the effect of music and age on STM (WM). The results of the experiment were confirming the hypothesis to some extent. The hypothesis was that the older the subject conducting the experiment is‚ the higher the cognitive performance‚ which will result in a higher level in completing the task. Also the subjects will be distracted when the music is played. However‚ some of the results did not match the hypothesis; such as Group2 (Year 9 Newman) that completed the task and reached a higher level with the

First Year Seminar Psychology 190-01 In Jonathan Haidt’s book‚ The Happiness Hypothesis‚ Haidt explains genuine examples to get many familiar points across to the audience without us people knowing what he is trying to do. All we are doing is reading the book trying to understand what Haidt is trying to tell us through his style and tone of each different chapter. To begin‚ chapter four of The Happiness Hypothesis‚ in my opinion was very interesting. This chapter is the chapter that has kept

1.) Were the North American megafauna wiped out by early human colonizers? The Overkill hypothesis is of the Clovis crossing into a “virgin continent” (The America’s) and wiped out the megafauna due to overhunting. First developed by Paul Martin in the 1960’s‚ Clovis started to occupy North and South America 13‚500-12‚500 years ago; soon after early sites were established 17 genera of North and South American megafauna went extinct between 13‚250-12‚900 (other species such as ground sloths become

Viruses can infect all types of cells including plant‚ animal‚ protozoa‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. Virus composition is unique and does not resemble a living cell because they only contain the necessary parts to enter and leave an infected cell. A virus is a minute parasite (10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria) that is unable to reproduce by itself; however‚ once it infects a vulnerable cell a virus can make the cell’s inner workings produce viruses on its behalf. Viruses typically have either RNA

Bacteria and Fungi are both very diverse groups of organisms and have numerous characteristics which set them apart from other living creatures. The domain bacteria possess traits which differentiate themselves from other organisms for example bacteria have prokaryotic cells‚ which means that their cells lack a nucleus‚ instead‚ they contain a nucleoid which contains a single circular chromosome. Additionally‚ bacteria do not have membrane-bound organelles‚ but most do have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan

Identification of A Mixed Culture Unknown An experiment such as this one serves the purpose of allowing us‚ the students‚ to apply what we already know about any organism and any laboratory procedure to the difficult task at hand. It is possible to identify a mixed culture by running familiar experiments on the unknown bacteria and taking information already known about specific bacteria and applying it to the results. This helps to slowly eliminate any bacteria that do not correspond with the
