Because of the limited capacity of the STM, words from the middle of the list are thought to be lost completely or unavailable for recall. Case Study of K.F. - Shallice & Warrington (1970) I think that this study proves that the different parts of the multi-store model can be damaged separately because K.F's LTM was unaffected by the motorbike accident while his STM was severely damaged. Case Study of H.M. - Milner et al (1978) This study also supports the theory that the multi-store model can be affected as individual parts because while H.M's STM and LTM both worked almost normally, he lost the ability to transfer the information from the STM to the LTM, however he could recall information from the LTM to the
Even though it seems to be tricky estimating odds, trying to estimate value is even worse. Figuring out the value in things is determined in many different ways and similar to the errors in odds when our human behavior causes diversions. Figuring out the value in something should include a variation of corresponding factors. Instead of comparing the value to other similar items or situations we quickly compare to what we already are used to doing or paying in the past. What
In the $60k-$99999 category, Romney held a 51.3% to 45.3% advantage over Obama. Again, with the margin for error this category was almost a dead heat and detrimental to Romney in trying to make up the advantage that Obama gained with the $30k and under voters. Even more alarming for the Romney camp is the fact the he did demonstrate any type of advantage with the voters who earned $100k and over. In fact Obama actually out performed him with this sector at 48.9% to 48.2%. Very interesting to say the least, so while I notions of the lower income voters was upheld it was the three higher income groups of voters who proved me wrong entirely.
Describe how the cognitive approach has been applied to RET The cognitive approach believes that we are information processors. Our thinking and the way we process and interpret events can affect our behaviour particularly our mood. Therefore rational emotional therapy is linked to the approach because its attempts to change the way an individual interprets and thinks about certain events. Ret was devised by albert ellis in the 1950’s. it tries to tackle mustabatory thinking (the thinking that you must be good at everything and like by everyone) by trying to make the patient think more rationally about situations.
A flicker paradigm occurs when an original and a modified image continually alternate, one after the other, with a brief blank field between the two. This study consisted of measuring reaction time based on presenting a flashing stimulus then either changing the stimulus with one of the independent variables; with a color-presence- location change or placement change, centrally versus marginally. The study also consisted of measuring whether reaction time was quicker or slower based on these changes occurring centrally or marginally. Based on the idea that visual acuity is good only in small area straight ahead, where the image is focused on a part of the retina called the fovea (St. James, Schneider, & Eschman, 2005), I predicted that reaction time would be quicker when the change was located centrally within the
Axons connecting neurons would become longer and would make them fundamentally slower and would cost too much energy. Another “tweak” would be to increase interconnectedness by establishing more synapses between neurons, and enabling communication to become faster. Nevertheless, this would also consume too much energy. Third, Fox argues that by shrinking neurons and axons in the brain, communication speed would not be compromised and there would be more room for neuronal development. However, nature seems to have already made our axons as thin as they can functionally be.
Their research on change blindness used real world images and modified versions presented very quickly, intercepted by blank fields in a “flicker” sequence. They found that response times were faster if the change took place in an object of central interest compared to changes in objects of marginal interest, for all 3 different types of change
When I was taking the IAT, I did not feel that it was effortless and habitual, I found myself frequently forgetting which side each category was on and having to glance at them to remember. I felt like I was frequently expressing my explicit attitudes toward these words, but implicit attitudes are so hard to measure that maybe it really was my implicit attitude. Why did it provide opposite results then? This test is supposed to be able to measure my implicit attitude based significantly on my response time to categorizing various words into correct groups. I can understand the concept that we will respond quicker when two categories that we implicitly associate are grouped together.
My limiting style I feel is the “Humanistic-Encouraging” way of thinking. My 13 score in the humanistic-encouraging category puts me in the 1 percentile. This is an extremely low score and definably shows me something I need to improve. From the LSI survey, it is true that I can be uncomfortable interacting with others, I can be distant, I lack close relationships, and I can have trouble communicating. People with low score in the Humanistic-Encouraging tend to be detached from relationships and feel uncomfortable simply relating to people in general.
The former includes the phenomenon of the ‘figure-ground contrast’; that is, how we perceive objects distinctly from their surroundings. This can be studied via so-called projective tests. ‘Constancy’ is also a principle of perception; that is, objects maintain perceptual stability through transformations of various types, such as alterations in size and proportion. The most systematic attempt to study the organization of perceptual phenomena is probably that of the Gestalt (‘form’, ‘figure’, or ‘holistic’) psychologists, who emphasize the role of innate patterning in visual perception, although behaviourist approaches have also been influential, notably in America. (Scott & Marshall 2009) According to the Axia college week five reading Perception and Individual Decision Making (2005) “Perception is a process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment” (¶ 8).
