Daniel Bowden PT1420 Intro to Computer Programming 6/25/14 Unit 1 Research Assignment 1 Exploring Computer Languages A program does nothing more than tell the computer how to accept some type of input, manipulate that input, and spit it back out again in some form that humans find useful. Table 1 lists some common types of programs, the types of input that they accept, and the output that they produce. Machine language is a set of instructions executed directly by a computer's central processing unit (CPU). Each instruction performs a very specific task. Every program directly executed by a CPU is made up of a series of such instructions.
Knowledge is in the “inclusive sense used in cognitive psychology, information in memory about the world, ranging from the everyday to the formal; often further defined as information about the world that is likely to be true and that one has justification for believing”. Computers are not as capable at forming internal representations of the world. Instead of gathering knowledge for themselves, computers depend on human beings to place knowledge directly into their memories. Computer memory and human memory work differently and there are similarities that help us to understand the way computers work. The brain and the computer brain use different kinds of memory for different tasks.
A COMPILER is a program that translates a high-level language program into a separate machine language program. An INTERPRETER is a program that both translates and executes the instructions in a high-level language program What type of software controls the internal operations of the computer’s hardware? An operating system controls the internal operations of the computer’s hardware Unit 1 Research Assignment 1 Algol (ALGOrithmic Language): 1960, Defined by an international consortium. Algol was the first language to be machine independence. It has many of the common language features, such as If-Then-Else, For and While loops, Switch with gotos, begin and end markers, local variables, etc.
Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in the file to represent the text typed into the report? C. Character set. 7. A user has opened a calculator application, type the numbers 123456789, and then done some math problem using this number. Which of the following determines, in part, what bits the computer stores in RAM to represent the number 123456789?
Science had development the MRI machine, giving researchers a way to measure brain activity. In further research, found was that mental processes and states could possibly be measured because of the functions these machines could do (Cognitive Processes Classes, 1997). Because all the studies that were produced due to the new technology that science had given, cognitive psychology was defined and the study of human cognition was well on its way to new theories and answers (Cognitive Processes Classes, 1997). Cognitive science, in definition, can be defined as a scientific study of intelligence and the mind (Encyclopedia-Cognitive Science, 2003). Almost every introduction made formally of cognitive science stresses that psychology, neuroscience, education, philosophy, linguistics, biology, anthropology, and computer science are principal branches to the scientific research of cognitive science (Encyclopedia-Cognitive Science, 2003).
Assignment 06 BZ400 Strategic Information Technology Explain what collaboration technologies are and then specifically describe the technologies of desktop videoconferencing, groupware (including two of its benefits), and electronic meeting systems. Collaboration technologies within an organization can be described in the context of when a team is formed to performed specific tasks. The team members are pooled from various departments who possess different skilled sets to perform the task better. If team members are pooled from different locations, collaboration and communication among team members is a big challenge. Organizations would need a tool which allows the team members from different locations to collaborate and work together.
CIS 105 Week 3 DQS CIS 105 DQ 1 There are a variety of computers available, from the smallest computer in a domestic device to the supercomputers used in industry. Despite the different uses for computers, they all have basics elements in common—each computer system involves hardware, software, data, and users. Think about the role of each component of your home or work computer: How do the components of your computer system interact within the system? What improvements or additions to your system do you think would benefit you or make the system more user-friendly?
COSC1301 Assignment 1.2 Name: Adam Aitbouchireb On Blackboard, under Assignment 1.2, submit a word document with complete answers for the following questions. Complete Answers needed for full credit. (2 pts) Why personally do you believe it's important that you study computers? It is important that we study computers because as technology advances we will relies more and more on it and we should at least have an understanding of how it works. (2 pts) What role do computers play in your life as a student?
Foundations of Psychology Paper PSY/300 Psychology is made up of numerous schools of thought, structuralism, functionalism, psychodynamic, behaviorist, cognitive, and evolutionary. All of these schools of thought have different assumptions which sometimes offer contradicting facts and sometimes offer facts which compliment each other (Kowalski & Westen, 2009). In this paper the six schools of thought found within psychology and their major assumptions will be discussed, along with the primary biological foundations of psychology which are linked to behavior. The first school of thought in psychology is structuralism. Structuralism was developed by a man named Edward Titchener who was a student of Wilhem Wundt.
The focus is on the current research and theory in this rapidly evolving field. We will also consider the relevance of brainimaging and brain-injury results as well as behavioral data. Student Learning Objectives: Program objective 1.1 Describe the primary objectives of scientific psychology (describing, explaining, predicting, and changing behavioral and mental processes). Program objective 1.3 Describe, apply, and analyze selected content areas in psychology (e.g., memory, attention, language, judgment & decision making, knowledge). Program objective 2.1 Identify and explain different research methods used by psychologists.
