learning and memory 1

/in /by

Learning and memory are important in our daily lives, whether that is remembering how to make dinner or write a report for work. When you study for a course, prepare to make use of what you’ve learned, take a test or complete an assignment, what exactly is going on in your brain? Which parts of the brain are involved, and how do they interact with each other? As time goes by, the learning and memories that you have acquired change in how they are stored and retrieved. Most of the time, this is beneficial, as you can add to things you already know. However, this can also be problematic, as in the case of traumatic memories. Researchers are expanding our understanding of how memory works, how we might improve it, and how we might erase memory. As an example of how relevant these questions are, Eric Kandel was awarded the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work to understand the biological basis of memory.

Memory can be divided, roughly, into working memory, formerly known as short-term memory, and long-term memory. On the biological level, there is a model of how learning changes the synapses of individual neurons. In this Assignment, you will first describe that model, known as long-term potentiation (LTP). You will then identify a recent peer-reviewed article (published within the past 5 years) from the Walden library that extends this understanding of the cellular basis of memory. Areas to consider include revisions to the LTP model, the basis of long-term memory, ways to improve memory, or ways to erase memory.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the Learning Resources focusing on learning and memory paying special attention to how brain cells change when learning takes place.
  • Identify a recent peer-reviewed article from the Walden Library published within the past 5 years that addresses the cellular basis of memory.

The Assignment (2–4 pages):

  • First, consider the cellular basis of long-term potentiation (LTP). Where in the brain does this occur and what happens? In your answer, include details of the neurotransmitters and receptors involved as well as what happens at the level of the receptor to enable LTP. Also, describe the changes that occur in both the presynaptic and post-synaptic cells as a result of LTP.
  • Then, find and summarize a recent (published within the last 5 years) peer-reviewed article from the Walden Library about the cellular basis of memory. The article can be about either working memory or long-term memory, but should describe research that has been done to understand how memory works, how the memory processes might be improved, or how one might be able to erase memory. Summarize the article in enough detail that your reader will understand what was done in the study and what the results of the study were (similar to the articles you found in BioPsychology.com in the first week). Describe how the research article you described extends our understanding of these processes.
  • Evaluate how the findings might apply to a clinical setting, such as Alzheimer’s disease, anterograde or retrograde amnesia, or a condition such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You should include in-text citations in the body of your Assignment as well as complete references in APA format at the end of your Assignment.

Resources to be used:

    Context

    Assessing the effectiveness of an employee-centered environment is an important responsibility for HRM leaders. In today’s organization, HRM must demonstrate that evidence-based measurements are available and effective in measuring the links between employee engagement and organizational success. Many of the processes that are part of measurement are scientific in nature and as such are complex and require extensive knowledge and background. This knowledge is both professional and technical and there are many challenges that are present when measuring employee engagement. These areas are critical in establishing that HRM deliverables make a difference in organizational effectiveness. When leaders at all levels of the organization (executives, managers, and supervisors) are comprehensively aware of the leadership climate in the organization they are able to make better decisions. The effects of leadership on the attitudes and opinions of employees can be understood and serve to shape polices to enhance employee engagement.

    • (1) How did the Industrial Revolution transform people’s daily lives? Be sure to include sanitation and labor.
    • (2) How do Burke and Hare illustrate the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution?
    • (3) The following quote from Jaques Barzun’s From Dawn to Decadence addresses the railroad. Discuss the impact of the railroad on daily lives or on the Industrial Revolution. In what ways did locomotion create a technological transformation for humanity as a whole – at least in the areas where it existed?
      • “At first, machinery affected only those who organized its use and the men and women who worked in factories. But by 1830 a different type of machine came into being that changed the life and the minds of all peoples. The memory of it is nearly gone, but it was the completest change in human experience since the nomadic tribes became rooted in one spot to grow grain and raise cattle; it was in effect a reversal of that settling down. Locomotion by the force of steam, the railroad, uprooted mankind and made of it individual nomads again.” (Jacques Barzun, From Dawn to Decadence: 1500 to the Present: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life (New York: HarperCollins, 2000), 539)
    • Read “Dirt, Waste and Revulsion: How Cultures Cope with Leftovers and Mess” (experts discuss and contextualize Dirt: The Filthy Reality of Everyday Life).
    • Read “Lighting the Industrial Revolution” by Peter Lewis.
    • Read “History of Railways in Britain.”

    hard data and hardware destruction 2

    /in /by

    Balancing environmental, safety, efficiency, and data security considerations can be difficult.

    Review the following examples:

    • Allowing employees to take printer cover pages for their children’s art projects may seem benign. Consider, however, what if that printer header contained information that could be used to access the company’s network?
    • Donating outdated computers to community organizations is a common practice. However, what if data on hard drives is still present?
    • Having a central bin for materials to be shredded may be less expensive than having several smaller bins located around the office. However, what if employees are unable or unwilling to take the extra trip, where will hard copies end up?

    Identify five methods in which an organization’s data could be accessed via hard copy or hardware. Include at least one of each type. For each method, describe the following:

    • Policies and best work practices to ensure inadvertent and malicious access does not occur
    • How this method addresses employee and environmental safety concerns

    Present your findings and recommendations in one of the following ways:

    • A 2-page paper using Microsoft® Word
    • A 14- to 16-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes and appropriate animations
    • A Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet
