    Term limits from the smallest level all the way to the Oval office have been in effect since this country was started.

House of Representative members are able to serve an infinite number of two-year terms (Boundless). Reformers in the 90’s put the congressional

    When Jonides and colleagues at the University of Michigan set out to examine “The Mind and Brain of Short-Term Memory” (2007)‚ they had their work cut out for them—even considering the nearly 40 pages they had to use. Given this ambitious goal‚ their review is necessarily somewhat cursory‚ but they clearly strived to provide multiple angles to different facets of short-term memory. Still‚ by focusing almost entirely on the mind and brain of humans‚ the authors have left out angles perhaps very critical

The current study shows that short-term memory can be affected by less grammatical incongruence which may demonstrate the sensitivity of the language-learning ability in infants. From the article that I found‚ the researchers’ findings complement other
