more about everyday as a young child. When I started to get older and the reading and writing started to get more complex, I started to struggle with the understanding and concepts of the subject. Writing is something at a young age that I hadn 't really ever understood very well but I do enjoy the subject. There 's just something about it that relaxes me and at a young age it was an…
As previously mentioned, in addition to the structural priming paradigm, the proposed study will make use of the measurement of event-related potentials via EEG. In order to measure the potentials accurately, there needs to be a starting point for which to begin the EEG measurements. Peter Hagoort (2008) suggests that the EEG measurement for an experiment measuring the P600, such as the proposed study, should begin at the final word of the sentence. However, I disagree with this idea, and side…
them to have a versatile understanding of what is happening around them. Nietzsche refers to the will to power as an iceberg where the casual connection between thoughts, feelings and desires are the top of the iceberg and can be seen. Whereas, the subject and the object of a certain power are hidden from us, as they appear to be purely imaginary this is represented to be the bottom of the iceberg, where it can not be seen by others. The apparent inner world has the same factors such as forms…
The Paradox on the Use of Technology for Taking Notes During the first few weeks as a college freshman I identified many contrasts of a higher education and the public school system I was formed in. Grade school, and eventually secondary school, highly discouraged the use of electronics in the classroom. In fact, the use of electronic devices at all on campus was grounds for detention, a confiscation of the ‘contraband,’ and the phoning of parents to retrieve the device from the assistant…
Even though "Hills Like White Elephants" was written in the 1920's, the topic of the story continues to be a controversial subject. The word abortion is never used throughout the story, but it is obvious early to the reader that the American is persuading a woman named Jig to undergo the procedure. It is evident she does not want the operation, but the American ignores her subtle hints. He pretends to be concerned with her thoughts and tries to moderate the difficult operation she is about to…

indicate a preference for expert contributors. To ensure information quality (IQ), consumers – users of data acquired from such crowdsourcing projects – implement gatekeeping strategies that vary in degree of subtleness and intentionality. These gatekeeping strategies stem from the underlying premise of a positive correlation between IQ and contributor’s level of expertise in a given domain. The assumption therefore, is that expertise leads to better contributions and the expert crowd is the…
debatable. The idea that you cannot be an expert without having an incredible memory is not absurd by any means but it is less accurate in today’s generation. As technology advances we no longer have the need to memorize frivolous information and as we advance our experts should as well. However, I do see Foer’s point when it comes to memory, if our experts are not willing to go beyond what we are then what exactly makes them experts. Holding our experts to a higher standard not only keeps them…
Figure 1: This line graph represents the prune’s weight in grams, in each beaker, over time. The prunes initial weight were all different, ranging from the heaviest prune in Beaker A, middleweight in Beaker B, and lowest weight in Beaker C. The weight of the prune in Beaker A increased at the fastest rate, followed by Beaker B and then Beaker C. Figure 2: This line graph represents the temperature of the water in each beaker, over time. The water’s initial temperature were all different,…
-Timing during your presentation: Another important aspect is timing. How long should you take to make your speech? Some think that it should all depend on the subject you want to talk about, which is true; but you should also think about the timing for the speech by asking yourself just how much is enough to inform, entertain or educate people. How much is enough for questions after the speech? How long is long enough, when you are using accessories or tools to help you for your presentation?…
