Cognitive science

Reading the story of the master students Bert and John Jacobs has given me the highlights about what life is about. The main key about what Bert and John talked about is how people should not only look at the bad side of things, but to see outside of the box of any good things that can come out of it. I believe is true because most of the time when I am working on a project, I always doubt myself saying “No one will ever like my Project”, or “I am going to do really bad at my presentation”…

The reporting party (RP) on 6/12/16 stated that Kee'Riyah disclosed that she and her foster siblings are all being showered together and that her 12 year old foster brother Jhaycze is touching her legs and breast.

Per the RP the child is in an un-monitored visit from 11AM to 7PM. The RP stated she was on her way to the 77th…

Schemata is “abstract knowledge stored in memory and it is a richly organized networks of knowledge”. Schema helps reader with comprehension because it allows you to use your background knowledge. Readers are able to use of what they already know to make a connection with what they are reading. Without schema readers might become uninterested and frustrated with what they are reading. With little to none background knowledge, reader might have trouble making connections to a topic they might not…

Metacognition is just thinking about thinking. So you're thinking about what you are thinking about while you're thinking. That's a lot of thinking. In other words we can narrow it down to two things: the things we know and the ones we don't. We can narrow it down to thinking about what needs to get done and thinking about what's the best way for me to get there. Especially if it refers to doing work for school. Questions you can be constantly asking yourself is how am I doing? Does this make…

One thing I think that gets overlooked when it comes to starting a business- or what I should say is not stressed enough- is the power of affirmation. And no affirmation is not some magic trick that turns dreams into reality, rather a conditioning device used to retrain your subconscious brain to expand enough to receive your manifestation. Before I go any further, I would like to explain what affirmation means, according to Google, the action or process of affirming something or being affirmed;…

Problems with Executive Functioning Executive function is a set of mental processes. It helps with connecting peoples past experiences with their present actions. It is needed for many activities such as organizing, planning, and managing time and space. Many people who have learning disabilities struggle with executive functioning. These problems with executive function can occur at any age and they contribute to many of the challenges students with learning disabilities have in academic…

According to the text “metadiscourse is language that does not refer to the substance of your writing, but instead it refers to yourself, your reader or your writings”. This sentence is an example of metadiscourse. 1a. My attempt to explain to my readers what metadiscourse is particularly difficult, because I do not fully understand it myself. This sentence refers to the reader and myself is a prime example of metadiscourse. I used language that speaks in the first person and the actions…

Azlynn did exceptionally well at staying focus and on task throughout our weeks together. She was very shy at first and it took some time in her opening up to me. On the first day together I shared about myself so that she could get to know me better as a person. Once I did that and with each day we were together she opened up more and more. Once she got comfortable enough she liked to talk about what she was going to do after school that day and after every few sentences of reading I would have…

"Control, control, you must learn control!" The words of Master Yoda might be more than just advice but could have some backing in psychology. In the video, Roy Baumeister talks about research he has conducted on self-control or willpower. One of his experiments present the subject with a plate of cookies and beats. With a goal of testing not only the self-control of a person but also their ability to perform additional tasks as well as blood glucose tests. Personally I think this research…

I like dreaming with my eyes open. I’ll be sitting down in my International Relations class, for example, and out of nowhere I’ll begin writing funny, revealing dialogues between two friends. One guy, for instance, might be trying to open up to his friend about his homosexuality, only to end up having to explain to his friend why he is not attracted to him. I found my niche in comedy as a junior in high school—particularly in my Theater class. While pretending to recount formal monologues, I…
