Iterated function

Early acquisition of vocabulary, and the development of linguistic and communicative competence have been largely associated with the input children get from their environment. The social world, home environment, and routines children are exposed to provide the input they need in order to become competent speakers. Even when the child is in utero, the spoken language outside of the womb affects children’s sensitivity to certain sounds. Consistent with this idea, there is evidence showing that…

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves brain atrophy in areas of the core network (i.e. prefrontal, parietal and temporal cortices; McKee et al., 2006). These regions have been implicated in episodic memory (EM), memories for events related to one’s personal past (Buckner et al., 2005), and mental simulation for the future (Addis, Wong, & Schacter, 2007; Hassabis, Kumaran, & Maguire, 2007). Episodic future thinking (EFT) refers to the ability to envision oneself in a future or imagined scene that one…

Executive function is defined as “cognitive control abilities depending on the prefrontal cortex that organize, sequence, and regulate behaviors” and self-regulation is defined as “the ability to regulate resources in the service of achieving goals” (Schonert-Reichl…

necessary for our occupations, but due to certain circumstances we are both unable to produce. Why might this be occurring in my instance? Well, the oversaturation of ‘creative and free thinking’ assignments has robbed my mind of the ability to think and function in a ‘collegiate’ way. Throughout the years, I have accumulated numerous topics that I have a wide range of knowledge about, and put them on a list for future essay references. Overtime, I cross each topic off my list at a slow enough…

As a result of substantial research into complex human memory mechanisms; particularly within the last thirty years, the phenomenon of directed forgetting has been widely applied to both counselling professions; for suppression of previously traumatic events and also in general everyday use; as the ability to forget previous, unrequired information. Directed forgetting can be defined as an overall reduction in long-term memory, resulting from human demand to forget previously presented…

Mrs. Coty’s idea of giving the students a chance to share their notes, thoughts, and methods regarding their homework was incredible. It allowed for students to see what was expected of them. Many students skipped the section where they were asked to round and very few drew a picture as they were directed to. By displaying the work of those who did what was asked of them and getting the class to discuss why this was helpful to them allowed for those who did well to feel proud of their…

One of the reasons why companies expand internationally is to have access to new markets. One such global company, who this writer happens to be very familiar with, is an automobile dealer group called Weins Canada, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Weins Group in Japan. The company got its start in 1956 with its first dealership network, called Yokohama Toyopet. The company’s founder, Kanji Miyahara Sr., saw an opportunity to diversify and, potentially, to add exponential growth in…
