memory to retrieve and hold memory in the mind. This article investigated how the attention of impulse relates to level of which participants multitasked with the media. The study hypothesized that frequent multitasking induces psychosocial and cognitive differences or whether the participants with these differences gravitate more frequent media multitasking. Media Multitasking refers to the many different ways of retrieving and holding information. For example, television, radio, cell phones,…

emotionally significant speech) implies that at any given moment, all sound information from multiple sources are at least being “taken in” by the working memory. Researchers have theorized that while all information is at least 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…

Matthew’s cognitive abilities were assessed through the use of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtests measure different cognitive processing abilities and when combined together they form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing…

Her strongest cognitive skill is her ability to count. Kiara is able to true count and count by rote. She has gotten past the common errors made when learning to count and is able to partition, is coordinated, and understands cardinality. When asked to count up to 10 she…

The aim of this research study is to test the Stroop effect. The Stroop effect was first stablished by J. Ridley Stroop when he discovered a phenomenon in which people had a little difficulty when naming the color of the word. The “Speed of Processing” model states that the reading response occurs faster than the color-naming response, arguing that at the moment of receiving a task involving color-naming, the word stimuli receives the response before the word stimuli, leading to disorientation.…

Loftus, E., & Palmer, J. (1974). Reconstruction of automobile destruction: An example of the interaction between language and memory. Journal Of Verbal Learning And Verbal Behavior, 13, 585-589. The article “Reconstruction of automobile destruction: An example of the interaction between language and memory” by Elizabeth F. Loftus and John C. Palmer was to investigate whether different verbs used to describe an automobile accidents would alter participants’ memory remembering the…

autobiographical memory entails peoples’ recall of events that they think they experienced when in fact that event did not occur (Simone, 2016, lec 3). Furthermore, in answering the question above, we look at cognitive explanations and social interactionist explanations. According to cognitive psychologists Devitt, Monk-Fromont, Schacter & Addis (2015), the memory system is flexibly constructive. Thus making it susceptible to occasional conjunction errors, whereby constituents of an event are…

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. Also, our visual attention like in the experiment can be focused on the arrow in the middle rather than the red box on the outside. In other words, visual attention can be very selective and not always focus on a person’s eye movements. 2. What is…

done on the concept of “kinds,” but there has been none that connects it to memory. The previous research is about how children are very well developed in this cognitive ability, even though they are so young. Normally, most of a child’s cognitive abilities are not very well developed, so it makes an issue of how this could be. This cognitive ability makes them aware that there are kinds of things and they are able to understand them as well. They use kinds to assess a lot of things in their…
