After demonstrating the test, Mr. Singletary advised he understood and was “ready” to begin. On my first “left” command, the subject missed touching the tip of his nose, striking the center of his upper lip then slowly lowered his arm. On the command “right,” the suspect touched his right nostril with the tip of his finger. His movements back to his body were very slow and exaggerated. After failing to bring his arms down immediately after touching his nose, I advised him that his hand was to return down to his side immediately.…

Candidate Fowler demonstrated a basic understanding of the composition of the 5-paragraph order, however fell short of briefing information based on his analysis of the problem. SNC simply regurgitated the Situation paragraph based on higher's brief, and had no executable plan within his Scheme of Maneuver and Tasks to accomplish the mission other than using the planks to get across the bridge. Despite a vague brief, SNC did manage to maintain eye contact with his fire team throughout the delivery of his brief, demonstrating an average level of confidence in briefing an order. SNC was mindful of the tactical situation and not only posted security but received frequent updates from his security element. SNC appeared to gain confidence during…
Psychology Lab Research Question: Why do older adults show a decrease on postural control? Hypothesis: Older adults with decreased knee or ankle threshold joint position sensation would show decreased postural control. • Threshold joint position is a test of sensory sensitivity used to quantify each subject’s proprioceptive abilities Methods: • 22 women and men, 70 yoa or older • all subjects had threshold joint position testing at ankle (plantar and dorsiflexion) and knee joints (flexion and extension) - Subjects were told to press a stop button the moment they detected movement in the joint - performance was measured in degree of joint rotation that occurred prior to their sensing movement - This data was used to categorize subjects…
The Danger Exposed Eva Bombardier was a normal, healthy baby until she reached the age of one. When she turned one, she was given the usual dosage of vaccines on the prescribed schedule. Eva went home afterwards, and everything seemed fine, until three days later when she became seriously ill. From that time forward she endured pitching fevers, gray-tinged skin, excessive vomiting, extreme diarrhea, eczema, complete loss of appetite, and other horrible afflictions. After asking countless doctors, Eva’s mother discovered that Eva was experiencing negative reactions from the vaccines she had been given. Luckily, Eva was able to be healed, but no mother should have to watch their child endure so much pain to begin with.…
The eyes can lie, they may miss things that are truly there or make things appear from nothing. Despite these mistakes we trust our vision completely, depending on it to determine the truth. Race, an important ‘truth’ in the 1920’s is often determined by sight, and can be quite fickle. People look for numerous traits that a person has to determine their race; traits that can easily be hidden, or have no truth to them at all, like ones finger nails, palms, ears, teeth or obviously skin colour (Larsen 8). Characters like Clare Kendry and Irene Redfield prove these assumptions of race false when they pass for being white, despite their African heritage, and that there must be instead other ways to dictating ones race.…
The other thirteen participants were non-players. Using some type of stereophotogrammetric system, motions and position parameters were recorded (Bonnechere, Beyer, Rooze, Serge Van Sint, 2014). Each of the men demonstrated the three different starting positions: two-point, three-point, and four-point position (Bonnechere et al., 2014). Trials were conducted three times to obtain accurate results. The data concluded that the four-point position had the most damaging potential due to the lack of visual capacity from the increased disability to reposition the head.…
Spatial Cueing Basic Questions 1. Does visual attention always follow a person’s eye movements? Explain. No, it does not always follow a person’s eye movements because some people are trained to use their peripheral vision rather than their spatial.…
Observing a child has always been a fascinating experience. It is amazing to see how differently children act in regards to child development theories. I recently observed a 4 year old little girl who I babysit periodically. My observation was conducted after school at the school I am contracted at. For the purposes of confidentiality the name of the little girl has been changed to Kaiya.…
Observational Study of Infant and Caregiver An observational study is a form of naturalistic observation, “in which some naturally occurring behavior is observed without intervention in the situation” (Feldman, R.S., 2015, p. 27). On September 26th, 2016, an observer secretly watched a young, African American mother and her nine month old, female infant at the chain store BuyBuyBaby in Central Park, Fredericksburg, Virginia. For about an hour, from 15:00 to 16:00, the observer followed this mother and child throughout the store.…
Somewhere deep in the conglomerate of useless knowledge in my brain, I knew that sponges do not have brains. I did not, however, take that knowledge and consider what other animals' nervous systems look like. Professor Martin looks at how higher functions of the brain play out in "lower" animals, or animals that are not normally considered to be overly intelligent. According to Professor Martin's research, the female praying mantis has a nervous system that is relatively similar to that of humans. There have a central nervous system that can be scientifically considered a brain, and it controls the parts of the body in ways that are similar to our own.…
Pain affects the way people behave. For professional athletes, changes in the way actions are executed can have costly consequences (e.g. losing a tennis match in a grand slam). In this study, we examined the effects of pain expectation on movement initiation and execution when participants knew - simple reaction time (RT) task - or not - choice RT task - whether their next movement would be painful. Participants responded to the appearance of a target with a ballistic isometric wrist contraction. Simple and choice RT tasks were performed in two separate blocks in random order.…
Piaget Sensorimotor stage First stage of cognitive development in which schemes are based on perception. This stage begins at birth. Children can only focus on things that are right in front of them. Simple reflexes are an example of an involuntary action that happens without much thought process.…
