Alyce Archer 12D2 Outline and evaluate the multi store model of memory (12) Atkinson and Shiffrins (1968) multi store model of memory is a diagram explaining how the information flows in a linear process from one storage unit to another in a structural process. The model is made up of three unitary stores: Sensory memory, which takes in the enviromental stimuli (touch, smell, sound, sight and taste). This information can decay in as little as 2 seconds if it is not attended to. However if you do pay attention to it it will flow through to the Short term memory, where 5-9 items can be stored at one time, the duration of this is 18 seconds then it will decay or be displaced by new infromation, unless rehearsal takes place. There are two types of rehearsal: Maintance rehearsal and Elaborate Rehearsal.
Test the Rest (Benchmark Assessment) Ashley Scott SPE-512 Assessment in Special Education Grand Canyon University October 22, 2014 Benchmark Assessment This paper contains reports and observes two particular ting bias and strengths and weaknesses. can definitely be an advantage to the student and teacher. ibecircumstances in which students currently getting special education services were re-assessed. The first case study involves a 4 year old preschool student. The second case study involves a reevaluation of a 16 year old secondary student that to date is unsure where he wants to go after graduation.
The articles used will explain how this test was developed and how, when administered correctly, it can identify the signs of early developmental delays in children. The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale has been used for decades as a formal tool to diagnose learning disabilities in children. Since the time of its development in 1906, this test is still widely used among psychologist in both school and clinical settings. Its intended purpose is to answer the following questions: What is intelligence? How do we measure intelligence?
PBWSTT in children with Cerebral Palsy This article talks about the effects of a partial body weight supported treadmill training program (PBWSTT) on the walking speed and endurance of children with Cerebral Palsy. The study was performed twice a week for 6 weeks. A short PBWSTT program can improve the walking speed of children with cerebral palsy or with moderate to severe disabilities. Treadmill training is seen as a useful gait training option for children with CP. The purpose of the study is to emphasize that efficient and independent walking is an important therapeutic goal for children with CP because as much as 90% have difficulty walking.
Question: Analyse, in terms of psychological theory, a recent topical event concerned with child care or education. In September 2008 a new national curriculum for the under-fives will be introduced. This new curriculum is known as the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and all childminders and nurseries will be legally required to follow its guidelines. The framework sets out around 500 developmental milestones between birth and primary school and requires under-fives to be assessed on writing, problem solving and numeracy skills. The framework focuses on ‘learning through play’ and states that by the age of five children should be able to do such things as write their own name, count up to ten and understand that people have different needs, views and beliefs.
The CPU tells the RAM which address holds the data that the CPU wants to read 6. A user has opened a word processor, typed the numbers 123456789, and stored the document as a file called report1. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the typed into the report? C. Character set 7. A user has opened a calculator application, typed the numbers 123456789, and then done some math problem using this number.
Psychological Tests Children’s Depression Inventory PSY/475 March 9, 2012 Children’s Depression Inventory Testing is an important part of psychological evaluation and clinical treatment. There are a growing number of tests designed to diagnose and direct treatment for depression in children. In this paper the examination will be of the Children’s Depression Inventory. The Children’s Depression Inventory or CDI was created by Maria Kovacs (Benet, 2005). The CDI is a self- rated response assessment designed to identify depressive markers in children ages 7-17.
Unit 3 E1, E2, E3 and E4 | How does legislation influence working practices in the setting? | Childcare act 2006 | The Childcare Act 2006 influences working practice within a setting as it provides the learning framework for children aged 0-5 years which is the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The act includes the wellbeing standards which all setting must use. These requirements may include e.g. the types of snacks available for children, encouraging healthy eating or meeting the amount of adults required to look after a set amount of children which is called ratios.
Two children one girl of eight and one boy of sixteen were given a self- completion questionnaire that started with the question ‘who am I’, and continued with ten numbered lines each beginning with ‘I’, that the participants were asked to write their chosen descriptions of themselves, after the participants had open ended interviews with the children individually to find out about their self- perceptions. It has been established that children’s self-descriptors change as they become more aware of outside influences as they get older. Thus the hypothesis was supported. Introduction This study explores how children’s self –descriptions of themselves change as they become older. Harter (1983) reviewed several studies and outlined a developmental sequence in which children’s self-descriptions change as they become more aware of the information about themselves available from other sources.
For the three to seven year old there is the face scale, the color scale or the Oucher scale. For the child that is seven or older you can use the linear scales. For infants and toddlers observe their various behaviors: facial expressions, posturing, and vocalization or verbalization. Observation and assessment of the child is also important in the following areas: blood pressure, crying, movement and agitation. Assessment of pain
