As I prepare to graduate, I need to think of life after Olivet. This can be challenging because there are so many areas that interest me in psychology. One thing I am sure of is I want to go to graduate school. During my time as an undergrad, I have taken courses that will help clarify what my interests are and sharpen my skills in those areas of interests. As of now, there are a few options I am considering pursuing. Two of those careers are an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist…

into small, homogenous markets. We know we cannot target every customer in the United Kingdom, but we can solely focus on one or two groups. An advantage of focusing on two groups to buy our clothes is we will not waste resources or efforts. (SKS Comprehension Strategic Knowledge, 2016). We know who we are targeting and what they want. We discovered what recent graduates wanted by using the consumer segmentation. The market segments included demographics, geographic, psychological, values and…

instrumental role in human communication as it had ensured our species’ survival and ability to thrive within civilizations. Notably, language exists as a universal contract that reaches an agreement of mutual comprehension during the event of two parties communicating. Without this mutual comprehension, the human brain would be less advanced than even an ant’s and this would result in quick extinction (Formigari, 2004). Although communication is a vital trait to the human species, the ultimate…

Knowledge, Comprehension and Application are, what Bloom designates as lower-level complexity. Bloom argues that our school system are riddled with lower-level complexity and rarely ever move beyond that and into the higher levels of comprehension that are Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation (Adams, 2015). Knowledge is the lowest level…

Charlie is a lively and fun 20-month-old child that is bursting with personality. I observed Charlie in the comforts of his own home, along with his mother, in the early evening. Charlie is able to walk and is starting to develop some language and approximations for items (example: “vroom” for motorcycle). He is an only child and has a really positive relationship with both of his parents, who have exposed him to three languages (via his grandparents)—English, Dutch, and Spanish. I have known…

Development of Word Recognition Sight Word Inventory To get a better understand of Franklin’s reading level, I administered the ____ Sight Word Inventory (______). This test consists of sight words, or words students can recognize immediately, appropriate for each grade level. Thus, as you continue through the words, they become increasingly difficult. Franklin’s instructional level is at the third-grade level. At his level, he was able sound out the beginning consonant, “r,” for the word…

The following assignment will be to demonstrate the qualities of the Lockean position over and against that of Descartes. The primary point I need to make is that Locke composes widely in part XVII of his second book while the Cartesian comprehension of self is somewhat oversimplified. For the Cartesian self is contained in the straightforward, but stacked, word cogito. Self is contained in the cognizance and this is a piece of the psyche body dualism; the body can't think separated from the…

for instruction and ways to manage that instruction through learning targets. One idea from Tovani was to eliminate “fake reading.” Students can often make it through an assignment without every really reading for comprehension. To change reading from just decoding words to comprehension and construction of meaning. One important take away was the idea of using the idea of the inner voice sheet. This specifically stuck with me because I often find myself thinking about other things while I am…
