A blank can be defined in various ways. It can be defined as a situation, belief, or idea that reduces people to nothing more than inferior objects. I have been a blank space only a few times in my life. All of these experiences resulted in personal growth and maturity .Similar to the perceptions of condescending individuals who deemed minorities of African descent as inferior in Heart of Darkness and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. At Camp A, I was reduced from an individual to a…

Chapter IV Prey Sensitization, Learning and Memory in Reduviids: Implications in Biological Control 4.1. Introduction Sensitization is an increasing response to a stimulus presented repeatedly while habituation denotes a failure of response to the stimulus (Staddon, 1988). The process of sensitization has enormous adaptive value. When a prey escapes from the clutches of a predator as a result of exhibiting a response, it gets sensitized. If and when a second attempt at capture is initiated by…

ASSIGNMENTS Part I - The most commonly known and labeled senses are sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Considering this, please address the following a) Do you think that there may be senses which do not necessarily receive information only from the environment, but rather from within us as well? (For example, how do you sense that you are hungry? If you hold your breath, which sense ‘senses’ that you need air? How do you sense the need for belonging?) Yes, I do believe that…

as accurate as it was once thought to be. In fact, Science magazine reports that eyewitness testimony was the basis for approximately 75 percent of wrongful convictions for murder and rape. It is a common misconception that the human mind recalls memories like a video recorder replaying recorded events. Rather, remembering events is more like putting the pieces of a puzzle together, according…

used to the extreme and unsuccessfully at that. Researchers at Cornell University recently proved that sexual orientation did indeed correlate with pupil dilation when the subjects were shown erotic videos of their preferred gender however this was only when averaged across male subjects. Pupillometry did however become popular in the advertising industry during the 70’s when it was used to test consumer’s responses to TV adverts. This practice was eventually abandoned however when it was noted…

Hebbian theory is a neuroscientific theory on learning and synaptic plasticity. Hebbian learning relates to mirror neurons, as it provides a possible theory as to the emergence of mirror neurons. Mirror neurons are neurons, which fire both when the individual themselves in performing an action, as well as when they view others performing the same action. Evidence of mirror neurons was first discovered by Di Pellegrino, Fadiga, Fogassi, Gallese, and Rizzolatti (1992) in a study of macaque…

In the teachings of Hinduism reincarnation is widely accepted as the process of a dead body’s soul entering into a newborn body and starting a new life. The Bhagavad Gita proclaims, “Just as the soul acquires a childhood body, a youth body, and an old age body during this life; similarly, the soul acquires another body after death…” (The Bhagavad-Gita, 2.13) and also “Just as a person puts on new garments after discarding the old ones; similarly, the living entity or the individual soul acquires…

information occurs once the information is in short term memory if not attended to; this is known as a Late Selection Model (LSM). This slight variation in models leads to very different ideas as to the nature of short-term memory. ESM believe that short term memory is a small store that can only hold Miller’s 7+/-2 capacity and attention is the process to filter the information. However LSM belief that short term memory is much larger but still only has the same resources so stimulus decays…
