migration is a miracle of nature that provides an insight into the yearly population and the abundance of their species (OLWQS 2014). However, the salmon population has decreased in the past few decades due to the effects of global warming causing changes within the habitats they live in. Theses effects lead to issues such as suboptimal diets having caused a decrease in salmon health leading to death. Predators that turn towards a higher salmon diet to fulfill their needs as other prey are…

recognized by the cognitive processes, only that information which is deemed relevant makes its way to working memory. (Wood 257) This explanation makes sense in both the context of dichotic listening source differentiation as well as the cocktail party effect. During a dichotic listening task, participants cannot remember information that they were not asked to focus on because it is effectively “dumped out” before it can be stored in working memory due to its irrelevance. On the reverse,…

Jalyn Prewitt HON 100 (Seminar) A higher power, whether of spirit or of nature, gifted all organisms one ever-changing opportunity to live a life fulfilled. This one opportunity provides every being with protection, sustainability, and growth. This single opportunity possesses the only known sources of life for galaxies around. This lone opportunity is our earth. Our earth has given us the resources needed to survive on essentially a floating incubator—providing all its inhabitants with warmth…

will be better able to repair their home country after these natural disasters take place. So, even if something bad such as a decrease in food supply were to happen as a result of global warming, we would be better able to cope with these negative effects according to Moore. A majority of the ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will cost a substantial amount of money and are not sufficient in decreasing these greenhouse gas emissions. Even though many alternative sources of energy exist…

stance on the subject. Rather, the purpose is to question the moral distinction between physician aid in dying and the doctrine of double effect. Through defining these two terms and analyzing medical cases where killing a patient is morally permissible, I argue that there is no moral distinction between physician aid in dying and the doctrine of double effect. Originating from “Thomas Aquinas’…discussion of the permissibility of self-defense in the…

Memory is the ability to recall something after it has happened. There are three stages that are gone through to make a memory: the encoding, storage, and retrieval. The encoding is the initial learning or experience of an event. Storage is just the holding of information until the retrieval which is when you access the information. If there is a mishap between these stages, then the memory will be loss. These stages are vital to the making of a memory, and help filter the important information…

16-17 people at the end of the list. This position effect is called the Serial Position Effect. In this effect, we remember words at the start of the list because of the primacy effect and we remember words at the end of the list because of the recency effect. The primacy effect helps us recall words because the words at the start of the list are encoded into our long term memory where we store them until it is time to recall them. The recency effect helps us recall words because words at the…

The question “are media in the United States politically biased?” has persisted for many decades. Findings on different media effects, such as the hostile media phenomenon, have helped work toward an answer to this long-lasting question. The hostile media phenomenon (HMP) is “the tendency for people who are highly involved in an issue to see news coverage of that issue as biased, particularly as biased against their own point of view” (Choi, Yang & Chang, 2009) Research regarding the existence…

increases one’s ability to pay attention and remember new information. The benefits of getting adequate hours of sleep, in turn have drastic effects on one’s health if they do not obtain enough sleep. Sleep deprivation is known to cause a variety of issues like obesity, depression, and hypertension. Like health issues, sleep deprivation has serious effects on one’s cognitive processing…
