Levels-of-processing effect

IRRADIATION Food irradiation is the processing of food products by ionising radiation in order to control food borne pathogens, reduce microbial load and insect infestation, inhibit the germination of root crops, and extend the durable life of perishable produce (International Consultative Group, 1991). Application of ionizing radiation results in the radiolysis of water. This triggers the development of species such as OH−, hydrated electron and H+, which can then induce several chemical…

injury. This scale measures the level of consciousness that ranges from alertness to coma. Scores are given according to response levels in three areas: eye opening, verbal response, and motor response. The scores range from the numbers three to fifteen. Three being the most severe and fifteen a mild injury. These scores also fall into three categories: Mild GCS: 13-15, Moderate GCS: 9-12, and Severe GCS: 3-8. Based on his injuries John experienced a severe level of injury scoring a 7 in the…

substances and mixtures. These chemicals were beginning to cause a lot of health problems to humans. This caused the lawmakers to believe that among the substances that are being constantly developed and produced, there are some whose manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use or disposal may present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. So, they had to act before these chemicals ravished humanity. The law gave power to the Environmental Agency Protection,…

ASSIGNMENT 2: MEMORY (1) Explain what each of the following terms means: (a) Consistency bias, (b) retroactive interference, (c) proactive interference. 1a: Consistency bias means that people tend to exaggerate the consistency between our past feelings or beliefs with our current viewpoint. 1b: Retroactive interference means that people have trouble recalling old material because of recently learned material interfering with old memories. 1c: Proactive interference means that people have…

Fortification is one way in which food processing can alter the bioactive profile of a food. Significant health crises have been resolved via the implementation in 1924 of the addition of iodine to salt to prevent goiter and the 1940s implementation of the additions of vitamin D to milk to prevent rickets and niacin to flour to prevent pellagra. A more recent example is the establishment of the addition of folate to bread and breakfast cereals to prevent neural tube defects in the offspring of…

higher level of sensory deficits in ADHD, there is also a higher level of delinquency and aggression. A child with sensory over-responsivity may also be associated with anxiety.…

1) The first stage, low-level property extraction. This stage consists of detection of shape, spatial attributes, orientation, color, texture, movement and often called “preattentive” processing. Important characteristics of Stage 1 processing include: • Rapid parallel processing • Extraction of features, orientation, color, texture, and movement patterns • Transitory nature of information, which is briefly held in an iconic store • Bottom-up, data-driven model of processing 2) The second stage,…

Mostly a privately funded program, the Harmony Project provides free music instructions for disadvantaged children (more than 2000), whose schools had stopped offering music classes. The project fosters the healthy development of children’s auditory processing and learning skills in general. As Vianey Calixto, one of the participants, said in an interview, “Music is like a dialogue because we can play a certain thing—let’s say the violins can play something back—it could be the same melody but…

This website gave me the same basic knowledge of dyslexia, some facts about dyslexia, and information on phonological processing; it also gave me a video explaining dyslexia. Dyslexia is in no way a determining factor of intelligence. Dyslexia varies in each person that has it, but all of them will read at a lower level than usual for their age. Of students with a learning disability, eighty percent have dyslexia making it the most common learning disability. Dyslexia…

in order to test the assumption that differences in brain activation were due to expertise levels alone, two non-expert control groups were tested to see if they experienced similar activity levels while watching both styles of dance. If they both experienced similar activity levels then it could be concluded that any differences in action observation activity were due to differences in the expertise levels of the two groups. The fMRI images were analyzed and the results demonstrated bilateral…
