Out if the Dust by Karen Hesse is about a small town girl named Billie Joe, evolving throughout many hardship that take place in this book. This debate is whether or not Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse should or should not remain in the eighth grade curriculum. Out of the Dust should be part of our eighth grade curriculum because it introduces to students a more advance and emotional form of poetry. One reason for it should stay is the use of free verse poems gives the reader more detail than an rhyming poem or even a basic novel would give

The Mindfulness Enhances Episodic Memory Performance article talks about the effects of mindfulness on attention and working memory. The article talks about the three studies which used different methods to examine whether mindfulness would enhance episodic memory. The first study is correlational study, check the benefit and characteristics of mindfulness in episodic memory performance in the Remember- Know (R-K) paradigm. The second study evaluates the usefulness of trait and state mindfulness on episodic memory experimentally. The third study check s whether brief training in focused attention (FA) mindfulness training, relative to both normative and distracted states of mind.

In a well-known series of studies, a social psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1974 recruited men through local newspapers to participate in what was called a “memory experiment” at Yale University. The participants were told to only arrive at the lab to get the payment, once they were there the money was their’ s to keep. Once the participants were at the lab they were received by a man in a lab coat “the experimenter” who briefed them on the experiment. He informed them that the experiment was to observe the effects of punishment on memory. Participants were then assigned their roles at random by drawing slips of paper from a hat.
Long-term memory is a system of memory into which information is placed to be kept more/less permanently. Elaborative Rehearsal is a method of transferring information from the short-term memory into long-term memory by making the information meaningful. One way a person can do this is my practicing the notes of a song over and over again until they can play the song without the sheet music. Nondeclarative memory is a type of long-term memory including memory for skills, procedures, habits and conditioned responses. For example, repetition for tying shoes or signing my name is a nondeclarative memory.
Brain Extreme E is the extreme female brain, extra high empathy skills and low systemizing skills, and Brain Extreme S is the extreme male brain, extra high systemizing skills and low empathy skills (Baron-Cohen, 1999). According to the EMB theory, people with ASD often have an extremem male brain, Extreme S, more often than not (Baron-Cohen, 1999). Most often men and women have the same respective brain type, but it is not uncommon for each gender to have the opposite sex brain type (Baron-Cohen, 1999). With this being said, it may not truly be accurate to label brains “male” and “female,” but for all intents and purposes it makes sense in general (Krahn & Fenton, 2012). Women and girls tend to be more emotional, nurturing, talkative, and compassionate, which explains why females engage in conversational turn taking and have more empathetic responses to the stress of others (Krahn & Fenton, 2012).
Women are better in personal relationship and have the ability to describe situations as
Aim: To investigate the effect of the stress hormone cortisol on verbal declarative memory. Procedure: There were three different groups. Group 1 had tablets containing a high dose of cortisol, group 2 had tablets with a low dose of cortisol, and group 3 had placebo tablets. Then all the participants in the three groups had to listen to a prose paragraph and had to recall it.
Their theories were heavily influenced by previous research and gave primary importance to the notion that knowledge can be learnt through experience (Moore, 2008, p. 48&49). Feminist empiricism was explored through scientific investigation as their philosophies support the positivist concept that all theories can be objectively proven with evidence (Flavin, 2001). The methodology employed emphasized the role of sensory experience in knowledge through evidence, data, and facts; their approach discounts innate ideas and inborn mental capacities due to the lack of physical proof. Prior to the introduction of feminist empiricism any research carried out was androcentric, therefore the presence of women within this type of research was revolutionary for its time (Hundleby, 2012, p. 38). Despite this, the lack of female representation caused empiricist feminists to simply view females as the absent subjects so their work aimed to insert women into the current practice to create comparable research (Hundleby, 2012, p. 28).
The biological approach to the basis of memory is explained in terms of underlying biological factors such as the activity of the nervous system, genetic factors, biochemical and neurochemicals. In general terms memory is our ability to encode, store, retain and recall information and past experiences afterwards in the human brain. In biological terms, memory is the recreation of past experiences by simultaneous activation or firing of neurons. Some of the major biopsychological research questions on memory are what are the biological substrates of memory, where are memories stored in the brain, how are memories assessed during recall and what is the mechanism of forgetting. The two main reasons that gave rise to the interest in biological basis of memory are that researchers became aware of the fact that many memory deficits arise from injuries to the brain.
Recalling an Experience Thinking my eyes had literally deceived me, I contemplated what would occur next. Trembling with fear, my only recollection was the period of time before getting on the chair lift. When I was eight years old our family took our annual winter vacation to Lake Tahoe, California.
Other than physical characteristics, there are many factors that play into the differences between the male and female genders. Women in history and today’s modern world have shown that they tend to acknowledge their wrongdoings and take responsibility for their actions. Women tend to own up to their mistakes and build from them rather than change the topic and move along. Women are more willing to take the blame for the situation and negotiate the problem, according to the article “I’m Sorry, I Won’t Apologize”. Former United States Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is a prime example of this.
Memory, or more appropriately, acts of memory, are no longer restricted to signify a matter of cognitive process. The onus lies on the anthropological approaches and studies to investigate the study of memory as a social action which, by and large, includes the discursive means people use to actively and effectively represent and remember the past. Memory, a part of the collective domain, has often been deployed as a social and cultural framework within which attention can be focused upon the buried, erased and occluded aspects of the past. However, memory as a cultural tool is most poignant and effective when personalized in the stories of individual experience. Memory, the capacity to remember, recreate, and frequently, reconstruct one’s
