Looking at the case there would have been a high level of anxiety amongst the witnesses when they were interviewed on site as they would have been in shock at what had happened, thus the inconsistencies with their statements.The Yerkes-Dodson law provides evidence to support my statement. It showed, that when there were low or very high levels of anxiety memory recall was low, and when a moderate amount of anxiety was evident the memory recall was the best. This proves that the high level of anxiety in the witnesses in their first statement may have corrupted the overall result of the case. Further studies by Elizabeth Loftus also support the fact that anxiety plays a major role in a EWT. She staged an experiment in which participants (Ps) were put in two different situations.
1. Group pressure and conformity is where individuals in a group with one or more individual pressures another individual to believe what the rest of the group is saying instead of going with what you as an individual believes in. (Boss, 2010 Pg 121) When evaluating the Milgram Experiment, normal everyday Americans kept delivering lethal doses of electrical shocks because the researcher told them to do so regardless of how strong the shocks were getting. Evaluating this experiment from a perspective of group pressure and conformity, the subject kept delivering the shocks due to the pressure from the researcher even if they did not believe what was happening was ethical. This affected the results of the experiment because it shows that we go along with group or an authority figure when we are being pressured instead of standing up for what we as individuals think is right from our individual point of view.
CCA: Comparing Slim and Curley Many interpret the characters of Slim and Curley as the antitheses of one another. However, the examiner (in this case, your teacher) will need to distinguish between the members of your class in terms of who can get the top mark through finding similarities as well as differences. Similarities * Both Curley and Slim demand respect through paralinguistic techniques designed by Steinbeck. Because the book was initially intended to be a play, there is an abundance of descriptive adjectives and stage directions. This lends itself to you because there is a lot of evidence to substantiate this point.
Also one of the biggest down falls to implementing the new system was training of the faculty and staff and also the trainers that were sent out to the school and the time constraints that they had. And lastly testing, more testing and make sure the system was working how the school needed it before implementing it to the area. When making a decision to buy new software you need to have a well written and detailed RFI from
I haven’t seen a film like this that criticizes the government only with facts and criticize what the government did wrong and should change. I really enjoyed watching the film but the one thing that bothered me was that it had too many opposing views against U.S.A. and President Bush. Every criticism did have good evidence behind it and made some sense but it looked as if the
Kayla McNutt Professor Williams English 1101-107 17 September 2013 The Obedience Test Stanley Milgram’s article, “The Perils of Obedience” focuses on the experiment he created to test society’s willingness to obey. In the experiment Milgram has one person who is a learner and another who delivers the shocks, the teacher. The focus of the experiment is on the person delivering the shocks because the “learner” is an actor. The learner’s role is to recite words to practice memorization. If he recites the words incorrectly the teacher has to administer a shock to the learner.
Another selection process is the background check. A background check may raise a red flag on certain candidates and save the potential employer certain headaches that are sure to come from hiring the wrong candidate. Drug tests, handwriting tests, knowledge tests, and various other forms of testing may eliminate the candidate who is marginal. The most widely used selection process is the face-to-face interview. Once the application is on file, the references have been called, the tests have been administered, and the elimination process has narrowed the candidate field, it is time for the interview.
Asch Experiment-the power of peer pressure The Asch Experiment was a vision test in which Solomon Asch wanted to determine how much a majority group’s pressure could affect how a person acts. To conduct this test, Asch gathered a group of male college students prior to the experiment and gave them instructions to incorrectly answer certain questions. The questions all consisted of two cards, one of which had a single line on it, another with three different labeled lines. The single, real participant was told that their goal was to match the line on the first card with the corresponding line on the second. All of the members were to answer out loud in order around the table.
Almost always their manipulation skills are exceptional. A study just published in the journal Legal and Criminal Psychology found that even though they are more likely than other criminals to re-offend, psychopathic criminals are two and a half times more likely than others to charm parole boards into releasing them. The root of the problem Many researchers now believe that the core defect in psychopathy—and what most distinguishes it from other antisocial behavior disorders—is what are called "callous/unemotional traits." A child who kicks another child because he's angry and can't control himself but feels terrible afterwards may be antisocial, but he's not psychopathic. It's the kid who does it and feels no remorse—or even gets angrier because the other child's crying is annoying—who's most worrisome.
Diana Grande Response Paper Okagaki & Sternburg’s Ideas Develop, Cognition, & Learning Dr. Templeton 10/22/2012 In “Putting the Distance into Student’s Hands: Practical Intelligence for School” by Lynn Okagaki and Robert J. Sternburg, the two authors discuss a new age idea for teaching in America’s schools, especially public schools. The two of them worked with Howard Gardner on a curriculum the three of them want to implement in junior high and high schools. This curriculum consists of many theories the three of them have come up with, like Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, Sternburg’s triarchic theory, also with sub theories. Okagaki, Gardner, and Sternburg’s theories contribute well to the curriculum the three of them would like to implement and it would help improve learning greatly by teaching students to take control of their own learning, learn tacit knowledge, and improve in studying and test-taking. Okagaki and Sternburg’s ideas discuss something called tacit knowledge.
