which you wrote your synthesis essay, or literature review. You will then state what gaps you found in the research on your topic, areas in which further research might be appropriate on the topic, or any questions have opened up for you or remained unanswered as a result of having researched this topic.
This paper will be approximately 500-750 words.
Organization of the Paper
Introductory paragraph:
In this paragraph, you will explain the topic which you researched. The final sentence will be a thesis statement arguing for further research in specific areas.
Body section of 2-3 paragraphs:
This section would describe any one of, or a combination of, the following. You would want at least two areas in which you felt there were gaps, needs for further research, or new or unanswered questions as a result of your research.
-gaps you saw in the research
For example, let us imagine you wrote a literature review on the effectiveness of one-on-one laptop programs in high schools. You may have noticed that little research has been done on how non-native speakers of English respond to one-on-one laptop programs. No studies analyzed the effects of such programs on the writing, reading, and critical thinking development of non-native speakers of English. This could be a gap in the research that you would point out in your paper.
-areas in which further research could be conducted that would shed more light on an issue
For example, let us imagine you wrote a literature review on the effectiveness of one-on-one laptop programs in high schools. You may have noticed that research has been conducted on the impact of such programs on the writing skills of non-native speakers of English. However, the studies did not focus on particular language groups. You feel that further study specifically on Chinese speakers and further study specifically on Spanish speakers is warranted. This could be an example of an area in which further research would be warranted that you would point out in your paper.
-questions that remained unanswered for you or new questions that opened up for you as you read the current literature on your topic
For example, let us imagine you wrote a literature review on the effectiveness of one-on-one laptop programs in high schools. You noticed that, as you were reading through the literature, you had questions on how schools determined what types of laptops to purchase. Did they purchase Hewlett-Packards computers, Dell computers, Toshiba computers, Acer computers, or computers from some other vendor? You found yourself wondering how business decisions with vendors are made when implementing a one-on-one laptop program. This could be an example of a question that opened up for you as you read through the literature. You could ...

Forensic Psychology 3rd Edition Fulero Test Bank
This chapter introduces forensic psychology and discusses its history and relationship with the legal system. It describes how Hugo Munsterberg was an early pioneer in forensic psychology in the late 19th/early 20th century, trying to apply experimental psychology findings to the legal system. However, the legal profession strongly criticized his claims. There were few advances until the 1970s due to tensions between psychology's empirical approach and law's emphasis on precedent. The chapter outlines ongoing conflicts between determining "truth" in legal versus scientific terms and differences in reasoning between the two fields.

Introduction to the Psychology of Criminal Behavior prov
Introduction to the Psychology of Criminal Behavior provides an overview of the intersection of
psychology and the criminal justice system. The biopsychosocial factors that may influence criminal
behavior are examined such as aggression, psychopathy, mental health disorders, and brain dysfunction.
Finally, appropriate psychological interventions are evaluated to determine the best course of action for
predicting and treating criminal behavior in both juveniles and adults.
This course provides students with foundational knowledge regarding the psychological and sociological
characteristics associated with criminal behavior. The textbook and other course sources examine the
complex nature of criminal behaviors through a variety of theories, methodologies, and perspectives.
Case studies and real‐life examples are also included. Through discussions, journal activities, written
assignments, and a Comprehensive Case Study Report Final Paper, students will utilize course content as
well as additional scholarly research to critically consider concepts that focus on the evolution of
criminal and delinquent behavior.
Throughout the course, you will notice Twitter feeds have been added after each weekly Introduction.
These feeds are from major criminal justice organizations and other sources that are relevant to this
course; the feeds are recommended only and not required. Twitter is as useful as the links it provides;
some are more useful than others, so keep an eye out for any of these credible source materials for
support in your discussions and written assignments.
Week 1 kicks off the course by examining mental disorders that are most frequently correlated with
criminal behavior. You will learn that, contrary to stereotype, individuals who suffer from mental
disorders do not commit a high percentage of crimes. You will also learn about psychopathy, its
characteristics, and its relationship to criminal behavior.
Learning Outcomes
This week students will
1. Examine the various types of offender profiling.
2. Analyze ethical considerations in offender profiling.
3. Differentiate features of various types of murders.
4. Assess the impact that biological, developmental, and situational factors have on the
development of criminal behavior.

ON THE ORIGINS OF VIOLENCE.docx
This document provides instructions for multiple assignments related to analyzing violence. It discusses analyzing the origins of violence through a case study of the Newtown shooting. Later assignments involve analyzing elder abuse, gang violence, and developing an educational program on a type of violence. The document provides detailed expectations for writing assignments on these topics, including length, original work, use of references, precision, depth, clarity, and critical thinking.
As we watch the we find that stories of school.docx
The document discusses a journal article that studied how residents near two school shootings in Finland perceived and tried to explain the shooter's actions. It prompts the reader to critique the article's strengths and weaknesses, and opinion on the findings. It also asks how social science research indicates arguments about gun safety following recent mass school shootings in the US, and which arguments does evidence support more than others.

The Other Wes Moore.docx
The document discusses using the biopsychosocial-cultural model to understand the case of Wes Moore, who was convicted of murder. This model incorporates biological, psychological, developmental, familial, social, and cultural factors to understand how mental illness develops and how to design effective treatments. Students are asked to analyze how biological, developmental, psychological, familial, social and cultural factors played a role in Moore's troubled childhood and imprisonment. They must also evaluate how early intervention addressing these factors could have prevented his issues, and recommend two childhood treatments based on the biopsychosocial-cultural factors.

Research questions
It was not known how criminal offenders perceive and mentally represent the world around them
It was not known what role perception plays in an individual’s potential to commit crime
The basis of Cognitive theory
Cognitive is defined as an ability to process information: Cognition has to do with one's ability to learn information quickly, memorize, and understand information they receive. Therefore, cognitive theories of crime fall under the psychological theories of criminal behavior. It's important to know that there are different theories that attempt to explain acts of criminal behavior.
Cognitive-behavioral theory combines the principles of social and developmental psychology and those of experimental-clinical psychology. The theory, applied to crime and delinquency, proposes that social behavior is learned. To understand why and how people commit crimes, psychologists and sociologists often study, analyze, and develop explanations of why these behaviors exist. Cognitive theory is one of many psychological theories of criminal behavior. Cognitive theories of crime explain criminal behavior as a defect in moral thinking, thought processes, and mental development. Cognitive theories focus on how we perceive the world around us, how we think, and the factors that influence our mental development (family upbringing, parental modeling, personality, intelligence). These theories help to explain how we develop morally in our thought process. Cognitive theories also help us to understand how an individual's personality and intelligence level are linked to delinquency.
Theoretical framework : theory of cognitive development
Jean Piaget: Moral and intellectual development. People construct a mental model of the world from childhood. Thus, from birth onward an individual will continue to develop. It is a process which occurs due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment.
Bandura maintains that individuals are not born with an innate ability to act violently. He suggested that, in contrast, violence and aggression are learned through a process of behavior modeling (Bandura, 1977). In other words, children learn violence through the observation of others. Aggressive acts are modeled after three primary sources: (1) family interaction, (2) environmental experiences, and (3) the mass media.
Lawrence Kohlberg (1927–1987), who applied the concept of moral development to criminological theory. Kohlberg (1984) believed that individuals pass through stages of moral development. Most important to his theory is the notion that there are levels, stages, and social orientation. The three levels are Level I, preconventional; Level II, conventional; and Level III, postconventional. With respect to the different stages, Stages 1 and 2 fall under Level I. Stages 3 and 4 fall under Level II, and Stages 5 and 6 fall under Level III.

does not mean rejecting an idea or claim but to withhold personal judgement until a review of all the factual information can be done before making a decision. This allows a critical thinker to remain unbiased and not jump to conclusions based on their assumptions.
Inferring
is the ability to draw conclusion based on the factual information obtained by assessing the raw data as a whole and discover probable outcomes (QualiaSoup, 2009). One thing to remember is, new information is always being presented and your original inference may not be correct. Finally, the
reasoning
used to draw your conclusions should be made based on facts and not emotions. Reasoning allows the critical thinker to make sound decisions backed by logic and not emotions or social pressure.
Search the Internet, media, or the Ashford University Library, and find an example in which good critical thinking skills are being demonstrated by the author or speaker. Summarize the content and explain why you think it demonstrates good critical thinking skills.
One article I found on international drug trafficking and law enforcements failure on the war on drugs is by German Lopez on Vox.com. Lopez (2016) analyzes the United States current drug problem and the cost it has on the United States trying to combat it through criminalization. In the article Lopez(2016) explains how the war on drugs, which started in 1971, has done little to stop illicit drug use in the United States. In the last forty years the drug war has cost taxpayers over $1 trillion while straining the criminal justice system and doing little as to drug use, production, and trafficking.
I believe Lopez used critical thinking in his claim because as he presents in information he backs it up through research and statistics provided by reputable sources. He quotes many individuals in the article and provides both sides arguments to keeping or removing the criminal aspect of drug abuse. Additionally, Lopez does not just look at those outcomes as the only two options avoiding a false dichotomy. He offers other solutions such as reducing the level of criminality associated to drug trafficking and reducing drug schedules for certain drugs such as marijuana.

First paper relates to “Decision Fatigue” and Ariely chapter 4 discussion.
Second paper relates to Ariely chapter 8 discussion.
Notes for Chapter 4 & 8:
Chapter 4: Why We Blow It When We Are Tired
Stressful days make us eat less healthy food
Cognitive load even if minimal makes us more liable to temptation
The tired brain
When deliberative brain occupied then instinctive part takes over
When judges get tired
Judges grant parole more frequently first thing in morning and right after lunch break
Willful cognitive work and denial of instincts lowers barriers to cheating in other parts of life
Months of studying causes students to lower morals and claim dead grandmothers before finals
Don't shop for groceries when tired or hungry
Give in to some known temptations like dessert to avoid bigger unknown temptations later
Do most challenging tasks in morning
Remove temptations or don't go to places where see them
Chapter 8: Cheating as an Infection
Spread of corporate dishonesty like infection
Observing dishonesty in ppl close to u makes u do it more
When do something questionable, the act of inviting our friends to join in makes us feel better because socially acceptable
Dishonesty defined by social norms not cost benefit analysis
When observer from outside group cheats then the signaling effect breaks
Wrong to view minor infractions as trivial because signal and then snowball
Broken windows theory: fix problems when they r small

Chapter 7 on memory
To understand the three processing phases of memory, consider that right now you are reading the information in this textbook. Presumably, you are trying to remember the information. In the encoding phase, your brain changes information—for example, what you see on the page when you are reading this text—into a meaningful neural code that it can use (Figure 7.2, Step 1). The storage phase is how you maintain the coded representation in a network of neurons in the brain. Storage can last a fraction of a second or as long as a lifetime. In retrieval, the third phase of memory, you re-access the information. Think of this phase as bringing to your mind a previously encoded and stored memory when it is needed, just as answers to an exam.

Abstract
False memories can result in severe legal consequences including the imprisonment of innocent people.
False memory in eyewitnesses is the largest factor contributing to miscarriages of justice in the United
States. To date, no study has focused on how false memories might play a role in the Chinese legal
system. The purpose of this review is to summarize the latest findings on false memory and eyewitness
testimony in the literature, and to shed some light on how the Chinese legal system may incorporate
these experiences into practice. Overall, false memories of eyewitnesses are generated either by external
misleading information or by internal cognitive processes; false memories may guide police
investigations in the wrong direction or cause eyewitnesses to misidentify an innocent perso ...

Model Building, Selection, & Prediction
Question 1:
1. Predicting the Output Variable Y – Energy Production Prediction
a) Importing the data from CSV data and splitting into test and training data:
Using the read.csv() function we can import the data into R
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
b) Fitting a Linear Regression Model:
Running the Linear Regression Model with all the Variables
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
The Adjusted R-Squared value is found to be 0.2366.
From the data It can seen that Pressure and Wind are only significant.
So, we run the model only with wind and pressure variables.
Reduced Regression Model (Wind and Pressures Variable only)
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Removing the Wind Variable since the Adjusted R Squared Value is only 0.0229. Now we run the regression using only the Pressure Variable.
Running the Regression model with only Wind Variable:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
The Adjusted R-Squared value is found to be 0.219, which is less than the previous regression models.
ANOVA test is to be conducted to find the significance of the all variable included model and the reduced pressure variable model.
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Between the All variable and Reduced model, the P value is found to be 0.2578, so we should not reject the Null hypothesis and use the Reduced Model.
Between the Pressure variable and Reduced model, the P value is found to be 0.0768, so we should not reject the Null hypothesis and use the Pressure Model.
Running Best Subset to find the model:
Best Subset find the value of statistics for all variables involved and print the statistics for comparison, using which we can select the appropriate variable
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
RSS Value decrease as the variable increase.
Model with 5 variable has the highest Adjusted R Square.
Model with 3 variable has the smallest AIC (or Cp).
Model with 8 variable has the smallest BIC.
Since the Bestsubset approach provides a broad result we check the predicted R square and use the model with highest R square and lower RMSE
R square and RMSE Prediction:
For all variable considered Model:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
For the Reduced Model with Pressure and Wind Variables:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Single Model with Pressure as the dependent variable:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Summary:
From the Analysis we can conclude that model with the pressure as the dependent variable is better than the other models. The Adjusted R square value of 0.31 is the best and the RMSE value is also the least in case of the pressur model.
From the Adjusted R Squared value we conclude that the pressure model is the best and can predict the energy produced rate accurately for 31% of the data.
c) Backward Selection Approach:
Regression Model using all the variables:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Conclusion:
The backward step AIC function tells a slightly different result then the models generated above. However, when we create the regression model we see a low R2 value then our single mod.

Assignment #5 Community Based Organization Profile Due.docx
Assignment #5
Community Based Organization Profile
Due April 16
You will identify a community based organization within your chosen community and produce a
well written (about 1000 words) profile of the organization. During your investigation, you
should reach out to the group to possibly speak to a representative who could augment the
information that is likely freely available on the organization’s website and print literature. Your
goal is to find answers to the “who, what, when, where, and whys” of the group regarding their
impact on the community
What does the CBO do? What are their goals? From what you can tell (your observations and
research), what has been the impact of the organization?
When was the organization created? Under what circumstances did this occur? What is the
organization’s history?
Who comprises the CBO’s membership/workforce? What population does the organization
serve? (This is a time to think about issues of class, race/ethnicity, age, ability, and gender. To
what degree is the organization representative of the population it serves?). Is the organization
large or small?
Where is the organization located? How “grassroots” (comprised of local members and focused
on the local community) does the organization appear to be?
Why was the organization established? As far as you can tell, have the goals/strategies shifted
considerably over time?
How does the organization go about its work? (Does it provide specific services to the
community? Does it organize community members to fight for their own interests?) How is the
group organized? How is the organization funded? How does the group present itself to the
larger community?
Considering findings from your larger community research project, what conclusions can you
draw about the organization? Consider some methodological issues as well: Was the group
difficult to locate or contact? Were they open to you inquiries? If you encountered any special
difficulties, why do you think that occurred? Does the group seem sustainable? (Is it firmly
established or on its last leg?) Does the organization appear to be impactful? How can you tell?

Introduction to the Psychology of Criminal Behavior prov
Introduction to the Psychology of Criminal Behavior provides an overview of the intersection of
psychology and the criminal justice system. The biopsychosocial factors that may influence criminal
behavior are examined such as aggression, psychopathy, mental health disorders, and brain dysfunction.
Finally, appropriate psychological interventions are evaluated to determine the best course of action for
predicting and treating criminal behavior in both juveniles and adults.
This course provides students with foundational knowledge regarding the psychological and sociological
characteristics associated with criminal behavior. The textbook and other course sources examine the
complex nature of criminal behaviors through a variety of theories, methodologies, and perspectives.
Case studies and real‐life examples are also included. Through discussions, journal activities, written
assignments, and a Comprehensive Case Study Report Final Paper, students will utilize course content as
well as additional scholarly research to critically consider concepts that focus on the evolution of
criminal and delinquent behavior.
Throughout the course, you will notice Twitter feeds have been added after each weekly Introduction.
These feeds are from major criminal justice organizations and other sources that are relevant to this
course; the feeds are recommended only and not required. Twitter is as useful as the links it provides;
some are more useful than others, so keep an eye out for any of these credible source materials for
support in your discussions and written assignments.
Week 1 kicks off the course by examining mental disorders that are most frequently correlated with
criminal behavior. You will learn that, contrary to stereotype, individuals who suffer from mental
disorders do not commit a high percentage of crimes. You will also learn about psychopathy, its
characteristics, and its relationship to criminal behavior.
Learning Outcomes
This week students will
1. Examine the various types of offender profiling.
2. Analyze ethical considerations in offender profiling.
3. Differentiate features of various types of murders.
4. Assess the impact that biological, developmental, and situational factors have on the
development of criminal behavior.

The basis of Cognitive theory
Cognitive is defined as an ability to process information: Cognition has to do with one's ability to learn information quickly, memorize, and understand information they receive. Therefore, cognitive theories of crime fall under the psychological theories of criminal behavior. It's important to know that there are different theories that attempt to explain acts of criminal behavior.
Cognitive-behavioral theory combines the principles of social and developmental psychology and those of experimental-clinical psychology. The theory, applied to crime and delinquency, proposes that social behavior is learned. To understand why and how people commit crimes, psychologists and sociologists often study, analyze, and develop explanations of why these behaviors exist. Cognitive theory is one of many psychological theories of criminal behavior. Cognitive theories of crime explain criminal behavior as a defect in moral thinking, thought processes, and mental development. Cognitive theories focus on how we perceive the world around us, how we think, and the factors that influence our mental development (family upbringing, parental modeling, personality, intelligence). These theories help to explain how we develop morally in our thought process. Cognitive theories also help us to understand how an individual's personality and intelligence level are linked to delinquency.
Theoretical framework : theory of cognitive development
Jean Piaget: Moral and intellectual development. People construct a mental model of the world from childhood. Thus, from birth onward an individual will continue to develop. It is a process which occurs due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment.
Bandura maintains that individuals are not born with an innate ability to act violently. He suggested that, in contrast, violence and aggression are learned through a process of behavior modeling (Bandura, 1977). In other words, children learn violence through the observation of others. Aggressive acts are modeled after three primary sources: (1) family interaction, (2) environmental experiences, and (3) the mass media.
Lawrence Kohlberg (1927–1987), who applied the concept of moral development to criminological theory. Kohlberg (1984) believed that individuals pass through stages of moral development. Most important to his theory is the notion that there are levels, stages, and social orientation. The three levels are Level I, preconventional; Level II, conventional; and Level III, postconventional. With respect to the different stages, Stages 1 and 2 fall under Level I. Stages 3 and 4 fall under Level II, and Stages 5 and 6 fall under Level III.
The next subdiscipline is the information-processing branch. This area is predicated on the no ...

The basis of Cognitive theory
Cognitive is defined as an ability to process information: Cognition has to do with one's ability to learn information quickly, memorize, and understand information they receive. Therefore, cognitive theories of crime fall under the psychological theories of criminal behavior. It's important to know that there are different theories that attempt to explain acts of criminal behavior.
Cognitive-behavioral theory combines the principles of social and developmental psychology and those of experimental-clinical psychology. The theory, applied to crime and delinquency, proposes that social behavior is learned. To understand why and how people commit crimes, psychologists and sociologists often study, analyze, and develop explanations of why these behaviors exist. Cognitive theory is one of many psychological theories of criminal behavior. Cognitive theories of crime explain criminal behavior as a defect in moral thinking, thought processes, and mental development. Cognitive theories focus on how we perceive the world around us, how we think, and the factors that influence our mental development (family upbringing, parental modeling, personality, intelligence). These theories help to explain how we develop morally in our thought process. Cognitive theories also help us to understand how an individual's personality and intelligence level are linked to delinquency.
Theoretical framework : theory of cognitive development
Jean Piaget: Moral and intellectual development. People construct a mental model of the world from childhood. Thus, from birth onward an individual will continue to develop. It is a process which occurs due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment.
Bandura maintains that individuals are not born with an innate ability to act violently. He suggested that, in contrast, violence and aggression are learned through a process of behavior modeling (Bandura, 1977). In other words, children learn violence through the observation of others. Aggressive acts are modeled after three primary sources: (1) family interaction, (2) environmental experiences, and (3) the mass media.
Lawrence Kohlberg (1927–1987), who applied the concept of moral development to criminological theory. Kohlberg (1984) believed that individuals pass through stages of moral development. Most important to his theory is the notion that there are levels, stages, and social orientation. The three levels are Level I, preconventional; Level II, conventional; and Level III, postconventional. With respect to the different stages, Stages 1 and 2 fall under Level I. Stages 3 and 4 fall under Level II, and Stages 5 and 6 fall under Level III.
The next subdiscipline is the information-processing branch. This area is predicated on the no.

Terrance
Explain at least five elements of critical thinking that you found in the reading material.
QualiaSoup (2009) lists nine elements to critical thinking which are: (1) analyzing, (2) conceptualizing, (3) defining, (4) examining, (5) inferring, (6) listening, (7) questioning, (8) reasoning, and (9) synthesizing. I consider analyzing and examining as the first two steps to critical thinking.
Analyzing
and
examining
breaks down the research as a whole into separate pieces to determine their purpose. Using these two elements, you can determine if a source is credible, if the content pertains to what you are researching, and if the author is biased.
Questioning
does not mean rejecting an idea or claim but to withhold personal judgement until a review of all the factual information can be done before making a decision. This allows a critical thinker to remain unbiased and not jump to conclusions based on their assumptions.
Inferring
is the ability to draw conclusion based on the factual information obtained by assessing the raw data as a whole and discover probable outcomes (QualiaSoup, 2009). One thing to remember is, new information is always being presented and your original inference may not be correct. Finally, the
reasoning
used to draw your conclusions should be made based on facts and not emotions. Reasoning allows the critical thinker to make sound decisions backed by logic and not emotions or social pressure.
Search the Internet, media, or the Ashford University Library, and find an example in which good critical thinking skills are being demonstrated by the author or speaker. Summarize the content and explain why you think it demonstrates good critical thinking skills.
One article I found on international drug trafficking and law enforcements failure on the war on drugs is by German Lopez on Vox.com. Lopez (2016) analyzes the United States current drug problem and the cost it has on the United States trying to combat it through criminalization. In the article Lopez(2016) explains how the war on drugs, which started in 1971, has done little to stop illicit drug use in the United States. In the last forty years the drug war has cost taxpayers over $1 trillion while straining the criminal justice system and doing little as to drug use, production, and trafficking.
I believe Lopez used critical thinking in his claim because as he presents in information he backs it up through research and statistics provided by reputable sources. He quotes many individuals in the article and provides both sides arguments to keeping or removing the criminal aspect of drug abuse. Additionally, Lopez does not just look at those outcomes as the only two options avoiding a false dichotomy. He offers other solutions such as reducing the level of criminality associated to drug trafficking and reducing drug schedules for certain drugs such as marijuana.

Each of the two must discuss a different reading from the following list:
First paper relates to “Decision Fatigue” and Ariely chapter 4 discussion.
Second paper relates to Ariely chapter 8 discussion.
Notes for Chapter 4 & 8:
Chapter 4: Why We Blow It When We Are Tired
Stressful days make us eat less healthy food
Cognitive load even if minimal makes us more liable to temptation
The tired brain
When deliberative brain occupied then instinctive part takes over
When judges get tired
Judges grant parole more frequently first thing in morning and right after lunch break
Willful cognitive work and denial of instincts lowers barriers to cheating in other parts of life
Months of studying causes students to lower morals and claim dead grandmothers before finals
Don't shop for groceries when tired or hungry
Give in to some known temptations like dessert to avoid bigger unknown temptations later
Do most challenging tasks in morning
Remove temptations or don't go to places where see them
Chapter 8: Cheating as an Infection
Spread of corporate dishonesty like infection
Observing dishonesty in ppl close to u makes u do it more
When do something questionable, the act of inviting our friends to join in makes us feel better because socially acceptable
Dishonesty defined by social norms not cost benefit analysis
When observer from outside group cheats then the signaling effect breaks
Wrong to view minor infractions as trivial because signal and then snowball
Broken windows theory: fix problems when they r small
Publicize the individuals stand up against Crime
Publicize outstanding moral acts

Chapter 7 on memory
To understand the three processing phases of memory, consider that right now you are reading the information in this textbook. Presumably, you are trying to remember the information. In the encoding phase, your brain changes information—for example, what you see on the page when you are reading this text—into a meaningful neural code that it can use (Figure 7.2, Step 1). The storage phase is how you maintain the coded representation in a network of neurons in the brain. Storage can last a fraction of a second or as long as a lifetime. In retrieval, the third phase of memory, you re-access the information. Think of this phase as bringing to your mind a previously encoded and stored memory when it is needed, just as answers to an exam.

Abstract
False memories can result in severe legal consequences including the imprisonment of innocent people.
False memory in eyewitnesses is the largest factor contributing to miscarriages of justice in the United
States. To date, no study has focused on how false memories might play a role in the Chinese legal
system. The purpose of this review is to summarize the latest findings on false memory and eyewitness
testimony in the literature, and to shed some light on how the Chinese legal system may incorporate
these experiences into practice. Overall, false memories of eyewitnesses are generated either by external
misleading information or by internal cognitive processes; false memories may guide police
investigations in the wrong direction or cause eyewitnesses to misidentify an innocent perso ...

Model Building, Selection, & Prediction
Question 1:
1. Predicting the Output Variable Y – Energy Production Prediction
a) Importing the data from CSV data and splitting into test and training data:
Using the read.csv() function we can import the data into R
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
b) Fitting a Linear Regression Model:
Running the Linear Regression Model with all the Variables
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
The Adjusted R-Squared value is found to be 0.2366.
From the data It can seen that Pressure and Wind are only significant.
So, we run the model only with wind and pressure variables.
Reduced Regression Model (Wind and Pressures Variable only)
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Removing the Wind Variable since the Adjusted R Squared Value is only 0.0229. Now we run the regression using only the Pressure Variable.
Running the Regression model with only Wind Variable:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
The Adjusted R-Squared value is found to be 0.219, which is less than the previous regression models.
ANOVA test is to be conducted to find the significance of the all variable included model and the reduced pressure variable model.
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Between the All variable and Reduced model, the P value is found to be 0.2578, so we should not reject the Null hypothesis and use the Reduced Model.
Between the Pressure variable and Reduced model, the P value is found to be 0.0768, so we should not reject the Null hypothesis and use the Pressure Model.
Running Best Subset to find the model:
Best Subset find the value of statistics for all variables involved and print the statistics for comparison, using which we can select the appropriate variable
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
RSS Value decrease as the variable increase.
Model with 5 variable has the highest Adjusted R Square.
Model with 3 variable has the smallest AIC (or Cp).
Model with 8 variable has the smallest BIC.
Since the Bestsubset approach provides a broad result we check the predicted R square and use the model with highest R square and lower RMSE
R square and RMSE Prediction:
For all variable considered Model:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
For the Reduced Model with Pressure and Wind Variables:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Single Model with Pressure as the dependent variable:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Summary:
From the Analysis we can conclude that model with the pressure as the dependent variable is better than the other models. The Adjusted R square value of 0.31 is the best and the RMSE value is also the least in case of the pressur model.
From the Adjusted R Squared value we conclude that the pressure model is the best and can predict the energy produced rate accurately for 31% of the data.
c) Backward Selection Approach:
Regression Model using all the variables:
INPUT:
OUTPUT:
Conclusion:
The backward step AIC function tells a slightly different result then the models generated above. However, when we create the regression model we see a low R2 value then our single mod.

Assignment #5 Community Based Organization Profile Due.docx
Assignment #5
Community Based Organization Profile
Due April 16
You will identify a community based organization within your chosen community and produce a
well written (about 1000 words) profile of the organization. During your investigation, you
should reach out to the group to possibly speak to a representative who could augment the
information that is likely freely available on the organization’s website and print literature. Your
goal is to find answers to the “who, what, when, where, and whys” of the group regarding their
impact on the community
What does the CBO do? What are their goals? From what you can tell (your observations and
research), what has been the impact of the organization?
When was the organization created? Under what circumstances did this occur? What is the
organization’s history?
Who comprises the CBO’s membership/workforce? What population does the organization
serve? (This is a time to think about issues of class, race/ethnicity, age, ability, and gender. To
what degree is the organization representative of the population it serves?). Is the organization
large or small?
Where is the organization located? How “grassroots” (comprised of local members and focused
on the local community) does the organization appear to be?
Why was the organization established? As far as you can tell, have the goals/strategies shifted
considerably over time?
How does the organization go about its work? (Does it provide specific services to the
community? Does it organize community members to fight for their own interests?) How is the
group organized? How is the organization funded? How does the group present itself to the
larger community?
Considering findings from your larger community research project, what conclusions can you
draw about the organization? Consider some methodological issues as well: Was the group
difficult to locate or contact? Were they open to you inquiries? If you encountered any special
difficulties, why do you think that occurred? Does the group seem sustainable? (Is it firmly
established or on its last leg?) Does the organization appear to be impactful? How can you tell?

Assignment #5 100 points
_______________________________________________
A Comprehensive Position on Psychoactive Substances
_______________________________________________
Preparation: By this point in the course, you have been exposed to a
variety of different sources of information that attempt to contextualize
psychoactive substance use in the United States. You also have written a
number of short essays that focus on different substances and facets of
use. Today’s assignment focuses on your ability to articulate a cohesive
“summary” of your attitudes, beliefs, and understanding based on these
experiences.
Your Assignment: You have been hired by a non-partisan “think tank” to
draft a position statement on psychoactive substances in the United
States. This statement will be distributed to congress, members of the
media, judicial agencies, public health agencies, and other interested
parties. The purpose of the statement is to encourage a paradigm shift –
to suggest a new way of thinking about psychoactive substances, or, if
you wish, to reinforce current ways of thinking. Content for this statement
should include (examples are provided on the reverse of this sheet):
- What is the psychoactive substance that is most important to
address in the United States? Choose one.
- What current strategies address use of that substance?
- What new strategies do you suggest to address that substance, if
any?
What You Need to Submit:
This assignment should be a minimum of 1,250 words.
Grading:
Thorough examination of the issue 80 points
- Part One (Selection of Most Important) (20)
- Part Two (Current Strategies) (30)
- Part Three (New Strategies) (30)
Grammar/Spelling/Length 20 points
Brief Sample Assignment:
Most Important Substance: Here, I’m looking for you to select a single
substance (i.e., cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, etc…) that you think is
important to address. Then, explain why it is the most important
substance. A shortened example might be: “Marijuana is the most
important substance to address in the United States because it’s the most
contentious in terms of law. In other words, it is the area of the most
conflict between state and federal governments.”
- Then, tell me how you came to this conclusion (i.e., the standard
that you used to determine this).
- Provide examples
Current Strategies: Identify one or two current strategies (such as MLDA 21,
drug scheduling, warning labeling on cigarette packages, etc…) that
have addressed the use of that substance. Then, tie them in to the issue
you identified in the first part of the assignment. For example, “Marijuana
remains illegal at the federal level with no accepted medical uses. This is
because the FDA has stated that it will never approve a smoked
substance as a medical product. However, this quickly is becoming a law

Project Title: Learning the Threat Matrix with InstructED
Company
Team Name: InstructED Design Team (I-ED)
Team Members and Roles:
· Mary Ellen Williams is the Instructional Designer and Project Coordinator. In addition to producing instructional materials, the role of the project manager includes creating a schedule and budget for the project and managing the process from start to finish.
· The Subject-Matter Expert (SME), Dr. Michael Simonson, can also evaluate the plan, assessments, and results.
· The SWOS Instructors (two) are additional subject-matter experts and evaluators. The content is asynchronous which is why the instructor’s role does not include direct instruction.
· SWOS Administrator is a part of the ongoing support services that continue the evaluation/implementation cycle.
· Additional InstructED Design Team members: evaluator and programmer/app developer.
Experience
The Instructional Designer and Project Coordinator has over 13 years of teaching experience. In addition to her role as a classroom and distance education teacher, Kathryn has developed curriculum for multiple subjects, grade levels, and learners for over a decade. For the past three years, Kathryn has managed, mentored, coached, and supervised her department of 6-12 educators as team leader and serves as the current chair.
Introduction
The Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS) trains students to successfully serve as leaders in the U.S. Navy as experts in Surface Navy and eventually commanding officers at sea. SWOS students, or Ensigns, are responsible for memorizing the information in a detailed manual. The manual often referred to as the Shipboard’s Systems Matrix or Threat Matrix, contains information about combat fleets around the world. Ensigns are expected to learn the materials and master the Threat Matrix on their own accord with little formal classroom instruction. Mastery is measured by a multiple choice exam given to ensigns.
The InstructED Design Team will create a prototype digital training program for SWOS officers using Web 2.0 tools. The content matter for this training program is derived from the U.S. Navy’s Shipboard Systems Matrix.
Work to be accomplished
A prototype for an interactive digital training program will be designed using Web 2.0 tools and proposed to the SWOS Learning Standards Officer (LSO) and the Subject Matter Expert (SME). The digital training program will be available on multiple platforms already in use (computer, tablet, smartphone) and multiple operating systems (Android and iOS). The program will be available as an app and as an interactive website. The app will contain the information students need to learn from the Shipboard Systems Matrix (Threat Matrix) as well as optional embedded interactive lessons and games for add.

In the most straightforward terminology, the strategic planning process is the technique that administrations exercise to improve and develop strategies to attain a complete, and lasting objectives. Communication between departments is a key factor in having this goal come to fruition.
The total reason and point of strategic management are to grow an ongoing pledge to the task and vision of the company together within and in the sanctioning atmosphere, cultivate a philosophy that recognizes and supports the task and vision, and will uphold a strong attention of the establishment’s strategic outline during all its conclusionary developments and actions.
Communication is one of the key goals in any organization. It is especially important in the Florida Department of Corrections. Some of the key factors in effective communication in any agency be it law enforcement or not, is respect, transparency, and clarity. It is also important to know the non-verbal and verbal ways to communicate with another person. Body language is much more important than people think it is.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Evaluate the response by law enforcement as the incident took place. Was it possible to produce a better outcome?
