is learning a new language. Often times when a person is learning new vocabulary they relate the new terms to the language they already know in order to. This task is very helpful to recognize when learning new information as using paired associates to study and remember…

Description of the problem/issue Long Term Care (LTC) “is a range of services” one may need to support their personal care needs. LTC helps individuals with some of the most basic Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) like eating, bathing, and dressing. LTC also helps support Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) including: housework, medication management, cleaning, and grocery shopping (“What is Long Term Care?”). LTC services in the United States help meet the needs of older adults…

Introduction The world is inundated with the media and multitasking. Therefore, with information so readily accessible that it seems almost impossible for your working and short-term memory to retrieve and hold memory in the mind. This article investigated how the attention of impulse relates to level of which participants multitasked with the media. The study hypothesized that frequent multitasking induces psychosocial and cognitive differences or whether the participants with these differences…

memory as a fairly simple thing, they either have a good or bad memory. Psychologists however categorize memory into into different types of memory, based on the information stored and how long it is stored. These different types of memory are held in 'stores', consisting of the sensory, short-term and long-term memory. The multi-store model of memory was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. The first store of memory is the sensory memory. This 'store' of memory is the first stage in…

While short term…

the capacity and duration for which we store what we have learned. Short-term memory has the most limitations; it is fragile and can be lost quickly. Of the two types of memory, long-term is essentially limitless and is accessed through three different types – semantic, procedural, and…

knowledge of macromolecules to address a situation in your life? If you have struggled to answer either question previously addressed, you are not alone. Consider this: you may not have been a part of an experience when learning what this term means; therefore, this term does not have meaning to you. Across the country, educators tend to do what they have experienced or are familiar with. Growing up, classroom instruction was teacher-led direct instruction where the teacher was the source…

Long lasting forms of synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) have been shown to be fundamental cellular mechanisms underlying learning and memory. Induction of LTP occurs concomitantly with learning in the hippocampus of freely-moving animals and is known to prevent occludes subsequent electrical induction of LTP in the hippocampus (Whitlock et al., 2006). Conversely, saturation of hippocampal LTP is also known to interfere with spatial memory…

Short-term memory is a broad topic that has been studied by many psychologists for many years to discover the factors of cognitive. Many past studies have concluded that short term memory is very limited and can only hold up to just a few seconds of information. In order to retain information for a longer period of time, many techniques such as repeating information, can possibly be converted into long term memory. The purpose of this study is to determine which gender can score higher on a…

Take a moment and look back on a memory that you would rather forget. Maybe you are picturing a relationship that ended badly, or perhaps the death of a family member. Maybe you are remembering a traumatic incident in your past, or maybe you are a war veteran trying not to relive the horrors of war. Regardless of the memory you have recalled, it is likely that, at some point in your life, you have come across one of these painful memories and wished there was a way to erase them from your mind.…
