Introduction

The struggle to commit information to memory and be able to retrieve it when needed is one of the most fascinating aspects of the human brain. Memory serves as a record of information such as events, ideas, acquaintances, directions, places, etc. Forgetfulness is the process through which stored information is lost or disarranged in a manner that it becomes difficult to retrieve from memory. There are several principles, emergent from research, used to improve memory. These include processing material actively; learning how to retrieve; using distributed practice and using metamemory. This paper explores three memory concepts: depth of processing; Continue reading...

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories 1989 to Present

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories 1989 to Present

Although there are several different views about cognitive psychology, a few general principles exist that most of the cognitive theorists could agree with. First is the principle derived from the assumption of a limited capacity of our mental system, which means that the amount of information that the mental system can process is constrained in myriad ways. At a very specific point of the mental process, the flow of information is restricted in a bottleneck manner. The second principle involves a requirement of control mechanism to accommodate storage, processing, transformation, encoding, Continue reading...

Abstract

The Stroop effect involves demonstrating a longer reaction time inherent in performing a more complicated task. The effects of conflict processing on reaction time is thought to be significant; the higher the level of conflict processing, the longer it takes for someone to react to that conflict. The current study measures response times based on four different exercises involving the reading of numbers and row length. The third exercise includes two levels of complexity (counting and number identification), as opposed to a single level of complexity with the remaining exercises. Eight pairs of subjects are tested for reaction time Continue reading...

At the same time, Blackwell’s own purchase personnel wants Continue reading...

In TESOL class, I have learned that listening is a very important aspect of study of any language.  One way through which a second language learner learns a new language is by listening.  When they listen to the language above they use their “present linguistic competence”, to figure out the meaning of what they hear real time (Nunan 26).  Immediately, they connect the input information to their experience or something that they already know.  Using the cues in the situation, they then process the information to create “the meaning behind the words” (Nunan 24).  From this process, the language learners acquire language beyond their current level. Continue reading...

Introduction

Australia’s economically developed status attracts tens of thousands of refugees to the country each year, and this trend poses a range of socio-economic threats to nation. In response to this social problem, the Australian governments under Labor and Liberal parties have been adopting a tough stance towards the refugee arrivals at Australian coasts by boats. Since the increasing number asylum seeking claims has been a sensitive issue in the Australian politics, the political parties always tend to meet the interests of Australian citizens in this regard. This paper will critically evaluate the Australia’s asylum seeker policy, government Continue reading...

Abstract

The essay discusses short-term memory (STM) and other aspects that are related to it. There has been considerable research done on STM, however, a lot more needs to be done in certain areas. The short-term memories carry a different process related to long-term memories. Short-term memory is often used in place of working memory, but the two are different. Short-term memory refers to only the temporary loading of information while working memory refers to not only temporary storage, but also manipulating information. The paper looks at different experiments related to STM, the impact of word-length effect and the distinctions Continue reading...

Abstract

This article offers an insight into the study of neurolinguistics as a subject of neurology. It also offers a theory of language that is developmental in nature and an insight into the neural systems that lead to linguistic capabilities. Language develops in four stages, as suggested by early perceptual experience. These four phases take place in an independent and fixed sequence. A different ontogenetic function is arrived at in every phase of language. The functions in question have neural systems, proprietary in kind, that differs in their respective degree of specialization.
Under evaluation is an analytical mechanism largely responsible Continue reading...
