Just recently was nephew was placed on an autism spectrum. Throughout his life he always presented with different qualities. He would break out crying, falling out, and throwing things. When he turned three we took him and got him examined, and told us he was on the spectrum for autism. My love for a special needs child grew much fonder. There is a plan and a purpose, a value to every life, no matter what its location, age, gender or disability (Sharron Angle, n.d). My sister had a very hard…

How well is our brain able to focus and not let distractors get in the way? Through results of flanker tasks, it seems that our brain is not that good with ignoring distractors. This leads to a debate on whether top down processes are used in both targets and interfering distractors in flanker tasks or if bottom up processes are used. In a research article, titled “Top-Down Processes Override Bottom-up Interference in the Flanker Task” by Rotem Avital-Cohen and Yehoshua Tsal, it is clear that…

Introduction Several learning disabilities exhibit symptoms that are very similar to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). These disorders affect sensory perception. One is Audio Processing Disorder (APD), another is Visual Processing Disorder (VPD), and the third is Sensory Processing Disorder (VPD). This paper defines these four disorders, explores commonalities among symptoms, and offers suggestions of accommodations that could help in a classroom where multiples of these…

the individual has an adaptive response. An individual is composed of eight senses, which are tactile, olfactory, gustatory, visual, auditory, vestibular, proprioception and intraception. Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), also known as Sensory Integration Disorder, is a neurological disorder that makes it difficult for an individual to process and organize information received from the senses. Three categories of sensory modulation are sensory over-responsive, sensory under-responsive and…

improve. The repetition of this given exercise leads to improvement through practice, but cannot be applied to a new task. In an online article “Treating Sensory Processing Issues” which supports the use of SI therapy, the concept behind Sensory Integration Therapy is explained by Beth Arkly. Beth is a writer at Child Mind Institute, a website dedicated to providing care for children with disabilities. She writes "The idea behind SI therapy is that specific movement activities, resistive body…

Rachael Barnes February 7th, 2016 Dr. Queen Visual Search Lab Introduction Jeremy Wolfe is a psychologist who was particularly interested studying visual attention and visual search. The term “visual search” is used to describe the action of using one’s visual modality to identify an object given to you. Wolfe (2011) posed the question “how you find what you are looking for in a visual world filled with these things that you are not looking for?” (p.1). When it comes to visual search we…

The development and application of AI can change and affect person’s mode of thinking. For example, traditional knowledge usually appears in books and magazines as a constant. However, the database from AI is fixable, renewable, and extensible. Another example, once people begin to trust the decisions that made by artificial intelligence, they become lazy and no longer want to do a lot of thinking. The students who rely on the calculators too much are losing initiative thinking ability and…

In business, horizontal integration is a strategy where a company creates or acquires production units for outputs which are alike - either complementary or competitive. The acquisition of this additional business activity is at the same level of the value chain in similar or different industries. This can be achieved by internal or external expansion. Because the different firms are involved in the same stage of production, horizontal integration allows them to share resources at that level. If…

Two unsuccessful mergers/acquisitions were Bank of America’s acquisition of Countrywide and the AOL and Time Warner merger. Bank of America made the decision to acquire Countrywide at what was considered a low price of $2.5 billion dollars. AOL and Time Warner merged their company together as “AOL would own 55 percent of the new company and Time Warner, 45 percent. But the new board would have an equal number of AOL and Time Warner directors” (Arango, 2010, para. 25). Both of these deals are…

Wiencek further argues that the trial court erred by considering “parol evidence to vary the effective date of the [B108 agreement] and to controvert the integration clause.” CHH, for its part, avers that the admission of parol evidence was proper because it was offered to determine whether the contract was effective. We hold that the circuit court did not violate the parole evidence rule because extrinsic evidence was not offered to add or modify any terms to the B108 agreement. Generally,…
