Long-term memory

This is the background research on the science fair project about how short term memory is affected by age. Short term memory acts as a kind of “scratch pad” for the temporary storage of information that is being understood by the brain. Short term memory is sometimes referred to as the brains post-it-notes. It is thought of as the ability to recall and understand at the same time. It typically can only hold up to seven items or less. The information is only active for about ten to fifteen…

This sleep deprivation study titled Maternal sleep deprivation at different stages of pregnancy impairs the emotional and cognitive functions, and suppresses hippocampal long-term potentiation in the offspring rats was conducted by six researchers known as Peng, Y., Wang, W., Tan, T., He, W., Dong, Z., Wang, Y., & Han H. They proceeded with this study by obtaining male and female Sprague–Dawley rats from Chongqing Medical University Animal Care Centre. Next, they took these rats to the…

Our memory is a crucial part in our everyday lives. It helps us to process and understand outside information. With the help of our memory we are able to figure out who, what, where, when and how. We are born with an internal filing cabinet that stores all the information we retain, and files it into our long term and short term memory while we sleep. Our memory is not just remembering something, it's the process that informations is encoded, stored, and retrieved. To create a new memory…

spatial memory task. The participants in this study consisted of 46 undergraduate volunteers, 21 men, 26 women, with ages raging from 18-23.

End-of-Life Issues It is very common in nursing facility to deal with death of their residents. The fact is that most of the residents in the long-term care facilities will live their till the…

Number of plasticity studies explained the crucial role of Short Term synaptic Plasticity (STP) in modulating the timing of signal processing through mediating the driven input frequency and filtering the signal propagation which is required for maintaining network activity (Tsodyks et al., 1998; Dittman et al, 2000 and Wang et al., 2006). In parallel, other studies revealed the intricate details of the neurobiological explanation implicated in STP (Loebel et al., 2002 and Barak et al., 2007).…

“Short-term lets you hold a restaurant's phone number in your mind as you dial the number, you rely on your short-term memory. This storage is capable of holding roughly seven items of information for approximately 15 to 20 seconds.” (Foster, 2011) Short-term memory is very restricted and needs to make room for all original knowledge coming in consistently. “Long-term is a more permanent storage, hoarding information over hours, days or years. This information can take the form of declarative…

Nurse Case Management Model During the end of this summary, I am requested to write a term paper of analysis of nursing care delivery model. I am a case manager so I would like to write a paper of nurse case management in this term paper.

DRIFTED is crime-thriller drama within a sci-fi time travel plot. The idea is very creative and imaginative. The story contains solid themes about fate, destiny, second chances and making the right life choices. There’s a lot to like about the script, but at the same time, the plot is very challenging to follow and it lacks clarification. Thus, the script would benefit from further development. First, the story begins well. The idea that a small time crook can see pieces of the future is…

concept of working memory, that lies at the heart of the Baddeley and Hitch Model (1974) and assess its application in everyday life. The concept of working memory originated from the unitary short-term memory store projected by Atkinson and Shiffrin (Baddeley, 2003). Working memory allows for the storage, retaining of information for a specified period of time and manipulating that information for performance of cognitive activities. A multi-component model of working memory was proposed by…
