Location and Orientation of the Heart01:13

Location and Orientation of the Heart

10.9K
The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

1.7K
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

195
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Feedback Inhibition00:46

Feedback Inhibition

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Effects of feedback01:24

Effects of feedback

1.1K
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Evaluative feedback, which focuses on past performance, is remembered better than directive feedback, which focuses on future improvement. Adults even misremember directive feedback in an evaluative style, challenging learning theories.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Learning Sciences

Background:

  • Performance feedback is common in education, with future-oriented (directive) feedback often considered more beneficial than past-oriented (evaluative) feedback.
  • Prior research suggested directive feedback should be better remembered due to its future orientation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically test the prediction that directive feedback is better remembered than evaluative feedback.
  • To investigate memory recall differences between evaluative and directive feedback types.

Main Methods:

  • Six experiments were conducted where participants read written feedback (evaluative and directive) on essays.
  • Participants attempted to recall the feedback from memory after a short delay.
  • Feedback was presented as relating to their own essays or another person's essays.

Main Results:

  • Across all six experiments, evaluative feedback was consistently recalled better than directive feedback.
  • Participants frequently misremembered directive feedback in an evaluative style, even when they recalled it.
  • Small wording differences did not account for the recall discrepancies.

Conclusions:

  • The findings contradict the hypothesis that future-oriented (directive) feedback is advantageous for memory.
  • Results suggest a bias in feedback recall, with evaluative feedback being more memorable.
  • The study raises questions about the behavioral impact and generalizability of these memory biases in academic settings.
