Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

36.8K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Work Done on a System by External Force

2.9K
The work done by an external force on a particle changes its kinetic energy. However, internal forces must also be considered for a system of interacting particles. The potential energy formulation helps formulate the effect of internal forces. The net work done by an external force can be written in terms of the total change of mechanical energy, which includes both kinetic and potential energies.
In the presence of a non-conservative opposing force, like friction, some part of the work done...

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...

Working Memory01:24

Working Memory

823
Working memory refers to a combination of components, including short-term memory and attention, that allow an individual to hold information temporarily as we perform cognitive tasks. It is an essential cognitive function that enables the execution of complex tasks such as problem-solving, comprehension, and reasoning. Unlike short-term memory, which simply involves the storage of information for a brief period, working memory involves the active manipulation and processing of this...

External and Internal Respiration01:24

External and Internal Respiration

7.2K
External respiration occurs in the lungs, and it is the first step in the journey of oxygen inside the body. When we inhale, oxygen enters our lungs and diffuses across the thin alveolar membrane. The alveoli are tiny, air-filled sacs that provide a vast surface area for gas exchange. Oxygen in the alveoli has a higher partial pressure (105 mmHg) than in the adjacent pulmonary capillaries (40 mmHg), establishing a pressure gradient. As a result, oxygen molecules move from the alveoli into the...

Internal and External Forces01:12

Internal and External Forces

16.1K
Newton's first law states that a net external force causes a change in motion. External forces act on an object or system, originating outside of the object or system. In contrast, internal forces originate inside the system of interest and do not lead to any acceleration. In simpler words, internal forces are forces that act on one part of an object and are exerted by another part of the same object. External forces are forces that act on an object due to some other object. Therefore, when...

Summary

This study shows that individuals with mild memory loss can effectively learn to use external memory aids (EMAs) to improve daily functioning. The use of these memory strategies was maintained long-term after the intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Mild neurocognitive disorder presents significant challenges in daily memory function.
  • External memory aids (EMAs) offer a potential compensatory strategy for memory impairments.
  • Structured interventions are needed to optimize the use and maintenance of EMAs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a structured external memory aid (EMA) treatment on individuals with possible mild neurocognitive disorder.
  • To assess the long-term maintenance of functional EMA use after the intervention.
  • To measure changes in self-reported memory skills following the EMA treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A multiple-baseline design across subjects within dyads was employed.
  • The Roleplay Assessment was used for data collection.
  • Visual analysis of graphed data and experimental pre-post design for self-report measures were utilized.

Main Results:

  • A significant treatment effect was observed, with all participants showing improved functional strategy use.
  • Participants maintained EMA use for 1-3 months post-intervention.
  • A statistically significant increase in self-reported strategy use was noted.

Conclusions:

  • Individuals with mild memory impairments can successfully learn and utilize EMAs for enhanced functional performance.
  • Documenting individual treatment effects is crucial for understanding compensatory strategy efficacy.
  • Functional measures are vital for assessing the real-world application of memory strategies.
