Introduction As a service professional at Red Lobster in Kentwood, MI you are walking around helping the servers get drinks, appetizers, food, desserts, and their bills to their table in a timely fashion. The server will ask you if you can void off an entrée, drink, or even a simple dessert because it is their birthday. Whatever the case may be you are there to help them. On Saturday night, the last night of endless shrimp, we were fairly busy we had been on a wait, servers were starting to…
During the course of the semester we have learned many theories and concepts explaining why interpersonal and intrapersonal communication is the way it is. We have learned to apply and be aware of them in our everyday life. To explain these concepts and theories I will be using Season 1 of a show called Rosewood to apply what I have learned this semester. Rosewood is a fairly new television series that airs on Fox and have been airing since September 2015. The two main characters that I will be…
1.Making Connections The first connection that i made was with Hank. When he just woke up in Penn Station and was really confused because of all the noise. In the test it says, “My eyes shoot open, and there is too much. Of everything. Blurred figures, moving. White lights. Muffled waves of sound. Voices. Music. Chaos.”(page1) This show how Henry was disoriented by all the sound and because of his concussion. I can connect to this because I’ve had a concussion once and I know how it feels. I’ve…
The Broca’s area, seems to have an important part in the left hemisphere of the brain. Although, the Broca’s area is located in the frontal part of the left hemisphere, where it projects the speech aspect of the left brain. It seems, to many people speech isn't a big deal for the left hemisphere to carry, yet it has a lot to do with connecting to the right side in order for sentences and words to come out nearly almost correctly. Broca’s area, was discovered in 1861 by a man named Paul Broca.…
Hearing is a complex process where thousands of tiny hair cells, located in the cochlea of the ear, convert vibrations of sound waves into electrical nerve pulses. These pulses are understood by the brain to be what a person hears as sound. Hearing loss can occur throughout any part of the ear, and in varying degrees of severity. As hearing loss can affect a child’s ability to develop speech, language, and social skills, it is important to identify any signs and symptoms early in the child’s…

• Listening skills: The therapist most listen attentively to the client in an attempt to understand both the content of their problem and the emotions they are experiencing related to the problem. The therapist does not make interpretations of the client's problems or offer any premature suggestions as to how to deal with, or solve the issues presented. They listen and try to understand the concerns being presented. Most people want and need to be heard and understood, not advised. • Empathy and…
In his own original work What to Listen for in Music, Copland describes three different crucial planes that we each must experience in order to “actively” listen to a piece of music. The first plane being the sensuous plane, which describes when one listens to music for mere pleasure. It is how we listen to music when we are not truly thinking about what we are listening to. This would include listening to music in the car or while we exercise. We get a sense of satisfaction when we hear a song…
How does sight and hearing affect your reaction time? Introduction/Background: Many researchers have confirmed that the reaction time for sound is faster than reaction time for sight. Average reaction times for hearing being 140-160 milliseconds and a visual reaction time being 180-200 milliseconds. (Galton, 1899; Woodworth and Schlosberg, 1954). This is because an auditory stimulus only takes 8-10 milliseconds to reach the brain (Kemp et al., 1973) whilst a visual stimulus takes 20-40…
to help us localize and discriminate where sounds are coming from in our surroundings. It seems hard to believe but our ears never stop working, even when we are sleeping. Our ears have the ability to detect the softest of sounds, when there is no hearing loss. The outer ear is responsible for the detection of sound. The pinna acts like a metal detect for sounds. It collects…
