The Allen Cognitive Scale is just one of several tools we use to create a personalized recommendation for care. Created by occupational therapist Claudia Allen, it’s an advanced way to identify a resident’s abilities, monitor change over time, help plan treatment and guide placement in our residences. There are six levels in the Allen Scale ranging from Coma (0.8) to "Normal" (6.0). Each level has three components: attention, motor control and verbal performance. In "Level 1", all needs must be…

I enjoyed completing the Project Implicit test and found it to be an interesting assessment. I like that the quiz was based on an automatic response and that pictures or words were assimilated with hidden biases. My skepticism around the test was based on the order the pictures and words were presented. After taking multiple series with pictures on a certain side, and then the pictures reversing, it felt as if the brain was already conditioned to a go to a particular side. My other skepticism…

been trying to determine for years. Sure, nature plays the role of determining what we look like physically, but does it help us develop as a functioning human? Eye color, hair color and height are just a part of who we are. Our personality and intelligence also play a significant role in our lives.

Personality is a topic so complex and intertwined with both itself and outside factors it’s difficult to pinpoint any one specific cause for a trait, especially on a personal level. Ultimately, the fact that personality is a multiplicity of different factors and effects all intricately combined is the only thing we can really seem to be sure of. Luckily, this hasn’t stopped those in the field of psychology from trying to explain it. It’s complexity may even be the reason so many people find it…

person’s environment has a more significant impact on a person’s development. Scientists know for a fact that eye color, hair color, height, and other similar traits are in our genetic makeup. However, there is no way for scientists to tell if intelligence, personality, likes and dislikes, and sexual orientation is coded in a person’s DNA. The biggest studies that people who debate on this theory look at are ones where twins are separated at birth. Scientists look at…

Felisha Ell Psychology 30 Ms. MacPherson Sept. 26, 2017 Nature vs Nurture There has been a question that has been the target of much debate for centuries; does nature or nurture have a greater influence on us humans?

Nurture is the aspect of how people are raised and the experiences we face that shape us into who we personality-wise. This debate has proven to be very with all the…

Have you ever thought about why a person does what they do or why they act the way they do? Nature vs nurture is an old debate that determines which has the bigger influence on a person’s personality, either genetics or society.

But it’s pretty obvious that Nurture takes more part in a child's body, and how their…

Nature or Nurture: What Determines the Creature’s Behavior The argument between nature and nurture has been a huge debate over the centuries. People debate whether a person’s character is the result of nature or nurture. Nature includes characteristics that a person is born with, while nurturing is how a person is raised. In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley makes an impression that evidently supports the fact that one’s surroundings and experiences help shape a person’s character.…

to increase his intelligence through an experimental surgery. Following the experimental process, Daniel Keyes uses the techniques of the juxtaposition of events such as the thematic apperception test, as well as changes his writing style’s literacy skills via a first-person progress report format to entertainingly portray changes in Charlie’s intelligence, and his understanding of the world, to the audience. Utilising these techniques Keyes shows changes in Charlie intelligence through the…

Studies have proven that intelligence is a component of both nature and nurture. These researchers have learned that children, who were raised in wealthy and educated households, will grow up to be more perceptive that children who grew up in tough, poor homes. This conclusion was…
