Outline and evaluate research into STM and LTM. 12 Marks One key study into STM was researched by Peterson and Lloyd to 24 students that went to their university. Whereby an experimenter said a constant syllable to the participant followed by a 3 digit number – and immediately after hearing the syllable the participant had to count backwards in 3’s or 4’s until told to stop. Then the participant was asked to recall the syllable. They found that participants remembered about 90% when there was only a second interval; but this dropped to 2% when an 18 second interval was emplaced.
Ian Brown Mr. Moran English I - Honors 12 March 2012 Year-Round Schooling Pro Rebuttal The issue of having year-round school in America or not has been going around for decades. This system is practiced throughout the world with the huge exception of many of our schools. Some claim that it doesn’t make a difference to a child’s scores, but spending more time in the classroom, with shorter but often breaks, can keep their mind refreshed. Even U.S. President Barack Obama stated that the hardships and new challenges in this emerging century “demand more time in the classroom.” Some opponents of this system say that our summer vacation is the perfect time to have a full time-off and that you won’t lose much of what you learned the previous school year. In fact, according to a study at the University of Missouri, they found that many students forgot over two and one-half months of whatever their grade-level equivalency is in mathematics.
Lin Article Critique Part III Whitney Barber Liberty University December 9, 2012 EVALUATING ANALYSIS AND RESULTS When an author reports percentages, it is also important for the underlying number of cases fir each percentage to be reported as well (Pyrczak, 2008). It can be considered misleading if all numbers are not reported. In the beginning of this study, there were forty participants. At the end, there were only fourteen leaving seven in each group. The four-month follow up consisted of only six from the experimental group and four from the controlled group.
Only 8th graders are assigned Science and History BR’ but they do not count towards their final grade in those subjects.. 2. Work Samples Your student HAS turned in all Q3 work samples. They are missing: none 3. Additional Assignments Your student HAS submitted their final draft of the assigned comp essay for Q3. 4.
Part 1 Summarising and interpreting the information in the table drawn on research by Stanley Milgram. ( pg 11 of DSE 141 Assignment booklet) The table shows the predictions by college students and three experimental results one made by the original study and two variations of the experiment. Where the participant learned with co – ‘teachers’ who defy the authority figure (variation 1) and where the participant teamed with co – ‘teachers’ who obey the authority figure (variation 2). ‘Each participant went through identical experimental procedure at which the teacher stopped shocking the learner . The experiment shows that on average level of shock at which teachers refused to continue in volts (variation 2) scored the highest (380), variation 1 scored 240 and 368 by the original study the difference is relatively small with variation 2 being quite high with the predictions made of 140 by the students.
MSM Strengths: Primacy/Recency Primacy/Recency is an experiment where participants are given a list of 20 words in succession and the experiment is interested in where the most words are remembered. Primacy/recency proves MSM because the beginning of the list is first transferred to the LTM, the middle is forgotten due to the fact that it is being transferred from the STM to the LTM and the end of the list is stored in the STM so you are only able to write some of the words down. The whole of the experiment proves that there is a long term and a short term memory which MSM states exist. Clive Wearing is a man that suffers from the world’s worst case of amnesia. His memory is 30 seconds long and he doesn’t have the capacity to make new memories.
Schools on the traditional calendar attend classes that are divided in nine months of school and three months of education. Year-round schools, however, most often attend classes in what is known as the 60/20 calendar in which the student has sixty days of school, followed by twenty days of vacation. Although other schedules are implemented, the 60/20 is the most popular. (Yeager) Also, it is not as if year-round schooling is not popular, according to the National Association for Year-Round Schooling, in the 2002-03 school year, over 2.3 million students in public schools attended year-round school. (“Year”) Although the traditional school has served students well, year-round schooling would be beneficial for students in improving their knowledge retention and providing a richer learning
Tom’s forgetting is due to failure to transfer information form STM to LTM. Tom cannot recall the materials since he only encode information to STM, we must attend to it. Since we are selective about what we attend to, our STM will contain only what has been selected. Without rehearsal, the materials cannot enter the LTM. earsal is the process of repeatedly verbalizing, thinking about, or otherwise acting on information in order to keep that information in memory.
The first article I chose came from the Mid-Western Educational Researcher, titled "Cheating Perceptions and Prevalence Across Academic Settings." Kelly Honz, a high school teacher; and Kenneth A. Kiewra and Ya-Shu Yang, both university professors, wrote and published it April 1, 2010. The peer-reviewed article was found on EBSCOhost with the keywords "academic honesty." The article discussed the results of the Academic Honesty Survey of high school students, which determined that the students all shared similar traditional perceptions of what constituted as cheating, and what setting a student had cheated or were tempted to cheat in most. While this article had little to no bearing on this paper on hand, it gave some interesting information-- what a student would most likely cheat at.
If you somehow manage to wake up in time to rush to class, not only are you some sort of superhuman, but you can just take your sweet time. No parents are going to rush you anymore. Even if you are some miracle worker and make it to class, make sure to sit in the very back where it's hard to see and hear. Now that you have mastered the art of avoiding classes, let's discuss studying. Now for college classes, it is recommended that you study 3 hours for every one hour of credit that the classes is worth.
