still used to help students learn grammar conventions (22). Secondly, Academic-initiation approaches integrate reading and writing, hold basic writer students to the same expectations as “regular” students, defined by discourse theories rather than cognitive view of error, have a three-step process of comprehension, interpretation, and application, and Bartholomae’s theory of academic socialization underlies these approaches. Thirdly, critical approaches focus on “reforming unjust relations of…

Flashbulb memories (FBMs) can be defined as episodic memories and recollections of autobiographical events that are formed when an individual experiences intense emotions generating from a surprising public event. FBMs are referred to as special memories that are cognitively processed and stored as explicit recollections and are vivid, long lasting and consistent remembrances retained throughout life. (Goldstein, 2014). This phenomenon was first proposed by Brown & Kulik (1977) whereby they…

understand this ability as “multitasking”. However, researchers have discovered the evidence of multitasking to indicate that it is a rather inefficient and impairing bond to cognitive functioning. In a 2009 study, Stanford researcher Clifford Nass and his colleagues put the question to the test- does multitasking benefit or hinder cognitive performance? They began the experiment by establishing two groups: those who identify themselves as “heavy multitaskers” and those who do not or rarely…

emerged in research. With the progress of current findings on FBMs, future studies are vital to develop an assessment model of FBMs in an attempt to fully consider how they are formed, stored and processed cognitively, to advance our understanding of cognitive processes on memory and potentially prevent and treat disorders of…

There is a distinct line between what is real and what is stored in our memory. False memories are memories for events which never actually occurred. These false memories can come from different sources and take on different forms. “Often times false memories come from our natural impulse to integrate several pieces of information into a single, coherent memory, and we misremember what individual pieces were learned apart from the whole” (Radvansky, 2011, p. 254). In the articles, Correcting…

Types of Psychology. Cognitive Psychology Cognitive Psychology is a fairy modern approach to human behaviour that is the scientific study of the mind as an information processor. Cognitive psychology is mainly that if we want to know what makes people tick then we need to understand the internal processes of their mind. It involves the study of the human mental processes and how they play a role in how we feel, how we think and the way we behave. This type of psychology focuses on how humans…

Cognitive Psychology Assignment The cold morning sleeps like a child as I sit to write a paper on cognition. So what is cognition, as the name indicates studies t cognition. But it’s not as simple as it seems, it like a river which looks as clear as a crystals but has life within. So it’s not wrong to say cognitive processes such as thinking, reasoning give us life every day. Cognition as we know is not a unitary process and it’s not a linear progression. It’s multidirectional and…

There has always been a stereotype that females have a better social cognitive understanding than males, while the latter have a stronger sense of their surroundings. I have a bad sense of direction myself, but I’m good at standing for the position of others. It is found that many girls are good at navigating socially and generally boys can easily adapt to the perspective of others. It makes me believe that the stereotype that I mentioned earlier is untrue and that there must be some other…

Katherine Johnson and discuss the cognitive development, social psychology, and stress and health in the film. At the beginning of the film, it showed Katherine Johnson and her development over time. Katherine was cognitively at a different stage than her peers. The administrators at Katherine’s school and Katherine’s parents decided to switch her to a school for the gifted and talented. Katherine’s IQ level was most likely…

order. “Ha-ha” Everything that I have gone through has made me the consciously aware woman that I am today. I’m still a work in progress. I do my best to find logic in my own mental processes. (Wikipedia, 2016) In Psychology mental process is the performance of some composite cognitive activity; an operation that affects mental contents. (Vocabulary,…
