Assessment: Pediatric Early Elementary Examination, PEEX2 The purpose of this exam is to gain a comprehensive picture of a child and, their neurodevelopmental growth. The exam is used to identify specific areas of weakness that warrant further assessment. Summary: Trent is a right handed 8.11year old boy. He seemed relaxed to begin the testing session and was engaged with the examiner, Mr. Mel Levine. Throughout the testing session, Trent responded to conversations, was flexible to prompts,…

They argue that “errors first must be detected to be corrected; consistent with this argument, two experiments showed that false memories were nearly eliminated when conditions facilitated comparisons between participants’ errors and corrective feedback (e.g., immediate trial-by-trial feedback that allowed direct comparisons between their responses…

when you combine individual things and group them together. (cite text book) In previous research done by Karen Doyle (2015), Doyle found to support that rats would use cognitive chunking strategy to find a difference in patterns. She had done two experiments, one determining the extent in which rats do chunk randomly or in a specific set of how…

working memory model, as introduced by Baddeley and Hitch in 1974, outlined two distinct components: the phonological loop (PL) which deals with auditory information, and the visuospatial sketchpad which is concerned with visuo-spatial data. The PL consists of two parts, the phonological store and the articulatory control process (ACP). According to Baddeley and Hitch, auditory information is held in the store for about two seconds while the ACP recycles this information, through…

term memory (LTM) and short term memory (STM), such as differences in their capacity of storage and duration of which information can be withheld within each store. Other theorists propose unitary-store models which favour similarities between the two. Evidence for both models are discussed and evaluated below. Multi-store models Atkinson and Shriffin’s modal model (1968) was a notable pioneer of this theory. It consisted of sensory…

Memory is an extremely important element in shaping our intellect. Technology should not be relied upon to replace memory. At any point, technology can crash, or information can be inaccurate, so it should not be depended on to give answers and information. Memorization and research are better means to building our intellect. Technology can sometimes be a distraction from communication, learning and gaining intellect. Many would rather use technology to store the information we need in place…

The article, “The Digit Span Backwards Task: Verbal and Visual Cognitive Strategies in Working Memory Assessment”, by Hilbert, Sven, Tristan T. Nakagawa, Patricia Puci, Alexandra Zech, and Markus Buhner, aims at investigating the differences in performance between visualizers and verbalizers cognitive strategies by using digit span backwards. The digit span backwards has been used for many decades to assess the working memory capacity. The concept of working memory initiates the way we are able…

term working memory appears to have been first proposed by Miller” (Baddeley, 2001). Later in the paper he states, “the process of sub vocal articulation also seems to plan an important role” (Baddeley, 2001). The use of “appears” and “seems” are two examples where the authors’ tone created uncertainty, which reduces confidence in the validity of the article. Another inconsistency dealt with abbreviations throughout the article. For example, without referring to it once, Baddeley uses “STM”…

bisector for each angle of the tri. Insert the lines & make sure that your long to the point where you can see the point of intersection of the 3 lines. * Based off that we can already say that Amy is definitely right & the procedure is right but we need two more steps so.. * Insert a line perpendicular to a side that goes through the intersection point if that makes sense. Make…

Alpha (α) Radiation The alpha radiations particles have 2 protons and 2 neutrons which are in a helium nucleus. As the alpha particles emit the helium nucleus the nucleus gives away the two protons and two neutrons. As a result of this the mass number will reduce by 4 and the atomic number will result in reducing by 2. This is known as alpha decay. One source of alpha radiation could be plutonium 239. The alpha particles have many characteristics. First of all the alpha radiation has a helium…
