There is a relationship between task performance and arousal; it is called Yerkes-Dodson Law (teigen, 1994; Yerkes& Dodson, 1908). It prefers to the difficulty level of the task, easy task demand a high- moderate of arousal and a difficult task demand low level of arousal. To maintain these level of arousal, the person will need to find ways in reducing tension or creating away to make tension, for example a test takers anxiety was high before taking a test the next day in class, could study with a student who has score in that class, to maybe show them an easier way to understand the material.…
The “Gettysburg Address” was presented by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War in 1863. The “I Have a Dream” speech was presented during the March on Washington during the Civil Rights Movement in 1963. These speeches, even one-hundred years difference in time when given, they both address a common theme for freedom and equality. The “Gettysburg Address” purpose was to urge and give hope to his audience to continue to fight for the Union so America would not perish and the “I Have a Dream” purpose of demanding an urgent change for equality for all. This paper will examine how each speaker uses rhetorical devices to attain their purposes.…
Dreaming can be fun or scary for some people, but it can also reveal interesting underlying internal issues that people would otherwise be unaware of. The tricky part about dreams though, is that it can be difficult to remember them. I for example rarely do, and when I do, I remember them as if they were a slideshow. However, there is one dream that stands out to me because it has been a reoccurring one since childhood. In this dream, I am working in a factory organizing boxes that are on a conveyer belt. At first it is easy but when the pace picks up, I struggle to keep up with the boxes. The chaos leads me to feel overwhelmed and wake up in a moment of panic, with symptoms of a panic attack. This dream has occurred numerous times, but sometimes there are slight changes, as if it is adapting to what is going on in my life at the moment. While this has always been a bizarre nightmare to me, through the use of Sigmund Freud's Wish Fulfillment Theory and the information processing theory, I have been able to gain a deeper understanding of it.…
The most important message of A New Kind of Dreaming is that everyone needs someone to relate to. Do you agree?…
This essay will pose the question “is there is there a link between dreaming and the processes of memory consolidation?” A review of research and literature in this area was undertaken, focussing on the biological and behavioural studies of the effects of sleep on memory consolidation; the neural structures in which memory processes are stored; the link between sleep stages and the consolidation of different forms of memory, and how the content of dreams reflect this. The responses from the scientific and psychological communities to these studies were also examined, in particular the criticisms towards the methodological aspects of some of the studies, the inconclusive results from certain sleep deprivation studies, and the presentation of alternative hypotheses were explained. This wide review of literature on the debate from the last three decades ultimately leads to the conclusion that there is definitely a clear link between the processes of memory consolidation and dreaming, namely that dreaming is a by-product of different types of memory consolidation processes in different stages of sleep, but the exact mechanisms by which this occurs needs more research to be fully understood.…
Performance anxiety is a difficult thing to handle for many pupils and an important discussion that educators often deliver. The article determines a model of music performance anxiety (MPA) based on working memory and attentional processes. This model is an easy-to-understand (and easy-to-communicate) for students of all ages. It is then used to arrange methods for performance anxiety to lessen, describing how each method work. This article also provides practical exercises to help students understand and manage performance anxiety.…

The whole world sometimes asksitself, “what am I living for” or “what is my purpose.” There is more to that answer than to just reproduce the human population. Everyone has and should find their passions in life. Their passions should be there dreams. Discovering dreams can be a tough objective in society. People must figure out what they enjoy and what they are good at, or else their life’s journey can be a long ride. Dreams are also what people have a passion for, and will take on anything to achieve them.…

For seventeen years that I lived in this world, only few dreams were recollected by my brain. I could not recall having a dream every single night. When I was young I used to think that most of the time I was not having any dream at all. It was so sad to think that the dream fairy did not want to visit me when I was asleep. Until I learned in my Psychology1 subject that remembering a dream depends on waking up in the middle of that dream. I could consider myself having a very bad timing in getting up. In contrast with that, some of my nights were filled with multiple dreams. Those times were when I woke up very confused because of the odd transition in my dreams. I used to think that the dream fairy wanted to pay back for the nights that she missed. According to psychology our nights can really have several dreams. How I wish that there is a device that could record all those crazy musings! Haha. I would love to watch those delusions that my mind created while I was taking rest.…
