...theories that explain FM include the source monitoring failure theory (Johnson, Hastroudi & Lindsay, 1993), activation monitoring theory (Roediger, Balota &Watson, 2001) and fuzzy trace theory (Brianerd & Reyna, 1998; Reyna & Brainerd, 1995). Due to word count limitations, this paper will explore the concept of FM using fuzzy trace theory, source monitoring errors and the misinformation effect to explain how FM occurs in the context of ET and why ET can never the representation of the complete truth. The FTT proposes that there are two parallel memory traces, the verbatim trace and the gist trace (Brianerd & Reyna, 1998; Reyna & Brainerd, 1995). The verbatim trace stores information item-by-item and is a verdicial representation of an event. The gist trace stores a generalised meaning based representation of an event. The FTT proposes that verbatim trace decays quickly whereas the gist trace lingers in memory longer resulting in FM due to...

The key message and implications of Thomas Friedman’s video presentation “The World is Flat” is that almost everyone on the planet now has access to the Internet and to distributed tools and applications with which they can innovate and compete. Friedman explains how the world became “flat.” He starts with recounting the three ages of globalization: 1.0 where countries were globalizing agents; 2.0 where companies became globalizing agents; and now 3.0 where individuals are globalizing agents. In the second chapter of his book he discusses the 10 days that flattened the world. He starts out with the fall of the Berlin wall and Windows 3.0 and ends with fast wireless Internet access and VOIP. The final coup de grace came with perfect political storm when the dot com bubble burst, 9/11 occurred, and the Enron scandal and follow on financial meltdown. The result was 3 billion more people...

...Fiona Sociological reasons for differences in gender choice There are a number of reasons for the difference in subject choices, for example stereotyping, labelling, peer pressure, gender domain, etc. Firstly a reason for early socialisation is gender difference in subject choices, this is because early socialisation shapes children's gender identity. Patricia Murphy and Jannette Elwood (1998) show how these lead to different subject choices. Boys read hobby books and information texts, while girls are more likely to read stories about people. This helps to explain why boys prefer science subjects and why girls prefer subjects such as English. Furthermore gender domain shapes the child as a young as due to there experience like Naima Browne and Carol Ross (1991) argues those children's beliefs about 'gender domains' shaped by their early experiences and the expectations of adults. By gender domains, they mean the tasks and activities that boys and girls see as male or female 'territory' and therefore as relevant to themselves as relevant to themselves. Children are more confident when engaging in tasks that they see as part of their own gender domain. Secondly the gendered subject images gear the different in subject choices this is as some subjects are seen as boys' or girls' subjects. For example Anne Colley (1998) notes that computer studies are seen as a masculine subject for two reasons: it involves working with machines - part of the male gender domain and the way...

...Rosemarie Stanislaus Term Paper August 1, 2014 The Quest for the Historical Jesus INTRODUCTION Over the centuries scholars from around the world have written a lot about religion, its meaning, relevance and contribution to humanity. There have been many speculations upon the nature and historical background of Jesus Christ. Many scholars have tried to dig into the few clues as to His identity and come up with a human side to which we can all relate. The study of Christianity and how it relates to Jesus Christ is very important to the whole world. Concerning the issue of Christianity, for example, the majority of people are taught in most schools and churches that Jesus Christ was an actual historical figure and that the only controversy regarding him is that some people accept him as the Son of God and the Messiah, while others do not. While the historicity of Jesus is the most debated subject in the field of religion today, the most enduring and profound controversy in this subject is whether or not Jesus Christ really existed. This paper will discuss who Jesus is, the controversy and biblical sources based on the views of scholars surrounding the historicity of Jesus. Finally, this paper will give Biblical evidence that Jesus existed. WHO IS JESUS? It is generally accepted that Jesus was truly a man who walked the earth 2000 years ago. Almost every religion teaches that Jesus was a prophet, excellent teacher or a Godly man. The...

...19.2.2013 г. The fundamentals ! STRATEGIC RETAIL MANAGEMENT TYPES OF ENVIRONMENT Retail institution types vary based on retail characteristics such as products, scale of operation, and mix of store attributes. The primary retail institution types are as follows: Department store, discount store, and specialty store. According to the U.S. Bureau of Census classifications of product developed in1924, product categories were named based on the retail institution type where they were displayed and sold (McNair & May, 1978). For example, products, which were sold in neighbourhood stores, such as grocery stores, drug stores, and hardware stores, have become convenience goods. Products, which were sold in large department stores, have been named as shopping goods. Specialty goods have become products sold in specialty stores, such as shoe stores, men’s clothing stores, and jewellery stores. THEORIES OF RETAIL CHANGE 1 19.2.2013 г. CYCLICAL THEORY Cyclical theory basically explains the different phases in a company. According to this theory, change follows a pattern and all phases have identifiable attributes associated with them. There are three primary components associated with the theory: wheel of retailing, retail life cycle and retail accordion. While wheel of retailing refers to a company entering the market with low prices and affordable service in order to challenge competitors, retail life cycle addresses the four stages that a company goes through when...

...In the history of our country, a little known or recognized Indian made great contributions to his tribe and our country. His name was Sequoyah and his contributions were not recognized till later in his life. His tribe members thought him to be a regular warrior or member of the tribe but as time passed and he got older he gained great wisdom. Who was Sequoyah? Sequoyah was an important Indian to the Cherokee tribe. His mother, Wu-teh, was a member of the Paint Club and his father, Nathanial Gist (Guess or Guest) was an English fur trader. Sequoyah was raised in the old ways of the Cherokee and became a trapper and fur trader. Sequoyah was an Indian of the Cherokee tribe. Many people thought he was full-blood Indian but actually he was half British from his father, and half Indian from his mother. His father left him to go back to England before Sequoyah was born. He was given the name George Gist by his father. As a result of an early hunting accident, he was given the name Sequoyah which means "pig's foot" in Cherokee. After being permanently crippled, he developed a talent for craftsmanship, making silver items and blacksmithing. His handicap became both a ridicule and a God-given blessing at the same time. He was also a very good painter. He drew for fun mainly. Sequoyah was born sometime between 1760 and 1776 near the Cherokee village of Taskigi, Tushkeegee on the Tennessee River near old Fort Loudoun in Tennessee. Sequoyah was only seven years old when he learned...

...Kristi Turley ESL 223N April 5, 2012 Stephanie Knight The English-Only Debate English as the national language has become one of the major issues facing citizens in the United States of America today. There have been many supporters in favor of English as the only recognized language spoken in America and there have also been many opponents. The debate has also driven many states to pass their own laws concerning the English language. There are many pros and cons to the debate, many states have passed their own laws regarding the education of English language learners, and I have my own views about the English-only debate. Supporters of the English-only movement feel very strongly about their views as English being the official language in America. While, opponents of the English-only movement feel just as strongly in their belief of America needing more than the English language. Supporters feel with English being the only language would unite us as a nation, clarifying that we are Americans. Supports also feel that making English the official language will give immigrants more opportunities to learn and speak the English language more fluently. Opponents of the debate feel that English-only would alienate immigrants that come to America by stifling communication within their daily life. Opponents also feel that school age children of immigrants will be at a disadvantage in school when learning academics if they cannot be taught in their native language....

...Prof. davis / BRIEF CHAPTER SUMMARY – chapter 7 Information-processing theorists view the mind as a complex, symbol-manipulating system through which information flows, often using the metaphor of a computer. One general model of information processing, the store model, assumes that information is stored in three parts of the mental system for processing: the sensory register; working, or short-term, memory; and long-term memory. The first two are limited in capacity, but long-term memory, our permanent knowledge base, is unlimited. In another approach, researchers have used computers to devise connectionist, or artificial neural network, models, which simulate the workings of neurons and their connections. Connectionists view the human cognitive system as a general processing device that gradually attains domain-specific competencies as relevant learning opportunities arise. Developmental models of information processing include Case’s neo-Piagetian perspective, which starts with Piaget’s stages but attributes change within and between stages to increases in the efficiency with which children use their limited working-memory capacity. It offers an integrated picture of how children’s processing efficiency, practice with strategies, and constructive efforts to reorganize their thinking interact to produce development. Siegler’s model of strategy choice, another developmental model, views children’s cognition from an evolutionary perspective, suggesting that children generate...

This dilemma basically answers a big question of how to produce an alternative energy without sacrificing the environment’s status qou. Last 2008, former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (Republic Act 9531) which seeks to promote the development of renewable energy resources and its commercialization. It aims to achieve this by providing incentives to institutions that invest in the sector. Sources of renewable energy include the sun, wind, bodies of water, organic matter and the earth’s heat. The campaign for this energy saving and energy producing with a minimal environmental effect has been a trend in today’s rampant consumption of energy generation. In relation to this, the challenge has been shared not only to those...

...Abstract Gleevec is heralded as a savior drug for cancer research. Created by the rational drug design model, Gleevec targets the tyrosine kinase enzyme in CML patients.[10] By targeting and binding to the active sites of the cancerous cells, Gleevec denaturizes them, preventing the spread of the disease.[10] Gleevec has been FDA approved to be administered to patients diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia and also patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors.[6] Although, this treatment has also been proved to aid in other fields of medicine, ranging from treating other types of cancers to delaying tumor growth to therapy for diabetes and even to cancer treatment in pets.[5,6,8,9] However, for Gleevec to have been made other cell targeted drugs had to be made before it. And just as those drugs paved the way for Gleevec, Gleevec is paving the way for even more cancer treatments to be made. Introduction and Background The official war on cancer began when President Richard Nixon declared that this was the next big thing in the history of the United States. He compared the battle and potential cure of cancer to the process of landing on the moon. However, the battle against cancer has proved to be much more difficult. But there is progress being made. In 2003, 556,902 people in the United States died from cancer.[11] However, in 2002, 557,271 people in the United States died from cancer.[11] Even though the difference of deaths was not that great, this was still...

...Sunada Takagi The author states that “the Buddha’s teaching on suffering does not say that we have to accept all of our unhappy circumstances. For those living the lay life, his advice was to look after ourselves and seek abundant happiness.” However the article embraces the basic teachings of Buddhism that I’ve read both from the text and the google doc created. An example was given which looks on more of a modern perspective of Buddhism as it regards to the decision that many face both men and women globally. That question is, what should you do if you’re caught in a job or a relationship that is dissatisfying? According to the first noble truth “to live is to suffer,” so does that mean one has to learn to accept it? Yes, that is the gist of the Buddha’s famous teaching on suffering in the Four Noble Truths. According to Buddha, it’s an inevitable part of human existence to encounter pain and disappointment, and we need to learn to accept that. The author challenges the teachings and ponders whether or not it applies in the situation of an unsatisfied job or relationship. According to the author “all too often people use this teaching to justify staying needlessly stuck in unhappiness”, and therefore miss reaching their true potential. To put in all in perspective, the article aids in understanding the basic teachings, specifically the noble four truths and how they can be perceived in modern...
