Occupational Justice Theory Paper
Occupational justice theory. According to Causey–Upton (2015), participating in leisure activities
has an enormous impact on the health and well–being of the aging population. "Occupational justice
is a principle that compliments and extends social justice ideologies" (Causey–Upton, 2015, p. 177).
"Occupational justice helps support the needs of people and communities so that they may
participate in occupations of both necessity and choice as part of a moral and empowering society"
(Causey–Upton, 2015, p. 177). Causey–Upton (2015) goes on to say that residents who live in
nursing homes experience multiple forms of occupational injustice (p. 177). Some examples of
occupational injustice are occupational imbalance, occupational deprivation, and occupational
marginalization (table 2) (Causey–Upton, 2015). Causey–Upton (2015) also says that leisure
activities offered in nursing homes may not include residents who are not provided with
accommodations needed to meet their cognitive or physical needs. ... Show more content on

Thriving theory is defined as "the ongoing process of growing through continuous human
environment interactions resulting in social, physical, and psychological resilience and growth"
(Haight, Barba, Tesh, & Courts, 2002, p. 18). A study done to chronicle the importance of everyday
activity engagement for those residing in a nursing home and how it is related to thriving showed a
positive association identified between the two. The most substantial influence in the nursing home
resident thriving was the engagement in activities, dressing nicely, and spending time with someone
who they enjoyed being around (Björk et al., 2017). Björk et al., (2017) states that participating in
meaningful activities and having a positive relationship with others suggests that the research results
are consistent with thriving theory and residents in nursing homes are shown to have a better quality

A Small Chain Of 78 French Islands
Islands are isolated and often have rich cultures developed due to this fact. These cultures are
threatened by various ongoing global issues and are left vulnerable in many ways; people of these
islands struggle to maintain their identities against the threat of globalization while trying to deal
with the capitalist economy. There are a small chain of 78 French Polynesian islands referred to as
Tuamotu that is located halfway between Australia and South America (Bowmaster, 2002). These

The reef has gone through many natural disasters, and has been forced to expand and erode but has
always been able to overcome them (Holland, 2011). In the wake of industrialization, which is tied
to westernization, the ocean has become much more acidic and the phytoplankton population, which
supports the ocean ecosystem, has severely decreased, causing the corals of the reef to become
bleached and begin to die; oil spills and ship groundings have caused the reef to become scarred in
parts as well (Holland, 2011). The reef is crucial to the economy of Australia and is beloved by the
locals and due to the environmental impacts of westernization it is left in a vulnerable state, leaving
the Australian aborigine culture vulnerable as well, as the two are directly linked (Holland, 2011).
The Pribilof Islands in Alaska are inhabited by Aleutian people, who were brought there by the
Russians and forced into service to kill sea mammals for their fur (Corbett & Swibold, 2000). These

Bjork 's Seven Studying Techniques
Bjork's Seven Studying Techniques This study has come from cognitive psychologist who have
done extensive research on the most effective ways of absorbing new information. The seven
techniques of studying are allocating your attention efficiently, interpreting and elaborating on what
you are trying to learn, making your studying a variable, studying a given item several times in
intervals, visualizing information, then generating and retrieving. Using this techniques will
properly improve your studying abilities. If you want to thoroughly be able to remember the
information you are learning you must allocate your attention. Multitasking causes all activities or
responsivities you are attempting to suffer. If you aren't focusing hard you will have trouble
retaining the information. Your minds ability to ponder a topic for an extended period of time is
restricted. Your brain may get bored and start to wander, making it difficult to recall the information
later. Take breaks while studying to keep your mind focused on the task at hand.
Interpretation and elaborating is a very important part of comprehending information. When
interpreting information you are learning you must remember to relate the important points of
information to yourself. Use "clues" to help you remember the material, understand and infer the
lesson. You learn a topic in depth you are elaborating, processing into your own words. Elaborating
on a topic it creates variability by thinking about it in a

Reflection Paper
My life once consisted of waking up, school, homework, church and going to bed only to do it all
once again. When I was six, I moved across the Atlantic from Nigeria, and away from a life that I
was told to appreciate, and classify as pure happiness. My first community was one that consisted of
people that looked exactly like me, who had the strength to move mountains. I was taught to
appreciate my culture as I watched my grandmother carry the load from the market on top of her
head for the thirty minute walk from the market without any complaints. My mom was a working
woman, and still found the time to raise me and take care of her family, without ever really taking a
moment for herself. The strength that I was surrounded by would motivate me to be the best version
of myself, and to work harder, despite any obstacles in my way.
In America, I began to my search for my personal definition of happiness and success. This would
lead me on a tangled and bumpy journey in which I have finally been able to begin to unravel a
small segment of. For a while I was pulled into the American Dream and the what–every–African–
immigrant–parent–wants–for–their–children stereotype aiming to please my mom because, after all,
every parent wants the best for their kids.
In my journey to escape this cocoon and the newly discovered stereotypes about black Americans
living in Harlem, I discovered a program that would allow me to venture into a new chapter of my
life and begin to experience the happiness I once sought. A Better Chance (ABC), drove me to
experience new cultures, a new way of living, and different forms of thinking after living a life spent
sheltered from reality in order to protect my innocence. ABC is a nonprofit organization that helps
academically gifted young minorities get into private day schools and boarding schools. Another
extension of ABC is the community school program, of which I am a member.
As I became an A Better Chance scholar, the transition from life in New York City to life in Guilford
would be a difficult, yet empowering one. For the first few weeks of school, I felt like an outsider

Dancer In The Dark And The Piano Analysis
Compare the ways in which Lars von Trier, in Dancer in the Dark, and Jane Campion in The Piano,
explore the idea that hope can be found even in the midst of the most adverse circumstances. In the
film, Dancer in the Dark, and the movie, The Piano, Lars von Trier and Jane Campion respectively
utilise various literary and circumstances. The historical contextual settings of both texts encapsulate
worlds of destruction in which the central female protagonists, Ada Mcgrath and Selma Jezkova,
withstand the understanding between the native Maori people towards the scripted and sterile play –
which served as a form of happiness and communal gathering for Victorian Europeans – suggests
that different forms of expression such as drama and music often lacks understanding when
compared to reality. Contrastingly, in the musical interludes, von Trier explores the idea that
creativity brings a sense of connection and unity through the use of artificial lighting, saturated
colour palette, non–diegetic sound track and head shots and long shots exposing a community
singing, dancing and embracing. The vibrancy and liveliness in these musical scenes directly
contrasts with the raw reduction in the 'reality' scenes and ultimately suggests that musicals create a
hopeful and reconciliatory world where, contrasting Campion's, there is "always someone to catch
you when you fall." While creativity provides an escape from harsh reality, both Campion and von

Analysis Of Shakespeare 's ' Beowulf ' And ' The Evil '
2016
The Good in Beowulf and the Evil in the Monsters
Beowulf is considered to be the oldest surviving poem that is preserved to date. The poem is
believed to date back to about the eighth century, and the written manuscript in the eleventh century
(Bjork and Obermeir 17; Neidorf 119). Also, Beowulf is commonly believed to be set in
Scandinavia before the migration to Britain, even though there are Anglo–Saxon and Scandinavian
cultural influences that are apparent when reading the poems storyline (Earl 19). The storyline
encompasses aspects of the Geats, the Danes, and the Swedes. Throughout the poem there are many
themes and ideas that make this one of the greatest stories ever told and written. One major theme
throughout the storyline is the goodness of Beowulf and the evil of the monsters.
According to J. S. Mackenzie, the modern concept of good and evil is that the two are relative
opposites (Mackenzie 254). Meaning in terms of the poem, Beowulf and the monsters are the ideal
definition of good and evil. Beowulf is seen as the iconic hero that brings balance and restoration to
the land. He is literally a knight in shining armor. While the monsters represent destruction and
mayhem. Each monster is the epitome of all that is wicked and corrupt. The poet of Beowulf made a
clear distinction between heroic Beowulf's good character and the evilness that embodies the three
monsters (Robinson 79).

Pros And Cons Of Myers Briggs Type Indicator
Myers–Briggs Type Indicator Review Kiley Wilson Southwestern Oklahoma State University
Introduction: The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was originally constructed to serve as a
personality type indicator for personnel selection purposes.Today, usage is different from when the
test was originally developed. The MBTI is now used for anyone that wants to know what their
results would be, whether they need it or not. The test is available for professional administration,
likely for a fee, and self administration, at no monetary cost. The test results can yield sixteen
different combinations of the four dichotomous categories which include: extroverted (E) or
introverted (I), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking (T) or feeling (F), ... Show more content on

Validity, or the degree to which the test measures what it is constructed to measure, is called into
question due to the construct itself. Arguments could be made about the MBTI that personality type
is not a stable construct, it cannot be tested, it cannot be normed, it is too culturally biased, and that
results cannot be ethically used for any decision making. These type of arguments are reasonable
and haven't been disproved, even after all this time. For emphasis, according to Coan, the sources
provided in manual of the MBTI itself are of questionable validity (1978). True dichotomy in the
personality types provided has no empirical evidence, therefore . The reliability, or consistency, of
the MBTI is under scrutiny because there has been evidence, through the test–retest method of
testing reliability, to show results out of favor of the MBTI having strong reliability. It has been
shown that, through test–retest, whether the interval is short or long, the same person will yield
different results than their original test (Boyle, 1993). Two people might score extremely similarly
on the test, but yield wildly different results due to the dichotomous nature of the answers and

Personality Theories And Social Learning Theories Fit That...
Many times when discussing psychology, people do so in the abstract. In spite of years of research
and study, there are discussions on the veracity of the theories already in play. One can put that
down to the nature of the human mind. A psychologist does not have the same luxury a physicist
does in his or her research. In that regard, there are theories that may at times seem to be conflicting.
The two families of trait theories and social learning theories fit that bill. This paper shall look at the
two, analyze the main proponents and then relate them to policy and everyday life.
One of the foremost authorities on trait theory is Eysenck. He worked at the Maudsley Psychiatric
Hospital where his task was to make the initial assessment of anyone admitted. After several years,
he developed a questionnaire with which he would interrogate his patients. He then applied the
questionnaire to 700 soldiers and solidified his evidence. He found that the answers seemed to
reveal a lot about the personality traits of each soldier (Gergen, 1973). He then assigned a weight to
the answers and called them factors. He created two broad categories with which the various traits
tallied and presented the results to the world. His work still influences psychology today.
Burrhus Frederic Skinner is often touted as the most influential person in modern psychology. He
was more concerned with studying what was observable as opposed to focusing on the abstract
'mind'. He was of the idea that

Bad Morning Langston Hughes Analysis
1. Langston Hughes' use of language in his poem, "Bad Morning," parallels its subject flawlessly.
The poem speaks of frustration, weariness, and tension, a tension that Hughes mimics in the first
line. The poem begins with a simple, "Here I Sit." Each simple, monosyllabic word appears rigid
and separate from the rest. Later in the poem, the speaker describes his shoes as being "mismated."
As opposed to the more common "mismatched," mismated has a strained quality. The use of the
hard "t" divides the word into a third syllable, making it sound clipped and tense. As the poem draws
to a close, the speaker voices his frustration outright. Hughes' use of "I's" instead of "I'm" gives the
phrase a more breathy quality, akin to that of a drained sigh. The linguistic subtleties that Hughes
employs gives the poem a sense of unity and flow, making the piece come together seamlessly. 2. At
the height of his career, many of J.M.W. Turner's pieces featured modes of transportation, expansive
skies, and bleak color schemes. One of Turner's most popular pieces, Peace–Burial ... Show more

Though painter J.M.W. Turner and Icelandic pop artist Bjork may seem an unlikely pair, Turner's
Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying proves a fair companion to Bjork's "Quicksand".
The painting juxtaposes shades of red, yellow, and brown. A ship in the background, sailing in front
of a golden sky. Turbid water fills the foreground, in which the bodies of dead and dying slaves can
be made out. Towards the end of the song, Bjork sings: "We are the siblings of the sun, let's step into
this beam." This lyric parallels the yellow hues in Turner's painting, as well as the reflection of
sunlight in the murky water. She continues with, "Every time you give up, you take away our future,
and my continuity, and my daughter's, and her daughter's." The phrase is reminiscent of the slaves,

Heroes of the Ages
Throughout the ages, there have been many epic heroes in which we hear about through stories.
However, there is a rather common question of what makes them an epic hero. Not only do humans
look for the bravery and good deeds in a hero, but they go deeper than that. They wish to know what
lies beneath the skin. Literally, what makes them act the way they do. Psychologically speaking,
there is no sure way to tell why each person acts the way they do. However, what people can
analyze is the actions within a story. Of the numerous heroes in which one could extrapolate upon,
there are a few who are ideal for finding the true characteristics that make a hero, those being:

Ironically, he is quoted as saying, "I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I
know nothing." (Plato). As it is found that Robert Eisner says, "Hence many of the traditional traits
of the Homeric warrior are found in the Platonic Socrates, but they have been substantially modified
to sustain the new philosophic content of the hero's role." (Eisner). Socrates never fights in epic
battles or goes to far off places. However, Socrates does develop the top thoughts in philosophy for
ages to come. He is still remembered today as the greatest philosophy. Socrates is aptly named the
Father of Philosophy because he is still remembered even to this day.
Next in line in the search for characteristics is a sort of obscured man named Gilgamesh. Though he
seems a bit selfish in that he wishes to live forever, it is in fact simply fear that drives him to such an
act. However, he does show tremendous appreciation for his friend and is extremely sad when he
does. As the poems relate, "How can I rest when Enkidu whom I love is dust and I shall too die and
be laid in the earth for ever?" (Gilgamesh). As also seen here, Gilgamesh has the fundamental fear
that makes him seem almost human, that he will someday die. Gilgamesh learns to overcome this
fear and accept that he is human, thus he shows the trait of acceptance. As N. Sandars says, "At the

eventually lead to your death? And before you choose to dismiss this claim, here are some things

She discovered that "people who ate more sugar still had higher cardiovascular mortality." As if
heart disease wasn't bad enough, Doctors have recently compared the addiction to sugar being the
same as the addiction to cocaine. The research has shown that sugar could be as addictive as some
street drugs and have similar effects on the brain. Cassie Bjork, MD., founder of
healthysimplelife.com discovered through research that sugar can be even more addicting than
cocaine. Dr. Bjork goes into explaining that "dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a key part of the
reward circuit associated with addictive behavior. When a certain behavior causes an excess release
of dopamine, you feel a pleasurable high that you are inclined to re–experience." While consuming
sugar, one can simply refer to it as a condiment and that it is necessary in our meals. What they're
failing to realize is it has the same psychological effects as using cocaine. It messes with your brain
in the same way, but doesn't give you the negative side effects of cocaine. Sugar activates the reward
center in our brain the same way drugs do and provoke similar cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Alan Greene, Md., a children's health and wellness expert has mentioned that the addiction to sugar
can be even harder to break due to how it affects our stress hormones. This would make sense since
sugar is widely more accepted in our society than drugs and alcohol.

Question 1
Introduction
The information gathered from the grapevine had shown unhappiness and high stress level of the
employees since Bjork started working in the company. Ever since Bjork joined the work force, she
gave a rather bad impression towards the employees who had witnessed Bjork's ill–mannered
behaviour towards Wong. When she was promoted to the supervisor position to replace Wong for his

This can actually reduces the anxiety of the employees by giving them information in advanced
which can be crucial to them.
Higher management can also learn what employees' social needs and their feelings informally in
order to manage or solve if there is any misunderstanding encountered among a group. And in times,
grapevine can also get information externally to which can indirectly benefit the company.
Question 1(iii)
In the case, Wong did not inform Bjork about his retirement. And when Beethoven Huang
announced Bjork's promotion, Wong merely gave a stifled congratulatory comment and left the
room, which was out of Bjork's expectation. These already showed some unhappiness from Wong.
Shortly after that, Wong reported sick and did not come back to work for many days which was
unusual as it was not his style to take long period off. However, Beethoven Huang found that Wong
was in good condition when he paid a visit to him. Hence, it was apparent that Wong purposely
absented himself from work even when the company needed him.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it showed how a supervisor without people skills can affect the mood, morale and
motivation of the employees, which will eventually have bad effects on the company. However, with
the implementation of feedback system, it helped the management to gain some positive comments

A Study On Sedation Management Essay
Literature Review
Original research related to sedation management occurred in the year 2000 by Kress, Pohlman, O '
Connor, and Hall. Their findings served as a landmark study and initiated the impetus related to
improving our sedation practices. According to Kress et al. (2000), daily interruption of sedation led
to a decrease in the number of days on the ventilator in the intensive care unit. Several studies since
this time have focused on the influence of sedation protocols, and outcomes. This paper will review
the synthesis of the discovered studies and highlight the noted contraindications and inconsistencies.
Also, explanations including a preliminary conclusion will be discussed.

apparent, you have no responsibility beyond that of faithfully carrying out the directions received"

For example in one study it shows "despite the knowledge that caring does positively influence
patients and nurses, there are reports globally about the negative impact of uncaring and the call to
improve caring within our profession (Mary E. Desmond, et al., 2014). If every single patient was
like the other we wouldn't need to have a theory of caring, patients would be treated the same, a
patient is a patient, no difference from one to the other. This is not the case. So using nursing theory
to improve and move forward nursing knowledge as it has done so far can only improve an ever
changing care continuum that is known as nursing. This is how theory has changed and molded
nursing knowledge and how we practice. Works Cited Ida T. Bjork, K. L.–M. (2013, October). From

Several studies have shown that injection drug users lower their risk of transmitting infectious

whether or not the amounts of time needles are returned to the exchange programs are harmful to
communities. The Journal of Public Health, conducted surveys, evidence from needle exchange
sites, jails, and institutions that needle exchange programs are effective in reducing illnesses such as

injection drug use, not only heightens the risk for HIV and AID's, there is also an increase in
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. However, there studies showed that there is not an increase rate of
cancer diagnoses due to injection drug use. In a study conducted by Bonar and Rosenberg (2014),

Information literacy was measured with a Web–based instrument. The municipality managed the

assessment at the beginning of the first semester when students started their upper secondary
education.
Information literacy was calculated with 27 items. Four different types of tasks were used: multiple–
choice, hot spot assignments, inserting text and drag–and–drop tasks. Here are examples of some of
the questions:
1) Students were asked about pollution, and they were given four different options in a multiple–
choice question. 2) Students were asked the birth year of a known Norwegian person. They had to
use the Internet, and then write, or copy and paste, the birth year into a text recognition field. 3)
Students had to find information from a table, and they had to click on the right information. The

competence is what bridges the gap between skills such as reading, writing and mathematics, and
the skills required for the use of new digital tools and media in a creative and critical manner".
The findings confirm that there is a clear divide in learners´ digital literacy practices and skills.

Abstract This paper provides a brief summary on the studies of interleaving practices and their
implementations. In this paper interleaving practices are compared and contrasted with blocked
practices. Blocked practice is when a learner performs a single practice task over and over again in
the learning process, with repetition being the key. Interleaved practice, or varied practice, is when
the learner works on random practice tasks varied over time. The random tasks are interleaved with
each other as the learning session unfolds, forcing the learner to be alert and attentive to the
changing nature of the tasks. Earlier research focused on interleaving practices effects on motor
skills. This research showed that learning was greater with the implementation of interleaved
practices as opposed to block practices. Current research involving interleaving practices in
cognitive function, though limited, have shown some promising results in increasing the
effectiveness of learning. This paper examines some popular studies on interleaving practices.
Though effective in certain contexts, interleaving has not also been consistent in improving the
learning process. This may occur because of inconsistencies in methods and materials, and other
confounding factors. Overall, interleaving practices show much promise, and need to be further
studied so they can be

Translation Of Evidence And Practice
Translation of Evidence to Practice Does the compliance with a sedation protocol improve after
nurses receive a sedation competency over a three month period? The available data supported the
hypothesis that nursing education and competency can lead to consistent best practices and positive
outcomes for patients. The answers to this research question can help develop interventions that
support best practices for patients who are mechanically ventilated and receiving intravenous
sedation. The literature supported a positive impact on patient outcomes when sedation awakening
trials (SAT) and spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) were coordinated (Klompas et al., 2015, Woien
& Bjork, 2012, & Woien, Vaeroy, Aamodt, & Bjork, 2012). The literature also supported the
compliance of the coordination was more predictable when the nursing division was provided with
protocol education (Klompas et al., 2015, Woien & Bjork, 2012, & Woien, Vaeroy, Aamodt, &
Bjork, 2012). The summation of findings indicates that when education was integrated with the
research methods, the outcomes related to nursing compliance were consistent and led to the
completion of best practices. Nursing education was a controlled variable in research that found a
positive correlation with SAT and SBT and outcomes for patients. Additionally, research without
this controlled variable found inconsistencies with the performance of SAT/SBT and related

Appreciating experimental music and progressive music
In order to appreciate these two types of music, one must look at a bit of background of each. To
start, music has distinct elements that audience members should learn to identify and recognize in

music especially from the baroque period as well as a touch of folk. Whereas, experimental music is
often assigned to any music that strays outside of accepted classification or exploration of sounds
that the listener is not yet familiar with. This knowledge and information will help improve the

Inductive Learning Or Category Learning
People learn new information through the induction of categories, allowing for the recognition that
different stimuli are the same in a given way. Inductive learning involves recognition and
understanding of the similarities and differences among and between stimuli. To learn a new
category of information, exemplars belonging to a given category are conceptualized and grouped as
belonging to that category. Such learning is fundamental in human cognition, enabling persons to
categorize novel exemplars as instances of a given category or concept (Birnbaum, 2013). In a
typical study conducted on the topic of inductive learning or category learning, students are
presented with a set of exemplars belonging to a particular category and are subsequently asked to
identify and induce a general concept pertaining to the given set of observed exemplars (Zulkiply,
McLean, Burt, & Bath, 2012). Such exemplars may include nonsense syllables, words, sentences,
pictures and faces (Ebbinghaus, 1985/1913; Glenberg & Lehmann, 1980; Rothkopf & Coke, 1966;
Hintzman & Rogers, 1973; Cornell, 1980). Research on inductive learning shows that participants
learn category similarities and category differences from the way in which study stimuli are
presented to those participants.
In earlier studies on inductive learning, researchers examined the benefits of category learning for

Research Paper On Hypnosis
A common question is, what is hypnosis and how does it work? According to the American
Psychology Association hypnosis is a therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to
individuals who have undergone a procedure designed to relax them and focus their minds
(American Psychology Association, 2016). Hypnosis is called hypnotherapy and hypnotic
suggestion. James Braid, a 19th – century Scottish surgeon originated those terms based on the word
hypnos, which is Greek for "to sleep" (Harris, 2016).
When the person is hypnotized they feel calm and relaxed. The therapist using verbal repetition
makes them more open to suggestions. The individual being hypnotized is conscious but is able to
ignore the most of everything going on around them. When being hypnotized the person excludes all
other thoughts.

Connor, and Hall. Their findings served as a landmark study and initiated the impetus related to
improving our sedation practices. According to Kress et al. (2000), daily interruption of sedation led
to a decrease in the number of days on the ventilator in the intensive care unit. Several studies since
this time have focused on the influence of sedation protocols, and outcomes. This paper will review
the synthesis of the discovered studies and highlight the noted contraindications and inconsistencies.

Selma, however, harbours a dark secret. She is afflicted with a hereditary blinding disease that eats
away at her sight as she grows older. She works horrendous hours of every day and night to save up
to pay for an operation that will give her son the chance of a life free of blindness. Selma is saved
from the crushing sadness of her existence by music. Music she hears on the factory floor, the
passing train, echoed footfalls, the air shaft in the wall. Every time she hears or feels a beat she
imagines herself breaking into a spontaneous song and dance routine like she had seen so many
times in her childhood. Any rhythmic sound source is likely to elevate her to the world of musicals.
Sounds of her surroundings are the bass line to an extravagant musical fantasy world, this not only
allows her to break away from the horrors of the situations she finds herself in, but also allows Von

Abstract
Using the retrieval–practice paradigm (Anderson, R. A. Bjork, & E. L. Bjork, 1994), it was tested
whether or not retrieval–induced forgetting could be found in item recognition test in terms of RT
and accuracy. In this experiment retrieval practice on items from semantic categories depressed
recognition of non–practiced items from the same categories reflected in terms of RT and accuracy.
Also the results are consistent with the hypothesis that the accuracy in recognition of rp+ (Practiced
items from practice categories) items will be highest followed by nrp (Unpracticed items for the
unpracticed categories) items and lowest for rp– (Unpracticed items from the practiced categories)
items. The reaction time in recognition task will be lowest for rp+ item followed by nrp items and
highest for rp– items.
Introduction
Memory is power in which the mind stores and remembers information. Memory is a process in
which information is encoded stored and retrieved for later usage. Forgetting is an apparent loss of
information already encoded and stored in an individual's memory. It is a spontaneous process
wherein old memories are unable to be recalled from memory storage. Active forgetting can be
stated as an evidence for functional inhibition as a source of one's memory failure. (Anderson,

The Memory System Essay example
Memories are creative recollections of past experiences that are unique to each individual. They
define us and give us our identity. Memories are a collection of information, which at one time was
new to us, and as we learned and progressed, that information became stored as memory. The main
fact to memory is that practice and repetition is a key asset to making the brain encode the
information as memory. When the brain encodes this information it is stored, waiting to be retrieved.
When we memorize something, it is stored for a certain amount of time in the brain, the more we
recall this information the more familiar we become with it, making it easier to remember and recall
later in life. The process of memory is still a mystery, but ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

While yet it is the most complex process neuroscience has ever tried to define. Most theorists
believe that the brain encodes information in two different types, motor–skills memory and factual
memory. Motor–skills memory is the memorization of functions like running, walking, or eating.
While factual memory is associated with the memorization of telephone number, names, places, and
experiences. Some theorists believe this is the basic foundation to memories. Associated with these
two types are three levels, Sensory memory, Short–term memory, and Long–term memory. Sensory
memory is the level, which absorbs the things around us using the five main senses, sight, smell,
touch, sound, and taste. This level of memory is thought to only last a matter of seconds, and only
moves on to the next level if enough attention is given to the information. (Baddeley, 1976) If not
enough attention is given to the information it is ignored by the brain and forgotten. (Howe, 1983)
The second level of memory is the Short–term memory. This level is believed to only have a
capacity of 7 items, and have a duration time of no more than thirty seconds. (Bjork, 1996) When
memories in the short–term are used more and more it sends it to the next level, but again this is
only done by practice or repetition. A way for most people to remember more things, in the short–
term is called "Chunking." This is where someone will

The Life You Can Save Rhetorical Analysis
Peter Singer starts his ethical debate by essentially trapping readers into an ethical paradox. Singer

reason for not saving a child's life," to guilt readers, even if for an admirable cause, into becoming
sympathetic for Singer's utilitarian mission ("The Life You Can Save," Singer). Singer makes the
logical assumption that all human lives hold equal value, even when not drowning right in front of
you. Yet, he claims, we repeatedly choose to put more value into the lives of those right in front of
us, as we let "nearly 10 million children under five years old" die because of poverty ("The Life You

Humans are inherently hedonistic, with a need for more than the bare minimum. Paul Kurtz,
American professor argues that "happiness involves a combination of hedonism and creative moral
development; that an exuberant life fuses excellence and enjoyment, meaning and enrichment,
emotion and cognition." This is a more enriched and full view of human existence that Singer offers,
seeing as humans thrive off of more than just the bare minimum. Similarly, Aristotle claims that
"every instance of pleasure must be good to some extent," and thus, the notion that one should
sacrifice self–happiness in order to create a world that resembles a utopia is false. Aristotle's
argument is a counter to Singer's claim, seeing as Singer advocates for choosing a career that would
make more money in order to donate it to charity rather than doing it for selfish yet personally
fulfilling reasons ("Aristotle's Ethics," Kraut). Nicholas Kristof also faults Singer's logic, by asking
"where do we draw the line," a critique of the notion that Singer only donates one third of his
paycheck to various charities ("The Trader," Kristof). If we are truly to live an effectively altruistic
life, why not donate as much of his paycheck as possible so that he embodies meek living through
the pursuit of charity. While it could be argued that Singer is the push that many need to live a more

Metacognitive strategies have been shown to contribute to the success of students in universities by
helping them develop planning and self–monitoring skills. It was also proven that students who use
metacognition generally earn better grades, are more motivated and less likely to drop out because
they can handle the typical challenges of attending university such as: analyzing the course material
and evaluating what information is important to study and knowing which kind of learner they are
and consequently adjusting their learning strategies, better than most undergraduate students
(McCabe, 2010. & Thompson and Geren, 2002). Although metacognition is a self–initiated learning
process that requires the students to be actively and consciously trying to perform better in school in
order to be effective, it is important to mention that over 60% of young Canadians have attended a
post–secondary institution by the age of 19 (Zeman, 2003), which means that three students out of
five could benefit or show interest from learning metacognitive strategies in high school. Moreover,

Does Highlighting Have An Effect On Learning?
Does highlighting have an effect on learning? Is highlighting a good method to use to help learning?
Instead of using highlighting as their go to strategy, they should try something more useful, such as
practice testing that actually has a positive effect on learning. Highlighting is not effective at all
even though students tend to think that it works, and is effective.
Highlighting is one of the worst learning techniques that you can use as a learning strategy but
students like to use it. According to Fowler and Barker (1974), highlighting has no effect on their
performance in testing. Almost every study will show that highlighting has little to no effect at all
for the students studying and doing the highlighting. Students who read and highlight at the same
time is comparable to reading and not highlighting anything at all, then later getting tested over the
material and testing almost exactly the same. It may also cause mistakes of making connections and
drawing conclusions. The purpose of highlighting offers no benefit beyond simply reading the text.
Highlighting can get in the way of learning as it draws attention to individual facts instead of
looking at the big picture.

Problematic Drinking: A Literature Review
In comparison with result from the literature, the association between gain discounting and AUDIT
status was weak. Studies using one–item measures of discounting have found very small effects

maintaining, recovering, and applying information about episodes and events, when the original
material is not current (Goldstein, 2008, p. 136). This definition mean even if we have not just
experience that memory, our brain can go back in time and retrieve what has happened hours, days
or years ago. Retrieving memories from the brain is the process of relocating material from Long
Term Memory (LTM) back into working memory, where it becomes available through
consciousness (Goldstein, 2008, p. 197). Our brain is capable of retrieving information because it
has been encoded. Encoding is the process of obtaining information then converting it into
memories, in which goes onto our LTM (Goldstein, 2008, p. 196). The main claim of this essay is
that is that if a memory is encoded correctly, then that is all that is needed for memory failure or
success and the process of retrieving memories also relies on the encoding of the memory.
Meanwhile, this claim that encoding is all that is needed for memory failure or success was
researched by Craik and Lockhart (1972, as described by Goldstein, 2008, p.

Occupational Justice Theory Paper

  • 1. Occupational Justice Theory Paper Occupational justice theory. According to Causey–Upton (2015), participating in leisure activities has an enormous impact on the health and well–being of the aging population. "Occupational justice is a principle that compliments and extends social justice ideologies" (Causey–Upton, 2015, p. 177). "Occupational justice helps support the needs of people and communities so that they may participate in occupations of both necessity and choice as part of a moral and empowering society" (Causey–Upton, 2015, p. 177). Causey–Upton (2015) goes on to say that residents who live in nursing homes experience multiple forms of occupational injustice (p. 177). Some examples of occupational injustice are occupational imbalance, occupational deprivation, and occupational marginalization (table 2) (Causey–Upton, 2015). Causey–Upton (2015) also says that leisure activities offered in nursing homes may not include residents who are not provided with accommodations needed to meet their cognitive or physical needs. ...

Thriving theory is defined as "the ongoing process of growing through continuous human environment interactions resulting in social, physical, and psychological resilience and growth" (Haight, Barba, Tesh, & Courts, 2002, p. 18). A study done to chronicle the importance of everyday activity engagement for those residing in a nursing home and how it is related to thriving showed a positive association identified between the two. The most substantial influence in the nursing home resident thriving was the engagement in activities, dressing nicely, and spending time with someone who they enjoyed being around (Björk et al., 2017). Björk et al., (2017) states that participating in meaningful activities and having a positive relationship with others suggests that the research results are consistent with thriving theory and residents in nursing homes are shown to have a better quality of life by participating in engaging activities on a daily ...

There are a small chain of 78 French Polynesian islands referred to as Tuamotu that is located halfway between Australia and South America (Bowmaster, 2002).

The reef has gone through many natural disasters, and has been forced to expand and erode but has always been able to overcome them (Holland, 2011). In the wake of industrialization, which is tied to westernization, the ocean has become much more acidic and the phytoplankton population, which supports the ocean ecosystem, has severely decreased, causing the corals of the reef to become bleached and begin to die; oil spills and ship groundings have caused the reef to become scarred in parts as well (Holland, 2011). The reef is crucial to the economy of Australia and is beloved by the locals and due to the environmental impacts of westernization it is left in a vulnerable state, leaving the Australian aborigine culture vulnerable as well, as the two are directly linked (Holland, 2011). The Pribilof Islands in Alaska are inhabited by Aleutian people, who were brought there by the Russians and forced into service to kill sea mammals for their fur (Corbett & Swibold, 2000). These islands are vulnerable in many ways: in terms of diseases, environmental conditions, and their economy, all of which caused the imposition of capitalist societies to have a large impact on their cultural identity.

  • 3. Bjork 's Seven Studying Techniques Bjork's Seven Studying Techniques This study has come from cognitive psychologist who have done extensive research on the most effective ways of absorbing new information. The seven techniques of studying are allocating your attention efficiently, interpreting and elaborating on what you are trying to learn, making your studying a variable, studying a given item several times in intervals, visualizing information, then generating and retrieving. Using this techniques will properly improve your studying abilities. If you want to thoroughly be able to remember the information you are learning you must allocate your attention. Multitasking causes all activities or responsivities you are attempting to suffer. If you aren't focusing hard you will have trouble retaining the information. Your minds ability to ponder a topic for an extended period of time is restricted. Your brain may get bored and start to wander, making it difficult to recall the information later. Take breaks while studying to keep your mind focused on the task at hand. Interpretation and elaborating is a very important part of comprehending information. When interpreting information you are learning you must remember to relate the important points of information to yourself. Use "clues" to help you remember the material, understand and infer the lesson. You learn a topic in depth you are elaborating, processing into your own words.

  • 4. Reflection Paper My life once consisted of waking up, school, homework, church and going to bed only to do it all once again. When I was six, I moved across the Atlantic from Nigeria, and away from a life that I was told to appreciate, and classify as pure happiness. My first community was one that consisted of people that looked exactly like me, who had the strength to move mountains. I was taught to appreciate my culture as I watched my grandmother carry the load from the market on top of her head for the thirty minute walk from the market without any complaints. My mom was a working woman, and still found the time to raise me and take care of her family, without ever really taking a moment for herself. The strength that I was surrounded by would motivate me to be the best version of myself, and to work harder, despite any obstacles in my way. In America, I began to my search for my personal definition of happiness and success. This would lead me on a tangled and bumpy journey in which I have finally been able to begin to unravel a small segment of. For a while I was pulled into the American Dream and the what–every–African– immigrant–parent–wants–for–their–children stereotype aiming to please my mom because, after all, every parent wants the best for their kids. In my journey to escape this cocoon and the newly discovered stereotypes about black Americans living in Harlem, I discovered a program that would allow me to venture into a new chapter of my life and begin to experience the happiness I once sought. A Better Chance (ABC), drove me to experience new cultures, a new way of living, and different forms of thinking after living a life spent sheltered from reality in order to protect my innocence. ABC is a nonprofit organization that helps academically gifted young minorities get into private day schools and boarding schools. Another extension of ABC is the community school program, of which I am a member. As I became an A Better Chance scholar, the transition from life in New York City to life in Guilford would be a difficult, yet empowering one. For the first few weeks of school, I felt like an outsider looking into a school that was predominantly Caucasian with many of the students in my school having already ...

  • 5. Dancer In The Dark And The Piano Analysis Compare the ways in which Lars von Trier, in Dancer in the Dark, and Jane Campion in The Piano, explore the idea that hope can be found even in the midst of the most adverse circumstances. In the film, Dancer in the Dark, and the movie, The Piano, Lars von Trier and Jane Campion respectively utilise various literary and circumstances. The historical contextual settings of both texts encapsulate worlds of destruction in which the central female protagonists, Ada Mcgrath and Selma Jezkova, withstand the understanding between the native Maori people towards the scripted and sterile play – which served as a form of happiness and communal gathering for Victorian Europeans – suggests that different forms of expression such as drama and music often lacks understanding when compared to reality. Contrastingly, in the musical interludes, von Trier explores the idea that creativity brings a sense of connection and unity through the use of artificial lighting, saturated colour palette, non–diegetic sound track and head shots and long shots exposing a community singing, dancing and embracing. The vibrancy and liveliness in these musical scenes directly contrasts with the raw reduction in the 'reality' scenes and ultimately suggests that musicals create a hopeful and reconciliatory world where, contrasting Campion's, there is "always someone to catch you when you fall." While creativity provides an escape from harsh reality, both Campion and von Trier explore the idea that this is only ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Analysis Of Shakespeare 's ' Beowulf ' And ' The Evil ' 2016 The Good in Beowulf and the Evil in the Monsters Beowulf is considered to be the oldest surviving poem that is preserved to date. The poem is believed to date back to about the eighth century, and the written manuscript in the eleventh century (Bjork and Obermeir 17; Neidorf 119). Also, Beowulf is commonly believed to be set in Scandinavia before the migration to Britain, even though there are Anglo–Saxon and Scandinavian cultural influences that are apparent when reading the poems storyline (Earl 19). The storyline encompasses aspects of the Geats, the Danes, and the Swedes. Throughout the poem there are many themes and ideas that make this one of the greatest stories ever told and written. One major theme throughout the storyline is the goodness of Beowulf and the evil of the monsters. According to J. S. Mackenzie, the modern concept of good and evil is that the two are relative opposites (Mackenzie 254). Meaning in terms of the poem, Beowulf and the monsters are the ideal definition of good and evil. Beowulf is seen as the iconic hero that brings balance and restoration to the land. He is literally a knight in shining armor. While the monsters represent destruction and mayhem. Each monster is the epitome of all that is wicked and corrupt. The poet of Beowulf made a clear distinction between heroic Beowulf's good character and the evilness that embodies the three monsters (Robinson 79).

  • 7. Pros And Cons Of Myers Briggs Type Indicator Myers–Briggs Type Indicator Review Kiley Wilson Southwestern Oklahoma State University Introduction: The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was originally constructed to serve as a personality type indicator for personnel selection purposes.Today, usage is different from when the test was originally developed. The MBTI is now used for anyone that wants to know what their results would be, whether they need it or not. The test is available for professional administration, likely for a fee, and self administration, at no monetary cost. The test results can yield sixteen different combinations of the four dichotomous categories which include: extroverted (E) or introverted (I), intuitive (N) or sensing (S), thinking (T) or feeling (F), ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Validity, or the degree to which the test measures what it is constructed to measure, is called into question due to the construct itself. Arguments could be made about the MBTI that personality type is not a stable construct, it cannot be tested, it cannot be normed, it is too culturally biased, and that results cannot be ethically used for any decision making. These type of arguments are reasonable and haven't been disproved, even after all this time. For emphasis, according to Coan, the sources provided in manual of the MBTI itself are of questionable validity (1978). True dichotomy in the personality types provided has no empirical evidence, therefore . The reliability, or consistency, of the MBTI is under scrutiny because there has been evidence, through the test–retest method of testing reliability, to show results out of favor of the MBTI having strong reliability. It has been shown that, through test–retest, whether the interval is short or long, the same person will yield different results than their original test (Boyle, 1993). Two people might score extremely similarly on the test, but yield wildly different results due to the dichotomous nature of the answers and available ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 10. Personality Theories And Social Learning Theories Fit That... Many times when discussing psychology, people do so in the abstract. In spite of years of research and study, there are discussions on the veracity of the theories already in play. One can put that down to the nature of the human mind. A psychologist does not have the same luxury a physicist does in his or her research. In that regard, there are theories that may at times seem to be conflicting. The two families of trait theories and social learning theories fit that bill. This paper shall look at the two, analyze the main proponents and then relate them to policy and everyday life. One of the foremost authorities on trait theory is Eysenck. He worked at the Maudsley Psychiatric Hospital where his task was to make the initial assessment of anyone admitted. After several years, he developed a questionnaire with which he would interrogate his patients. He then applied the questionnaire to 700 soldiers and solidified his evidence. He found that the answers seemed to reveal a lot about the personality traits of each soldier (Gergen, 1973). He then assigned a weight to the answers and called them factors. He created two broad categories with which the various traits tallied and presented the results to the world. His work still influences psychology today. Burrhus Frederic Skinner is often touted as the most influential person in modern psychology. He was more concerned with studying what was observable as opposed to focusing on the abstract 'mind'.

  • 11. Bad Morning Langston Hughes Analysis 1. Langston Hughes' use of language in his poem, "Bad Morning," parallels its subject flawlessly. The poem speaks of frustration, weariness, and tension, a tension that Hughes mimics in the first line. The poem begins with a simple, "Here I Sit." Each simple, monosyllabic word appears rigid and separate from the rest. Later in the poem, the speaker describes his shoes as being "mismated." As opposed to the more common "mismatched," mismated has a strained quality. The use of the hard "t" divides the word into a third syllable, making it sound clipped and tense. As the poem draws to a close, the speaker voices his frustration outright. Hughes' use of "I's" instead of "I'm" gives the phrase a more breathy quality, akin to that of a drained sigh. The linguistic subtleties that Hughes employs gives the poem a sense of unity and flow, making the piece come together seamlessly. 2. At the height of his career, many of J.M.W.

The painting juxtaposes shades of red, yellow, and brown. A ship in the background, sailing in front of a golden sky. Turbid water fills the foreground, in which the bodies of dead and dying slaves can be made out. Towards the end of the song, Bjork sings: "We are the siblings of the sun, let's step into this beam." This lyric parallels the yellow hues in Turner's painting, as well as the reflection of sunlight in the murky water. She continues with, "Every time you give up, you take away our future, and my continuity, and my daughter's, and her daughter's." The phrase is reminiscent of the slaves, floating in the water.

Not only do humans look for the bravery and good deeds in a hero, but they go deeper than that. They wish to know what lies beneath the skin. Literally, what makes them act the way they do. Psychologically speaking, there is no sure way to tell why each person acts the way they do. However, what people can analyze is the actions within a story.

As it is found that Robert Eisner says, "Hence many of the traditional traits of the Homeric warrior are found in the Platonic Socrates, but they have been substantially modified to sustain the new philosophic content of the hero's role." (Eisner). Socrates never fights in epic battles or goes to far off places. However, Socrates does develop the top thoughts in philosophy for ages to come. He is still remembered today as the greatest philosophy. Socrates is aptly named the Father of Philosophy because he is still remembered even to this day. Next in line in the search for characteristics is a sort of obscured man named Gilgamesh. Though he seems a bit selfish in that he wishes to live forever, it is in fact simply fear that drives him to such an act. However, he does show tremendous appreciation for his friend and is extremely sad when he does. As the poems relate, "How can I rest when Enkidu whom I love is dust and I shall too die and be laid in the earth for ever?" (Gilgamesh). As also seen here, Gilgamesh has the fundamental fear that makes him seem almost human, that he will someday die.

As if heart disease wasn't bad enough, Doctors have recently compared the addiction to sugar being the same as the addiction to cocaine. The research has shown that sugar could be as addictive as some street drugs and have similar effects on the brain. Cassie Bjork, MD., founder of healthysimplelife.com discovered through research that sugar can be even more addicting than cocaine. Dr. Bjork goes into explaining that "dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a key part of the reward circuit associated with addictive behavior. When a certain behavior causes an excess release of dopamine, you feel a pleasurable high that you are inclined to re–experience." While consuming sugar, one can simply refer to it as a condiment and that it is necessary in our meals. What they're failing to realize is it has the same psychological effects as using cocaine. It messes with your brain in the same way, but doesn't give you the negative side effects of cocaine. Sugar activates the reward center in our brain the same way drugs do and provoke similar cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

For example in one study it shows "despite the knowledge that caring does positively influence patients and nurses, there are reports globally about the negative impact of uncaring and the call to improve caring within our profession (Mary E. Desmond, et al., 2014). If every single patient was like the other we wouldn't need to have a theory of caring, patients would be treated the same, a patient is a patient, no difference from one to the other. This is not the case. So using nursing theory to improve and move forward nursing knowledge as it has done so far can only improve an ever changing care continuum that is known as nursing. This is how theory has changed and molded nursing knowledge and how we practice. Works Cited Ida T. Bjork, K. L.–M. (2013, October).

The municipality managed the online assessment, and the upper secondary schools were responsible for implementing the assessment at the beginning of the first semester when students started their upper secondary education. Information literacy was calculated with 27 items. Four different types of tasks were used: multiple– choice, hot spot assignments, inserting text and drag–and–drop tasks. Here are examples of some of the questions: 1) Students were asked about pollution, and they were given four different options in a multiple– choice question. 2) Students were asked the birth year of a known Norwegian person. They had to use the Internet, and then write, or copy and paste, the birth year into a text recognition field. 3) Students had to find information from a table, and they had to click on the right information.

  • 21. Practices : A Possible Benefit Interleaved Practices: A Possible Benefit to the Learning Process Forrest E. Crain University of Idaho Abstract This paper provides a brief summary on the studies of interleaving practices and their implementations. In this paper interleaving practices are compared and contrasted with blocked practices. Blocked practice is when a learner performs a single practice task over and over again in the learning process, with repetition being the key. Interleaved practice, or varied practice, is when the learner works on random practice tasks varied over time. The random tasks are interleaved with each other as the learning session unfolds, forcing the learner to be alert and attentive to the changing nature of the tasks. Earlier research focused on interleaving practices effects on motor skills. This research showed that learning was greater with the implementation of interleaved practices as opposed to block practices. Current research involving interleaving practices in cognitive function, though limited, have shown some promising results in increasing the effectiveness of learning. This paper examines some popular studies on interleaving practices. Though effective in certain contexts, interleaving has not also been consistent in improving the learning process. This may occur because of inconsistencies in methods and materials, and other confounding factors. Overall, interleaving practices show much promise, and need to be further studied so they can be ...

  • 22. Translation Of Evidence And Practice Translation of Evidence to Practice Does the compliance with a sedation protocol improve after nurses receive a sedation competency over a three month period? The available data supported the hypothesis that nursing education and competency can lead to consistent best practices and positive outcomes for patients. The answers to this research question can help develop interventions that support best practices for patients who are mechanically ventilated and receiving intravenous sedation. The literature supported a positive impact on patient outcomes when sedation awakening trials (SAT) and spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) were coordinated (Klompas et al., 2015, Woien & Bjork, 2012, & Woien, Vaeroy, Aamodt, & Bjork, 2012). The literature also supported the compliance of the coordination was more predictable when the nursing division was provided with protocol education (Klompas et al., 2015, Woien & Bjork, 2012, & Woien, Vaeroy, Aamodt, & Bjork, 2012). The summation of findings indicates that when education was integrated with the research methods, the outcomes related to nursing compliance were consistent and led to the completion of best practices. Nursing education was a controlled variable in research that found a positive correlation with SAT and SBT and outcomes for patients. Additionally, research without this controlled variable found inconsistencies with the performance of SAT/SBT and related outcomes. As a result, the particular relationship between ...

  • 25. Inductive Learning Or Category Learning People learn new information through the induction of categories, allowing for the recognition that different stimuli are the same in a given way. Inductive learning involves recognition and understanding of the similarities and differences among and between stimuli. To learn a new category of information, exemplars belonging to a given category are conceptualized and grouped as belonging to that category. Such learning is fundamental in human cognition, enabling persons to categorize novel exemplars as instances of a given category or concept (Birnbaum, 2013). In a typical study conducted on the topic of inductive learning or category learning, students are presented with a set of exemplars belonging to a particular category and are subsequently asked to identify and induce a general concept pertaining to the given set of observed exemplars (Zulkiply, McLean, Burt, & Bath, 2012).

  • 31. Notes On Retrieval Induced Forgetting Experiment 6 Retrieval induced forgetting Aarti N. Shah Roll Number: 21 MA–I University of Mumbai Department of Applied Psychology and Counseling Centre Abstract Using the retrieval–practice paradigm (Anderson, R. A. Bjork, & E. L. Bjork, 1994), it was tested whether or not retrieval–induced forgetting could be found in item recognition test in terms of RT and accuracy. In this experiment retrieval practice on items from semantic categories depressed recognition of non–practiced items from the same categories reflected in terms of RT and accuracy. Also the results are consistent with the hypothesis that the accuracy in recognition of rp+ (Practiced items from practice categories) items will be highest followed by nrp (Unpracticed items for the unpracticed categories) items and lowest for rp– (Unpracticed items from the practiced categories) items. The reaction time in recognition task will be lowest for rp+ item followed by nrp items and highest for rp– items. Introduction Memory is power in which the mind stores and remembers information. Memory is a process in which information is encoded stored and retrieved for later usage. Forgetting is an apparent loss of information already encoded and stored in an individual's memory. It is a spontaneous process wherein old memories are unable to be recalled from memory storage. Active forgetting can be stated as an evidence for functional inhibition as a source of one's memory failure. (Anderson, 1994). There ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 32. The Memory System Essay example Memories are creative recollections of past experiences that are unique to each individual. They define us and give us our identity. Memories are a collection of information, which at one time was new to us, and as we learned and progressed, that information became stored as memory. The main fact to memory is that practice and repetition is a key asset to making the brain encode the information as memory. When the brain encodes this information it is stored, waiting to be retrieved. When we memorize something, it is stored for a certain amount of time in the brain, the more we recall this information the more familiar we become with it, making it easier to remember and recall later in life. The process of memory is still a mystery, but ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While yet it is the most complex process neuroscience has ever tried to define. Most theorists believe that the brain encodes information in two different types, motor–skills memory and factual memory. Motor–skills memory is the memorization of functions like running, walking, or eating. While factual memory is associated with the memorization of telephone number, names, places, and experiences. Some theorists believe this is the basic foundation to memories. Associated with these two types are three levels, Sensory memory, Short–term memory, and Long–term memory. Sensory memory is the level, which absorbs the things around us using the five main senses, sight, smell, touch, sound, and taste. This level of memory is thought to only last a matter of seconds, and only moves on to the next level if enough attention is given to the information. (Baddeley, 1976) If not enough attention is given to the information it is ignored by the brain and forgotten. (Howe, 1983) The second level of memory is the Short–term memory. This level is believed to only have a capacity of 7 items, and have a duration time of no more than thirty seconds. (Bjork, 1996) When memories in the short–term are used more and more it sends it to the next level, but again this is only done by practice or repetition. A way for most people to remember more things, in the short– term is called "Chunking." This is where someone will ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 33. The Life You Can Save Rhetorical Analysis Peter Singer starts his ethical debate by essentially trapping readers into an ethical paradox. Singer argues that, "how could anyone consider a pair of shoes, or missing an hour or two at work, a good reason for not saving a child's life," to guilt readers, even if for an admirable cause, into becoming sympathetic for Singer's utilitarian mission ("The Life You Can Save," Singer). Singer makes the logical assumption that all human lives hold equal value, even when not drowning right in front of you. Yet, he claims, we repeatedly choose to put more value into the lives of those right in front of us, as we let "nearly 10 million children under five years old" die because of poverty ("The Life You Can Save," Singer). Singer then goes on to address ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Humans are inherently hedonistic, with a need for more than the bare minimum. Paul Kurtz, American professor argues that "happiness involves a combination of hedonism and creative moral development; that an exuberant life fuses excellence and enjoyment, meaning and enrichment, emotion and cognition." This is a more enriched and full view of human existence that Singer offers, seeing as humans thrive off of more than just the bare minimum. Similarly, Aristotle claims that "every instance of pleasure must be good to some extent," and thus, the notion that one should sacrifice self–happiness in order to create a world that resembles a utopia is false. Aristotle's argument is a counter to Singer's claim, seeing as Singer advocates for choosing a career that would make more money in order to donate it to charity rather than doing it for selfish yet personally fulfilling reasons ("Aristotle's Ethics," Kraut). Nicholas Kristof also faults Singer's logic, by asking "where do we draw the line," a critique of the notion that Singer only donates one third of his paycheck to various charities ("The Trader," Kristof). If we are truly to live an effectively altruistic life, why not donate as much of his paycheck as possible so that he embodies meek living through the pursuit of charity. While it could be argued that Singer is the push that many need to live a more ethically flawless life, many people are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

College Students: A Metacognitive Analysis Metacognition: a Missing Tool in the Undergraduate's box Metacognition, the process of thinking about thinking, is an essential tool to possess for university students. When metacognitive strategies such as planning, monitoring and evaluating are actively used during the process of learning and studying, it becomes easier for the student to determine the steps that need to be taken in order to either ameliorate or to maintain the same results as previously attained (Soiferman, 2015). However, in a study led by Kornell and Bjork (2007) it was found that most undergraduate students tend to overestimate how well they would perform on assignments and exams.

Metacognitive strategies have been shown to contribute to the success of students in universities by helping them develop planning and self–monitoring skills. It was also proven that students who use metacognition generally earn better grades, are more motivated and less likely to drop out because they can handle the typical challenges of attending university such as: analyzing the course material and evaluating what information is important to study and knowing which kind of learner they are and consequently adjusting their learning strategies, better than most undergraduate students (McCabe, 2010. & Thompson and Geren, 2002). Although metacognition is a self–initiated learning process that requires the students to be actively and consciously trying to perform better in school in order to be effective, it is important to mention that over 60% of young Canadians have attended a post–secondary institution by the age of 19 (Zeman, 2003), which means that three students out of five could benefit or show interest from learning metacognitive strategies in high school.

  • 35. Does Highlighting Have An Effect On Learning? Does highlighting have an effect on learning? Is highlighting a good method to use to help learning? Instead of using highlighting as their go to strategy, they should try something more useful, such as practice testing that actually has a positive effect on learning. Highlighting is not effective at all even though students tend to think that it works, and is effective. Highlighting is one of the worst learning techniques that you can use as a learning strategy but students like to use it. According to Fowler and Barker (1974), highlighting has no effect on their performance in testing. Almost every study will show that highlighting has little to no effect at all for the students studying and doing the highlighting. Students who read and highlight at the same time is comparable to reading and not highlighting anything at all, then later getting tested over the material and testing almost exactly the same. It may also cause mistakes of making connections and drawing conclusions. The purpose of highlighting offers no benefit beyond simply reading the text. Highlighting can get in the way of learning as it draws attention to individual facts instead of looking at the big picture. Highlighting information yourself if more effective, but does not increase test scores. The second study conducted by Fowler & Barker (1974) showed the same thing even when the researchers pitched what would be highlighted.

There is a third assumption and it is said to be critical is that following practiced phase, items that recalled successfully in the initial practice tests have more of an impact on recall then or items re– studied and found that there is no difference in terms of strengths in memory. It is further assumed that under some circumstances– non–recalled items are left with the same strength may be unrelated given by the evidence for retrieval induced forgetting (MC Anderson, Bjork, and Bjork,1992). Testing – Testing shows the material practiced, learned and the recall process. The limitations of testing are static analysis as well as model checking. Tests are not always better than re–studying. Re–Testing– Re–Testing is using the same testing theory and redoing or replicating the process with the same information formatted differently. The purpose of retesting is when the initial test is failed, or the scores shows that information was not learned, verified or retained.

  • 38. Problematic Drinking: A Literature Review In comparison with result from the literature, the association between gain discounting and AUDIT status was weak. Studies using one–item measures of discounting have found very small effects (Reimers, Maylor, Stewart, & Chater, 2009; Rossow, 2008), but typical effect sizes for comparisons of controls and different classifications of problematic drinking are about d = –0.5 or higher (Bjork, Hommer, Grant, & Danube, 2004; Field, Christiansen, Cole, & Goudie, 2007; MacKillop et al., 2011; Vuchinich & Simpson, 1998). The present results are more in line with some of the larger studies in the literature. Results on gain discounting from a study of 121 alcohol dependent and 98 controls corresponded to a group difference of d = –0.18, 95%CI[–0.45, 0.08] (Bobova, Finn, Rickert, & Lucas, 2009), and a study employing a large Mturk sample of 523 non–problem drinkers and 269 hazardous–to–harmful drinkers (based on AUDIT score of 8+) reported group differences corresponding to d = –0.16, 95%CI[0.02, 0.31] (Bickel et al., 2012), almost identical to the figure derived from the present data. The effect size for smoking in the current study was also smaller than reported in past literature (MacKillop et al., 2011) but seems to be in line with results from other large studies (Jarmolowicz, Bickel, Carter, Franck, & Mueller, 2012; Sweitzer et al., 2008). ...

  • 40. How Memories From The Brain Is Capable Of Retrieving... "Every time I learn the name of a student, I forget the name of a fish" was once said by David Jordan, the president of Stanford University (Anderson, Bjork & Bjork, 2000). This statement is interesting because it brings up the idea of the amount of information one can consume and maintain available at any given time; this information is put into memory. Memory is the process of maintaining, recovering, and applying information about episodes and events, when the original material is not current (Goldstein, 2008, p. 136). This definition mean even if we have not just experience that memory, our brain can go back in time and retrieve what has happened hours, days or years ago. Retrieving memories from the brain is the process of relocating material from Long Term Memory (LTM) back into working memory, where it becomes available through consciousness (Goldstein, 2008, p. 197). Our brain is capable of retrieving information because it has been encoded. Encoding is the process of obtaining information then converting it into memories, in which goes onto our LTM (Goldstein, 2008, p. 196). The main claim of this essay is that is that if a memory is encoded correctly, then that is all that is needed for memory failure or success and the process of retrieving memories also relies on the encoding of the memory. Meanwhile, this claim that encoding is all that is needed for memory failure or success was researched by Craik and Lockhart (1972, as described by Goldstein, 2008, p. ...
