The affect of sleep on memory consolidation

The first article I will discuss is by Ashton and colleagues (2019) they recently studied the relationship between forgetting and prolonged loss of sleep by using two different experiments(Ashton, Harrington, Langthorne, & Cairney, 2019). The first experiment consisted of a sample of 27 healthy adults entering a repeated-measure study with the conditions being either ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’. In the sleep condition, memory assessment for adjective-image pairs and learning took place before a night of sleep. The following morning, the participants were tested for item memory and associative memory....

Quantitatively exploring the influence of age on short-term memory

There is a large amount of literature available with regard to memory and aging (Rosen et al., 2002; Wingfield et al., 1988). There are also many conclusions drawn and statements made based on previous research. One such statement is that there are declines with age in aspects of the brain such as the speed of processing, long-term memory, and working memory as well as a decrease in brain size (Park & Reuter-Lorenz, 2009). However, the effects of age on short-term memory have not been widely tested or documented. Therefore, it is the purpose of the current research study to further investig...

Borderline Personality disorder

After we looked at the DSM diagnostic criteria for general personality disorder, as well as a borderline personality disorder, many problem areas were identified. These areas cause confusion due to the overlap of symptoms within the different disorders. Through the discussion of these areas in this assignment, it is clear that there are many difficulties when it comes to diagnosing individuals with personality disorders. However, a borderline personality disorder is proven to be one of the most difficult disorders to diagnose. The most common reason for the difficulties that accompany the d...

Snow Falls, Love Blooms

Walter is already sitting inside the restaurant at a cozy table that has been set for two with a beautiful view of the city. He is busy on his phone, responding to an email when she walks in. She studies him briefly before he notices her and she is reminded that he is a handsome and well-put-together man when she looks at his attire. He is wearing tight-fitting black jeans with a light gray pullover. She can see that he is also wearing black leather boots and there is a leather jacket draped over the back of his chair. He has his sleeves rolled up a few inches and she can’t help but notice ...

The first time.

All of the blood that once coursed through my entire body has now come to settle in my cheeks. I can feel myself blushing. This happened last time too. The last time he complimented my skills I almost melted. Feeling so seen and so understood. Not feeling like I have to prove my skill every chance I get. This is clearly the way to my heart. His hand is still resting on my knee and our eyes are locked on each other. He seems shocked by my flushed cheeks and smirks at me. As if he knows exactly what he is doing to me. My attention is drawn to the rain that is falling around us. I didn’t notic...

Love is art

Virginie takes a seat and nervously bites her fingernails while she waits. Then she hears a ding from the elevator. Looking over at the opening doors her heart jumps. It’s Mark. She recognizes him from all of the photos that he sent her over the last few months. His dark almost black hair is combed back neatly and lays softly on his head. He still has a dark stubble beard framing his jaw and the butterflies in her stomach are driven mad when he looks up at her with his electric blue eyes. He walks confidently toward her and she jumps up from the chair and rushes toward him leaving her bag b...

"We shouldn't do this"

I can promise you that a dream is nothing compared to what I want to do to you in real life.” My voice is low and rough. I barely recognize myself. She inhales sharply before standing abruptly. She clearly still possesses the self-control that I’ve lost along the way. Before I can stop myself, I’m standing too. I put my arms on either side of her as she stands up against my desk. “Hugo,” she breathes into my ear, putting her arms around my neck. “We shouldn’t do this.” I pull back from where I had my mouth less than an inch from her neck. I look deep into her eyes. “Then tell me to sto...
