Al-Khwarizmi’s knowledge in trigonometry and how he used it to complete trigonometric astronomical tables. This allowed him to interpret the movement of celestial bodies. Al-Khwarizmi was able to provide very accurate tables for the trigonometric functions of sine and cosine in his time. This meant that Al-Khwarizmi was able to calculate the sine and cosine values for special angles such as 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. Later on, he was also able to create tangent tables,…

Erard shows that bilinguals are better cognitive thinkers. His research reveals that going from language to language is easier. (This is the same for multitasking, and focusing on certain tasks, while later transitioning with ease.) Their executive functions were more mature, and the effects of aging were lessened. Since language knowledge improves brain health, the mind lives longer alongside multiple languages or dialects. Bilingualism in children proves this point, since children are learning…

invariant (LTI) systems the relationship between the input and the output could be described in the frequency domain through frequency response functions (FRFs). In these systems an input with the frequency of f1 creates an output at frequency f2. The gain function of FRFs describes the relationship between input and output amplitudes and the phase function describes the timing information (i.e. lead or lag). Periodic systems like locomotion however are not LTI. Close to their point of operation…

Brittany Serkus Relationship between Media Multitasking and Executive Function in Early Adolescents Georgian Court University Relationship between Media Multitasking and Executive Function in Early Adolescents The recent development of media technologies has made great changes to the way individuals consume media content. With convenient access to the media, individuals are more likely to overuse these technological services, resulting in increased media saturation. Having access…

improved non-linguistic cognitive functioning in the elderly. Another problem with the claim of a bilingual advantage is that determining the direction of causality is difficult. It is hard to determine whether bilingualism is enhancing executive function or the reverse. In order to resolve this problem, we need appropriate designs and optimal statistical methods as well as carefully selected measures of executive…

In preparation for fractions number talk what I observed was very beneficial for students at the carpet it allowed students to discuss and share with one another. I liked the fact that after a student share students had to give a particular cue saying if they agreed with peer. I thought that was awesome. I also like how she went over what to expect during learning at table and how students will share. So some type of feedback was to be expected even if student did not still quite understand. As…

Introduction Ullsperger, Bylsma, and Botvinick (2005) investigated a phenomenon called conflict adaptation, which refers to the pattern in which the difference in response times between incongruent and congruent trials in a basic flanker task is smaller when the current trial follows an incongruent trial. At the time of their study, there was a debate in the field concerning what drives this effect. A previous study by Botvinick, Nystrom, Fissell, Carter, and Cohen (1999) argued that this…

Early acquisition of vocabulary, and the development of linguistic and communicative competence have been largely associated with the input children get from their environment. The social world, home environment, and routines children are exposed to provide the input they need in order to become competent speakers. Even when the child is in utero, the spoken language outside of the womb affects children’s sensitivity to certain sounds. Consistent with this idea, there is evidence showing that…

The spiral model, a methodology that maximizes risk management to reduce risk to its lowest form. It is also more appropriate for handling complex requirements that are needed for the information system. Because of its iterative process, it is easy to adjust to ongoing requirements that the client may want without any issues arising. This is best suited for companies that are medium to large of size, as most of these system projects run from medium to high risk. Although this can be a very…

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) involves brain atrophy in areas of the core network (i.e. prefrontal, parietal and temporal cortices; McKee et al., 2006). These regions have been implicated in episodic memory (EM), memories for events related to one’s personal past (Buckner et al., 2005), and mental simulation for the future (Addis, Wong, & Schacter, 2007; Hassabis, Kumaran, & Maguire, 2007). Episodic future thinking (EFT) refers to the ability to envision oneself in a future or imagined scene that one…
