How to Study More Effectively: Putting Knowledge of Memory Functioning to Work
In this discussion forum, you will explore the imperfect content of our memories of experiences. For your initial post, complete the following steps:
Watch the following videos:
False Memories
Loftus Speaks: The Malleability of Memory
In the videos, Loftus describes the ease with which false memories can be created or altered. Yet people like Paul Shanely are incarcerated, convicted of heinous crimes based on the testimony of men who have claimed to have repressed memories of years of childhood sexual abuse until adulthood. The two sides of the argument are referred to as “The Memory Wars.” For this discussion, choose one of the following prompts:
Analyze both sides of the Shanely case. Which side is best supported by the scientific evidence? Which one do you support and why?
Analyze the case of the Ramona family. How could the daughter repress such memories for so long? Does the fact that her father successfully sued the therapist prove that the memories are false?
Analyze the case of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton. How is it possible to be so sure that you recognize a face when it is not the right person?
Provide an overview of Loftus’ research. How does that prove (or not) that memories can be created or altered?
Use your critical thinking skills and present a cogent analysis and argument for the position you choose to defend. Support your points with evidence from at least one peer-reviewed research article. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words.
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates. Choose posts that address a different prompt than you chose. In your answers, discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the content of each post. A minimum of 200 words should be used for each response to other posts. Be certain to continue monitoring the discussion board until 5 p.m. (Pacific Time) on Day 7 of the week.

Self- Observation: Identifying Your Values
PART 1 – Make a table like the following:
Enter a list of 7 to 10 things that you love to do. After the name of each activity, write the date you last experienced it. Place a dollar sign after each activity that costs more than $10. Now go through the list again, and place a P after those activities that usually require considerable planning. Review your list, and place an S after activities that you share with others. Finally, place an A after those activities that you do alone. Part 2 – This assignment is based on Exercise 4.1 Self- Observation: Identifying Your Values (see p.107). The purpose is to help identify the activities you enjoy and determine whether you are finding time to participate in them (what do you value…approach or avoid?). One premise of the exercise is that many people do not know clearly what their values are. Ideally reflect on the alignment or lack of alignment among what you do, what you value and how your goals align (or do not align). What does this exercise tell you about yourself? Why is it that some people find time to do the things they enjoy, whereas others do not? How do values influence goals? Use ideas and thoughts

from the readings and lessons to help. Most submissions range between 350 to 550 quality words. Remember: Unlike the discussion board, your responses to this assignment are private. Only you and I have access to your journal. Also the journal entries are worth twice as many points (20) as a discussion post (10). Your ‘product’ needs to reflect that difference!

Applying developmental theories to infant and toddler development-explain the theory and how it relates to infant and toddler development, and write a short scenario that exemplifies the theory
In this Discussion, you will apply developmental theories to infant and toddler development.
Select one of the following theories from your Reading, explain the theory and how it relates to infant and toddler development, and write a short scenario that exemplifies the theory. Practice using your understanding of infant/toddler developmental theories in your responses to your classmates and pretend that you are a therapist assigned to work with the client in each scenario.
Theories used in the sample: non organic failure to thrive, separation anxiety, language development issues
Sample scenario: Tom
Tom is a 2-year-old male whose parents work many hours during the week. While his parents work during the week, he stays with his grandmother, who has difficulty keeping up with him throughout the day. She spends much of her time ignoring him by watching television instead of playing with him. When Tom’s parents brought him to you, he seemed to be very small for a child his age and showed some severe developmental delays. He did not speak many words and did not seem to be putting together sentences yet. His parents brought him to you because he screams and yells every morning when his mother leaves him at his grandmother’s house.
Self-Management-When individuals start experiencing a "crisis of meaning" at work, how does this impact their productivity as well as the overall company? When workers have a shared sense of passion, how does this impact the work environment?
Complete with a minimum of 300 words, including at least one reference from: Thomas, K. (2009). Intrinsic Motivation at Work: What Really Drives Employee Engagement Edition. 2nd
Self-Management
When individuals start experiencing a “crisis of meaning” at work, how does this impact their productivity as well as the overall company? When workers have a shared sense of passion, how does this impact the work environment?
When managers allow employees to self-manage, what are at least three positive effects of intrinsic rewards? How have you witnessed one of these within your organization?
Briefly explain the two steps involved in the diagnostic framework. How do you see this framework being effective in your place of work?
Visual Searches-explore how people engage in visual searches and what features of a stimulus make a search easier
Need this within 3 hours
Assignment 1: Discussion—Visual Searches
In this assignment, you will further explore how people engage in visual searches and what features of a stimulus make a search easier.
Think of a time when you had to locate someone in a crowd, such as a participant in a parade, a friend in a packed theater, or a runner in a marathon. Based on your experience, respond to the following:
- Were you successful in locating the person? What strategy did you use?
- Did your search make use of the pop-out effect? How? If not, how might using the pop-out effect have resulted in a successful or quick search?
- Did you conduct a conjunctive search? If yes, how did the number of distracters and features affect your search?
- Using the principles you have read about in this module, how would you make the material in a long e-mail stand out in order to ensure that the reader notices it?
Visual searches are also very important in warnings. Warnings need to stand out from their background. The warning must first be noticed, then read and understood. For example, a stick figure could be performing an ambiguous action and have an “X” through it. You, therefore, understand that while you are not supposed to perform some action, you do not understand what that action actually is.
Give two examples of a poor warning. Did you understand them? Why did you have difficulties with them? What features could be modified to make the warnings more effective?
