Essays on Digit

Benford's law also known as the first-digit law deals with the distribution of natural numbers in which it tends to major into their importance regarding significance. The law states that given any arrangement of natural numbers, the smallest number always seems to be the most significant while the largest number in the collection is always the least significant. Therefore, number 1 appears to be the most significant in any given combination of natural numbers 30% of the times. While on the other hand, number 9 appears only 5% of the times as the most significant number. The law states ...

Abstract

The question of memory has been an interesting one in psychology for some time. Brown-Peterson hypothesized that distraction tasks have a role to play in how well our memory works, and that this can be measured by a simple task. This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

Memory is a fascinating aspect of psychology that has attracted the interest of scientists for several decades. One of the most-studied aspect of memory is short-term recall. For example, short-term recall could involve a sequence of digits, letters, or words that require a listener to both memorize for a short period of time. Two well-studied aspects of short-term memory recall are digit span and chunking. Defined simply, digit span is the number of digits in a sequence of numbers or letters that a listener can immediately recall in the correct sequence, or order, without making a mistake.

This activity will explore the concept of intelligence and some of the methods of measuring intelligence.

Intelligence and Adaptability • What does it mean to say that intelligence is a social construct? Intelligence is a social construct because it was created by Western civilization as a means to measure how smart an individual is. It has been deemed a racist measurement tool for the way it has been used throughout history to report that Caucasians have a higher intelligence than other races. Basically the idea of intelligence is man-made, therefore a social construct. • What do two children from dramatically different cultures (a boy working on an arrow and a girl working on a computer) have in ...

Abstract

Vigilance decrement is one area that psychologists have always worked hard on in order to provide the best methods to top it. In essence, there are several negative effects of vigilance decrement. The loss of concentration when doing something over a long period of time hinders the effective performance of a given task. As such, these problems may seem to be negligible, but in the real situation they have many adverse effects. Completely stopping vigilance decrement is to some extent impossible. This is because of the human nature to lose concentration when exposed to the same task for a long time. What ...

There are many error detection and correction codes that are in use today. The most common ones are parity checks, cyclic redundancy checks and arithmetic checksum. There are additional codes that are used for correcting errors. One of these is two dimensional parity checks. With this error correcting code, a block of data is arranged in a table. The procedure is to start by correcting the errors starting with blocks of data. With this error correcting code, there are higher chances of detecting busty errors when compared to the other error correcting codes (McNamara, 1982). Another error detecting code is ...
