Encodings

Background: During vertebrate development, neurons differentiate before glial cells. Common progenitor model and heterogeneous progenitor model were proposed to explain this differential paradox. This paper aims to resolve the uncertain lineage relationship between the two differentiated cells and identify the basis for the fate of speciation. Hypothesis 1: pMN progenitor fate is biased by the position of the cell within the pMN domain. Experimental Approach: Transgenic…

Memory is a critical part of our lives. It helps us to get better grades in school and reflect on special moments we experienced. There is a vast amount of research in psychology on what promotes and inhibits memory encoding and retrieval. Our current study assessed the difference in memory retention when expecting a memory test vs. a surprise memory test. We selected 253 participants from Dalhousie University and split them into two groups. One group was expecting a memory test and the other…

A schema is a cognitive framework that helps organize and interpret information. Schemas can be useful because they allow us to take shortcuts when interpreting large quantities of information. It includes are integrated knowledge about familiar, everyday events and the relationships among them. Although, these frameworks do cause us to exclude relevant information, and instead focus only on what confirms our pre-existing ideas. Schemas can supply to stereotypes, making it hard to retain new…

communication. Communication process is a chain made up of identifiable links. The chain includes sender, encoding, message, decoding, receiver, and feedback. 1. Sender: In the first step, the communicator develops or conceptualizes an idea to be sent. It is also known as the planning stage since in this stage the communicator plans the subject matter of communication. 2. Encoding: Encoding means converting or translation the idea into a perceivable form that can be communicated to others.…

Published in 2013, the New York Times article “Manage Fatigue in a Nonstop World With a Nap” by Tony Schwartz (2013) insisted that even short naps can improve our performances based on his experience and studies. Knowing the importance of sleep, Schwartz decided to take a nap when his energy was due to lack of sleep. According to him, after his 15 to 20-minute nap, his mind was refreshed and he found no trouble to get back to his work, which he could not even imagine to do earlier. He refered to…

Eyewitness Identification The California Innocence Project website states that eyewitness misidentification is a primary cause of wrongful convictions. Up to a quarter of eyewitness identifications in cases of strangers are incorrect. Despite the high rate of error in eyewitness identification, eyewitnesses can provide the most damning evidence against a suspect. Several reasons explain the high error rate in eyewitness identification. One reason is the stress and anxiety that individuals feel…

Topic: Communication Group Members: Bethany Blauer, Jay Kippen, Caitlin Makin, Randy Isaacson, and Ryan Swaner To begin our communication presentation, we will present a short communication video that will introduce our topic to the class. Immediately following the video, we will ask for volunteers and have the volunteers wait in the hall. Individually we will have them come in and draw a simple picture. Each drawer will be assigned a coach. The drawers and coaches will have different ways…

The memory works in a process of three stages- encoding, storage and retrieval. This enables humans to learn new material, store the material and then retrieve and extract it at a later date when necessary (Eysenck & Keane, 2010). However, many psychologists have researched the effect of emotion on these stages of memory processing. Many have been interested in the idea of emotion affecting the ability to accurately retrieve past events due to many alternating factors. Some argue that matching…

oral languages are the modality of choice amongst humans. She claims that some think that the oral modality is “good at encoding messages in the segmented and combinatorial”, but then goes onto counter this assertion by claiming that “But as we have seen in our examination of sign language, the manual modality is just as good as the oral modality at segmented and combinatorial encoding.” She then claims that the “oral modality assumes the segmented and combinatorial format” to make up for its…

non-blaming. No. 2 apparently finds comfort in his job as an accountant. Juror # 3 perhaps has the utmost complex personality in the movie. He starts off relatively normal just like any other successful businessman with a great perception of the case, encoding the arguments so that they are easily decoded and has a self-assured attitude. Although as the movie progresses his attitude becomes less understanding and impartial and more explosive in his personal bias in the case that he seems to be…
