Genetically modified foods have been a widely debated topic as of late. Since the first genetically modified crops were approved in the United States around the same time that technology became a significant resource, individuals have been using the internet as a source of information regarding GMOs. Through his research, Rangel (2015) determined that the number of Google searches for “GMOs” has dramatically increased since late 2012. When I entered “GMOs” into the search engine, hardly any of…

categorised the three individual types of memory as sensory, long-term and short-term. (Ebbinghaus, 2013). Following on from Ebbinghaus ' ideology, Miller began to research short-term memory. Miller 's theory is that short-term memory can hold seven plus or minus two items of information at any one time. (Miller, 1956). Miller alleged that short-term memory could…

Genetically Modified Organisms Using genetically modified organisms to enhance the production of food, is a new technique for solving the food shortage caused by overpopulation in the world. Food labeling is needed to educate consumers about the ingredients in food that may contain some form of chemicals and pesticides. Consumers play a major role in deciding whether products containing genetically modified organisms remain economically stable. Produce, crops and animals are sources of food…

The processes involved in emotion regulation and working memory have recently been explored. Although there is extensive research on emotion regulation and working memory, few studies have examined the relationship. Emotion regulation is based on several factors, such as valence bias, the tendency to perceive information as negative or positive, and trait-like factors. Despite consistent latency for valence bias, studies have considered the role of reaction time for categorizing valences of…

There have been ongoing debates about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for quite a while now. And you might have noticed people walking the streets protesting against research and production of GMOs and wonder what exactly is a GMO. I believe mandatory GMO labeling actually hurt the economy and the market and limit consumers’ choices. First, I am going to explain it to you what a GMO is, how it works, and the pros and cons regarding the consumption of GM food. Then I will explain how the…

Participants The participants for this digit span stud consisted of 3 subjects from a large public University. The participants comprised of 1 male and 2 female students with their age ranging from 18-21 years old. With regard to deficiencies, the male student reported that he has color-blindness, while the two female students did not report any deficiency. Apparatus This digit span experiment was conducted in the Social Sciences Laboratories at UCI. All three participants carried out the…

ISSUE: Kraft Heinz cheese which labelled “100% Grated Parmesan Cheese” was found to have 3.8% cellulose. Although Bloomberg News story mentioned that between 2 to 4 percent is considered to be an “acceptable level”, consumers still consider this case as a fraud and even filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz in federal district court on 2016, 27 January. On this day, a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz in the federal Northern District court was filed by an Illinois woman named…

Genetically modified organisms also known as GMOs have been an area of hot debate over the last few years. In this article we will explore the arguments for and against GMOs and at the end dispel the fear-mongering and show that humanity has been modified organisms since the beginning of recorded human history; we are just much better and faster at it now than in the past 1,000s years. The goal in GMOs is to modify organisms (generally food stock such as livestock and extensive agriculture,…

As one of the most insightful philosophers and psychologists of our time, William James’ influential theory of primary and secondary memory in 1890 kick-started the long standing dispute between theories of unitary and separate memory stores. Advocates of multi-store models focus heavily on distinctions between long term memory (LTM) and short term memory (STM), such as differences in their capacity of storage and duration of which information can be withheld within each store. Other theorists…

The world is constantly changing, therefore the way food is grown must change too. Companies are adding GMO’s or Genetically Modified Organisms to food without telling consumers. These Genetically Modified Organisms are used to help food grow and deal with the weather changes and parasites. Congress has passed a bill that requires companies to label products made with GMO’s. I think Congress made a smart decision to make companies label their products. People need to know what they are putting…
