Levels-of-processing effect

evaluations further highlight the damages, their extent and modification. The system comprises of six integrated modules which are: • Module 1 - the sensory system, • Module 2 - the data acquisition and transmission system, • Module 3 - the data processing and control system, • Module 4 - the structural health evaluation system, • Module 5 - the structural health data management system, • Module 6 - the inspection and maintenance…

(pronounced Sammy) is a natural compound made by the body's cells. It is thought to increase levels of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are essential for mood regulation. Besides elevating mood, it also helps relieve anxiety and increases sound sleep. Sam-e works within a few days to two weeks as opposed to three to four weeks with prescription antidepressants. Side effects are…

could be useful as the functional ingredient with health-promoting qualites (Jimenez et al.,2008). Consuming large amounts of soluble fiber may help to control blood sugar levels after meals by slowing down the rate of carbohydrate absorption in the intestine. Soluble fiber also lowers blood cholesterol level and triglyceride level by binding the cholesterol and helping to pass it out of our body. However, high-protein diet may be beneficial for people with diabetes. Okara contains about 50%…

Physical activity is the intentional, organised and purposive driven way to enhance particular physical skills or overall physical fitness (Booth, Gordon, Carlson, Hamilton, 2000). Many studies propose that physical activity and exercise are able to decrease the risk of undesirable consequences related with advancing aging (Myers, Prakash, Froelicher, Do, Partington, Atwood, 2002, pg. 794). Advanced aging or senescence, has been known to increase the risk of chronic conditions and diseases such…

The purpose of this experiment was to identify the different absorbance levels and response between normal cells and cancerous cells. Also, the difference between resting or stimulated cells and whether they have a difference in absorbance from each other. Inactivated forms of ERK cells don’t react and bind to the antibody on the ELISA plate, therefore this results in a no colour change on the plate. Whereas activated with added phosphate ERK cells react with the antibody and so antibodies do…

consumption and its processing depends on various factors such as age, size and gender, among others. Here are some myths on alcohol consumption that do not hold true in reality. Myth 1: Soft liquor doesn’t get you drunk. A common misconception centers on soft liquor and its alcoholic effects. Don’t assume that drinking of soft liquors like wine or beer means less alcohol content in your blood, which means lesser chances of you getting drunk. The factor that influences your intoxication…

affected by Dopamine are the hypothalamus, substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area. Dopamine is linked to movement, memory, attention, inhibition of prolactin production, learning, sleep, mood, pleasurable reward, behavior, pain processing and cognition in the body. Symptoms of dopamine deficiencies are lack of motivation, fatigue, procrastination, inability to feel pleasure, low libido, sleep problems, mood swings, hopelessness, memory loss and the inability to concentrate.…

needing to be frequently recharged, this product can be seamlessly integrated into the user’s life as long as the parts do not require maintenance. To accomplish this, the processing and communication systems must be both well-protected and well-connected. For protection, there shall be a protective case containing the processing and communication systems that is able to withstand up to 220lbs. It shall function within the expected error under such forces. Finally, the computer components of the…

negative trend between number of characters and the recalled accuracy through the percentage of correctness. The same test also displayed the significant effect of the interaction between number of characters and randomized color, F(3,6) = 20.364, p = 0.002. With same ANOVA test, the within-subjects contrasts showed a significant difference among the levels of number of characters, F(1,2) = 65.871, p = 0.015. The within-subjects contrast also reveal a significant difference between randomized…

by Stroop (as cited in Stroop, 1935) and subsequent Stroop effect studies. The automatic process related with reading that is evident in the present experiment correlates with the research conducted by Schneider and Shiffrin (as cited in Shiffrin and Schneider, 1977), that overlearned actions can interfere with attending to other tasks. Therefore results are indicative of automatic processing taking place, as opposed to controlled processing. The participants read a colour related word and even…
