Read the Heinz dilemma (http://www.simplypsychology.org/kohlberg.html), and consider what you would do if you were in his place. Write down your answer and the reasons behind it. How would your answer fit in Kohlberg’s stages? Are there other responses that Kohlberg would consider “more moral”? If so, how do you feel about this? Do you think Kohlberg’s “Heinz dilemma” is a good measure of one’s morality? Explain.

In the 1950s, Henry Molaison (known as H.M.) underwent surgery to treat epilepsy. This resulted in a cure for his epilepsy but at the cost of his ability to make new explicit memories (anterograde amnesia). Prior to this time, psychologists thought that memory was one system, but H.M.’s deficits demonstrated that memory is comprised of several distinct systems, including long-term and working memory. How do the various types of memory support your daily life? How would deficits in the functionality of any of the types memory impact your life? What type of deficit do you think would be most profound? To prepare: Consider each of the different types of memory and how they support your daily life. Consider how impairments to memory would affect your daily life. Write a 4 page APA-style paper that addresses the following: Describe and explain the different types of memory. Include the differences between long-term and working memory and the differences between the various types of long-term memory, including explicit and implicit memory. As part of your answer, define and explain anterograde and retrograde amnesia. Finally, provide an example of explicit memory and implicit memory in daily life and how your life would be impacted by anterograde amnesia in either long-term memory subsystem.

Adolescence 11-12: As we transition from childhood into adolescence I found this really interesting TED Talk on parenting. While it can apply to any age group, I thought it would work well here because this is the time when adolescents are trying to discover who they are. They are trying to find “happiness” and that is the key message of the TED Talk and the underlying issue the speaker is trying to resolve in people of all ages. What is it that makes adolescence so difficult? Is it the hormones? Is it the peer pressure? Is it society? The impending demands of being an adult? What do adolescents need in regard to parenting? Strict rules? Freedom to make mistakes? Unconditional love? There are so many opinions on so many of these issues, but what is the right answer? Is there a right answer? Does it depend on the child? Does it depend on the parent? Does it depend on the situation? With so many questions, how can we possibly know the answers? Watch this TED talk, and let me know what you think. Your preconceived ideas will direct the “research” part of your answer, but the message is applicable to all ages across all cultures, and most circumstances. I hope it brings you the answers you need. https://youtu.be/DOgsYATbV-s the reference must come from a valid, scholarly source and be in APA format Initial post 400 words with one reference

For this discussion, you will selecttwo (2)of the parenting scenarios presented below. In your initial discussion, you will describe how to correct the inappropriate/negative behavior using research and references from what you have learned in class. You’ll need to keep a few additional things in mind:child’s developmental stage (can they be reasoned with?)application of operant conditioning (reinforcement and punishment)is the punishment logical and can you as the parent follow through?Be sure to locate peer-reviewed references (textbook is okay) to validate and support your ideas. When coming up with methods to help curb the negative behaviors, the only thing you are not allowed to use is physical discipline.While many of you may argue that you were raised with the belt and turned out fine, the purpose of this activity is to demonstrate that shaping behaviors does not require violence and can be done when approached from a developmental and creative standpoint.Parenting ScenariosOne time, while grocery shopping, you were exhausted and gave into your 4 year old’s whining about getting a new Hot Wheel.
