Since it was first introduced this theory has captured the attention of numerous researchers, authors, and educators. Its intuitive appeal and rich experiential basis have led to a profusion of books and articles on the subject. Since his first book on MI Gardner himself has authored or co-authored more than eighty books and articles on the subject. The theory has enjoyed robust evolution since its inception.
Around 250,000 copies of The Catcher in the Rye are still sold each year with total sales of more than 65 million books. My name is Daniel Porter and today I’d like to present my opinion as to why classic literature should be retained in the curriculum of senior English students. Classic novels provide the reader with opportunities to explore moral dilemmas within society and reflect on our own personal experiences. They raise an awareness of controversial issues sometimes not up for discussion, such as mental illness. Classic novels are well written and provide readers with exposure to language not heard in our everyday lives.
Critique for APA and ACA Kami Pringle Grand Canyon University: PSY-460 January 16, 2015 Critique for APA and ACA The American Psychological Association, APA, is a large organization that provides useful information for not only scientist but also for educators, clinicians, students and consultants.

The American Psychological Association was founded in July 1892 by a small group of men interested in what they called “the new psychology.” It is considered to be the largest professional and scientific organization with an estimated amount of 130,000 educators and researchers, consultants
Practitioner scholar 1 Running head: PRACTIONER-SCHOLAR PAPER PRACTITIONER-SHOLAR PAPER PSY5002 Orientation to Graduate Learning in Psychology Practitioner Scholar 2 The distinction between a scholar, scholar-practitioner, and practitioner-scholar has been debated for several years through the discussion of Psychology. The concept of a scholar is that they are learned individuals (especially in the humanities) who by long study have gained mastery in one or more disciplines. Scholars have mastered their discipline and have been performing at high levels of clinical studies for years. According to a recent article on reflective practice, the kind of knowledge being referred here cannot come from psychology text books or scientific nature alone (Zeldow, 2009). When an individual becomes a scholar, their in depth knowledge comes from many experiences and practices, not mainly from learned course material, but from integrating with the works of being in the field having hands on knowledge.
A Review of “The Culture-Cognition Connection” In the Culture and Cognition Program at the University of Michigan, psychologist Richard Nisbett, PhD (2005), and his colleagues study how people’s cultural backgrounds affect their basic cognitive processes. The studies are based off simple processes such as categorization, learning, casual reasoning, attention and perception. During their research they found that East Asians and Westerners have different cognitive processes in the way in which they view the world. This is taking a turn from traditional psychology, formerly espousing that basic cognitive processes are universal. The studies have gained substantial attention over the last two decades (Winerman, 2006, p.89).
[1] Throughout sixty years of writing only two articles had great impact on economics. The first article of significance was, “The Nature of the Firm”, in which he mainly addressed why firms exist. Coase was recognized for his definition and it became widely accepted and was credited for giving rise to new research on the subject. His second article of importance was called “The Problem of Social Cost”. This article was given credit for creating the field now called law and economics.
These principles have been brought up before in the past because there have been studies done that address key components of this topic that have to do with holistic grading and context effects of grading essays. Some researchers have had such interest in this subject that they did their own research and came up with findings themselves. Hughes and Keeling (1984) had twenty-five intermediate high school teachers grade essays written by thirteen and fourteen year olds on their hopes and aspirations for the future. These teachers have had at least five years experience with this age group. Hughes and Keeling wanted to know if having a model essay to refer to while scoring essays would help reduce context effects.
Cross-Cultural Psychology Cathy Perry Psy 450 November 14, 2011 Professor Sayida Peprah Cross-Cultural Psychology One of the more noteworthy developments in psychology during the past 35 years has been the rapid ascent of cross-cultural psychology (Lonner, 2000). In cross-cultural psychology individuals from at least two different cultures are studied. This branch of psychology aids the psychologist in using scientific research and critical thinking as a means for problem solving and observation between cultures (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Cross-cultural psychology has a vision to captivate a common link a culture and its inhabitants. This psychology is extremely complex and is a definite link with cultural psychology.
The Jungian 16 Type Personality has been very famous psychological assessment tool that was developed in early 1920 by Carl Jung.
