Mass-market relevance

Two young entrepreneurs launched Method" an environmentally friendly line of cleaning products that differentiates itself from other brands-green and non-green alike-by innovative, stylish packaging. For example, Method’s Le Scrub bathroom cleaner has a built-in sponge holder. The method is sold at specialty stores and mass-market retailers like Target, at about twice the price of traditional brands. The co-founders believe that style " create mass-market relevance for a green product" and that consumers discover Method because of its trendy designer look, find that they love the fragrance, and then " discover it’s good for you-it’s that third piece that drives loyalty."

The different types of memory and the steps in the memory process

In this module, we learned about the different types of memory and the steps in the memory process. Pick two different concepts from the list below and find an article online that reflects each concept.  You are looking for articles that show real-world examples of the concepts, (types of memory) not scholarly articles about the concepts.  You should not be discussing psychology studies or using psychology sites such as psychology today. Examples of articles to look for

  • Impact of cell phones on memory–articles not studies
  • Why do we get memory wrong?
  • How can lifestyles affect memory?
  • How does social media impact memory
  • Find articles that would be an example of procedural memory without googling procedural memory
  • Research some events that would be considered a flashbulb memory without googling flashbulb memory

Pick 2 concepts from this list:  flashbulb memory, episodic memory, retrieval, recognition, long term memory, semantic memory, implicit/procedural memory

*For example, if you decide to pick flashbulb memory and semantic memory then you would need to find an article that reflects the use of flashbulb memory and an article that reflects the use of semantic memory.  Two concepts & two articles.

After reading through each of the articles address the following for each:

  1. Provide a summary of the article. Be sure your summary has enough detail to ensure full credit.
  2. Identify the type of memory that the article reflects
  3. Explain why the article reflects that type of memory.  Make sure to highlight specifics from the article that support your analysis. Make sure to accurately incorporate and underline at least 4 different terms for each article (this does not include the memory you are discussing)
  4. Pick one of the other concepts listed above and explain how that concept is different from the one that your article reflects.
  5. Accurately cite your article sources. Use a citation generator for help with citation using APA  format.  NO Citation means no credit

Functional neuroimaging of the brain during sleep

You’re participating in an experiment involving functional neuroimaging of the brain during sleep. when neural activity in your parahippocampal place area increases the experimenter awakens you and you tell her 9you were dreaming about a nice little house in the woods. when neural activity in our fusiform face increases, the experimenter again awakens you and tell her you were dreaming about the face of a childhood friend.  discussing the question of whether these types of neural activity are candidates for neural correlates of consciousness

Global Financial crisis

During the 2008- ‘09 Global Financial crisis (GFC) and the European Sovereign crisis (ESC) banks interrupted lines of credit to non-financial corporations. Discuss how the shortage of credit supply in the above-mentioned periods affected corporate failures and firms’ investment decisions.

Explain how forbearance lending contributes to the low output growth experienced after the GFC and ESC by economies/firms.

Piaget’s theory

In Piaget’s theory, children construct their own cognitive worlds, building mental structures to adapt to their world.  Explain each term:

Schemes, Assimilation, Accommodation, Organization, and Equilibration.  Choose one term and explain it in further detail and include a clear example.

Look over the videos in the McGraw-hill library about Piaget and Sensorimotor Stages for more information as well as the videos posted on the modules.

Include a minimum of two in-text citations in your entire post from the textbook or from a journal article (no website citations).  Post the References (titled) at the bottom of the POST.

The POST (15 points) must be submitted first then the REPLY (5 points) second to a peer. Respond to at least one other peer’s posting (more is great!).

The REPLY must be based on your peer’s POST and must be substantive and more than a compliment but rather take a position, ask questions, discuss what the peer explained in their POST.

POST (15 points) and REPLY (5 points) to a minimum of one peer.

Physical Development in Infancy and Toddlerhood

Paragraph on Physical Development in Infancy and Toddlerhood and Cognitive Development in Infancy and Toddlerhood What’s the similarities between these two, what you understand?

Physical development involves growth and changes in the body and brain, the senses, motor skills, and health and wellness. Cognitive development involves learning, attention, memory, language, thinking, reasoning, and creativity. Psychosocial development involves emotions, personality, and social relationships.
As infants and toddlers grow, their determination to master movement, balance, and fine- and gross-motor skills remains strong. Rolling and crawling occur as infants develop skill in using their large-muscle groups. Grasping and picking up objects with fingers are part of small-muscle growth.

Describe two genetic aspects

Describe two genetic aspects and two cultural aspects of gender identity development and how they influence gender development

Culture shapes the prevailing gender-related stereotypes, attitudes, and beliefs to which children are exposed and internalize (Bigler & Liben, 2007; Wong & VanderLaan, 2020), and consequently influences children’s social exclusion behavior (Park et al., 2003).

Factors that Influence Gender Identity

Biological factors that may influence gender identity include pre- and post-natal hormone levels and genetic makeup. Social factors include ideas regarding gender roles conveyed by family, authority figures, mass media, and other influential people in a child’s life
