Gene Conversion02:08

Gene Conversion

10.6K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Conversion of Units01:36

Conversion of Units

34.6K
Sometimes, there is a need to convert from one unit to another one. For instance, reading a cookbook in which quantities are expressed in units of liters or ounces may require conversion of quantities to cups. Or, when looking up directions on how to get to a location, we may be interested to know how many miles we are going to walk. In this case, we would have to convert units of feet or meters to miles.
The first step in the unit conversion is to list the given units and the units required...

Reflection of Waves01:07

Reflection of Waves

4.5K
When a wave travels from one medium to another, it gets reflected at the boundary of the second medium. A common example of this is when a person yells at a distance from a cliff and hears the echo of their voice. The sound waves (longitudinal waves) traveling in the air are reflected from the bounding cliff. Similarly, flipping one end of a string whose other end is tied to a wall causes a pulse (transverse wave) to travel through the string, which gets reflected upon reaching the wall. In...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

55.5K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

System of Memory01:23

System of Memory

7.2K
Memory is categorized into three major systems: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM), and long-term memory (LTM). These systems differ in their capacity and the duration for which they can hold information. Sensory memory captures raw sensory input from the environment, holding it for just a few seconds or less. For example, on hearing a brief, loud sound, like a car horn honking, the sound seems to linger in the mind for a moment even after it stops. This is an instance of sensory memory...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Linguistics

Background:

  • Traditional memory research often isolates remembering as an individual cognitive process.
  • Existing approaches focus either on raw memory data or meaning-guided reconstruction.
  • A gap exists in understanding the social dynamics of memory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and exemplify a
  • third-way
  • approach to memory research.
  • To explore the inextricable relationship between conversation and the act of remembering.
  • To expand the scope of memory studies by considering sociality.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of articles focusing on conversational remembering.
  • Examining memory as a social, rather than solely within-individual, phenomenon.
  • Qualitative and discourse-analytic approaches to conversational data.

Main Results:

  • Conversations are frequently acts of remembering.
  • Studying memory within social interactions reveals new perspectives.
  • The sociality of remembering is integral to memory processes.

Conclusions:

  • An inextricable link exists between conversation and remembering.
  • Viewing remembering as a social process opens new avenues for research.
  • The study of memory benefits from incorporating conversational analysis.
