Outline and evaluate research into the effects of age and anxiety on E.W.T Eye witness testimony (E.W.T) is one type of memory that has particular relevance to real life. Juries and British police officers rely on eye witness testimony on a daily basis. E.W.T is criticised enough due to the effects of misleading questions (Loftus 1992.) However also there is a lot of research to suggest that E.W.T isn’t as reliable as previously thought, especially when other factors such as anxiety and age are applied. There’s evidence to prove that anxiety and stress has a conflicting effect on a witnesses recall.

Topic: Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMMD) Chanda J. Smith COUN: 5130- Behavior Disorders of Children and Adolescence Date: November 12, 2013 Abstract There is much controversy over the addition of Disruptive Mood Disregulation Disorder (DMDD) to the DSM with Bipolar Disorder (BD) being a subset of the diagnosis specifically as it relates to children. So many children are being diagnosed with BD; the fear is that it is excessive use, when there could be another diagnosis that is not even being considered. Described perfectly in an article by Demitri Papalos,
“Sensory information is gathered normally, but perceived abnormally and the information tends to be analyzed by the brain in an unusual way that may cause distress and confusion” (Patterson). This disorder may make it difficult for children to focus on learning. “Sensory integration dysfunction has only been recognized and named by any discipline during the last thirty-five years and the specific entity of sensory processing disorder has been clearly specified only since the year 2000” (Byrne). Bill Radford quotes Michael Kisley, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Colorado Springs who researches sensory issues: “Sensory-processing problems are very real, and they can be extremely debilitating, but sensory-processing disorder remains a controversial diagnosis.” Additional information and research is required to confirm whether or not sensory-processing disorder is different from other disorders with sensory-processing elements, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. “Some insurance companies don’t cover sensory-integration therapy, calling it experimental” (Redford).

Origins of Abnormal Psychology The deinstitutionalization movement began in the 1960s where the number of psychiatric hospitals radically decreased and conditions for patients improved drastically (Hansell & Damour, 2008). “The blunt realities of mental illness shatter our most deeply held convictions about the nature of human consciousness and behavior. The mentally ill are more different than us than we can imagine and more like us than we care to admit” (Bosco, p. 131). Past methods of treatment used to help the mentally ill has faced a great deal of controversy in society and was clear during this era the methods previously used had negative results on both society and the patients. While in the early stages of the deinstitutionalization the methods were radical and released patients from hospitals most programs were not well thought out or implemented.
