How cognitive theories have contributed to the study of psychology This essay reads that human memory can be sub-divided into different systems, therefore psychologists produce theories of memory based on research which can be applied for practical use to support their ideas. The aim of the theories are to help explain how memory works and whether they can be of help to science. For example, understanding how memory is affected by suffers of amnesia or brain injuries. James argued that memory…

teaching music literacy has yet to be discovered. Hodges studied many different teaching techniques used by music teachers that showed an overall high level of disagreement. He argued that there were opposing views on teaching strategies such as mnemonic devices, aural models, computerized drills, and composing activities (3-4).

Thought Paper No. 1 I have one older sister who recently turned 21 who I am very close with. For the majority of the time she is very easy to get along with because she has a very sunny disposition, is very energetic, kind, and is has pretty solid communication (for the most part). However, she is an entirely different person when she is on her period because she suffers from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, PMDD, which Mayo Clinic describes as, “…a severe, sometimes disabling…

We need to be aware that all children are different and have different styles of learning. An ideal lesson will aim to incorporate at least three to four different intelligences to reach out to more children. I personally am a big fan of the Multiple Intelligence Theory and its methodology because I have personally seen that “the more ways we teach, the more children we reach!” – The greater the meaning and connections from multiple contexts, the better. Making a topic web is a great lesson…

There’s always a piece of information I haven’t considered or even known, but in the destruction of my past selves is not a harmful process, it’s the very reason I have grown and learned more rightly the way the world is. The first example of…

What initially seemed to be a regular police raid on a random June night in 1969 turned into riots lasting several evenings, with an impact that would continue to this day. Often people divide the history of the United States’ gay rights movement into two epochs- “before Stonewall” and “after Stonewall”. Accordingly, this distinction illustrates the Stonewall Riots’ individual importance for gay rights even as it was not the first event to highlight the injustices of homophobia. Despite its…
