When it comes to individual, everyone has different levels of ability to deal with memory. In reality, you will find many women complaining that their husbands or boyfriends tend to forget their birthdays and anniversaries; and men always explain that they have bad memories. So, is it true that women have a better memory than men? Dose gender affect memory? The evidence shows that gender dose affect memory. In fact, men and women are equally affected by short-term memory loss. Nevertheless,…
Abstract The value for the acceleration of gravity was measured in this report through the investigation using three different methods, each varying in accuracy, to calculate the period of a pendulum. The period was measured by repeatedly timing the time it took for the pendulum to return to its original position once it was swung from a certain point (for the first method one oscillation was timed, however in the second and third ten oscillations were timed and the overall time was divided by…
Being successful in life is not always easy because of the different perspectives that success can be achieved. With many theories out there on success, it is hard to figure out what is needed to be done to gain success in everyone’s life since there are many different beliefs out there that can lead to it. In the book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell, there are numerous theories that are covered with examples of successful people that clearly show how success can be done in not just one way but…
To What Extent do IQ Tests Effectively Measure Intelligence? Introduction Albert Einstein, a famous theoretical physicist, once said that “the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” While scholastic aptitude can play a large role in determining one’s intelligence, creativity is also a major factor. IQ tests, or intelligence quotient tests, are supposed to measure intelligence, but due to their ability to measure creativity, their accuracy is highly debated. According to…
Normalizing the Function of Autistic Children Wei Chi Chang Arizona State University Normalizing the Function of Autistic Children Despite the fact that Lovaas (1987) claimed that the result indicated early intensive behavioral therapy would be efficient and beneficial, Schopler, Short, and Mesibov (1989) criticized the study by pointing out three major flaws— subject selection bias, adequacy of the control group, and inappropriate outcome measures. The subject selection bias was…

Variance Decomposition Analysis The variance decomposition analysis has applied to quantify the extent up to which the selected indices one influenced by each other. We can also examine the short run dynamic relationship by variance decomposition. While impulse response functions trace the effects of a shock to one endogenous variable in the VAR, variance decomposition separates the variation in an endogenous variable in to the component shocks to the VAR. Thus, the variance decomposition…
Along my journey, I encountered the following distributions; Normal, Exponential and Gamma. Additional continuous distributions are Weibull, Lognormal, and Beta. Normal Distribution (ND) is the first discovered landmark. ND is the most common distribution with regard to the central limit theorem which defines the averages of the variables from independent distributions…
Introduction Sleep is an important component for maintaining, sustaining, and optimizing academic performance. Different lifestyle needs fluctuate the amount of sleep between individuals and often led them to attain inadequate sleep. Sufficient sleep has been linked to the enhancement of emotional and social function, whereas insufficient sleep reduces cognitive function and negatively affects academic readiness (Deuster & Yarnell, 2016). Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles…
