Jackson’s cognitive abilities were assessed with regard to seven broad areas of cognitive processing, through the use of the WISC-V, in addition to supplemental subtests given from the WJ-IV Cognitive. The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, long-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, processing speed and phonemic awareness, which is an aspect of auditory processing. On the WISC-V, subtests that measure different cognitive processing abilities combine to form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed which all together make up the Full Scale IQ score (FSIQ). Jackson obtained a FSIQ of 87 …show more content…
On the first set, Jackson had to repeat the numbers back to the examiner in the correct order (memory span), while on the second set Jackson had to repeat them in reverse order (working memory). On the third set of numbers, Jackson had to sequence the numbers presented according to specific directions. Jackson scored in the Average Range on this subtest overall (Digit Span, scaled score = 9). Further analysis of his performance on this subtest found that there was a difference between his ability to use memory span versus working memory on this task, as Jackson showed minor difficulties repeating the numbers presented backwards. Also, Jackson self corrected himself on numerous times. (Digit Span Forward, scale score = 10; Digit Sequencing, scale score=10; Digit Span Backwards, scale score= …show more content…
On this measure, Jackson was shown one or more pictures for a short period of time (e.g. 3-5 seconds) and he was then asked to select the pictures they saw in order from a larger picture array. Jackson verbalized strategies to remember the pictures order shown on task. On this task, Jackson scored within the Average Range (Picture Span, scaled score = 10). The difference between Jackson 's performances on these two tasks was not unusually large, indicating that his working memory is a good estimate of his short-term memory. Jackson obtained a WMI of 97, which is ranked at the 42nd percentile and is classified as Average Range. Furthermore, Jackson’s short-term memory scores were cohesive and relatively common compared to the general population. Jackson has the ability to maintain information and reproduce it in the same sequence (Memory Span). When ask to direct his focus of attention to perform a task with manipulations, he has the ability to make combinations with the presented information (Working Memory Capacity). This index is likely to be a good summary and an adequate estimate of Jackson’s working
On July 11th, 1975 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin a doctor by the name of Lester V. Salinsky, performed a surgery on the plaintiff, James Johnson. The surgery was took place at Misericordia Community Hospital (Misericordia), defendant, by Dr. Salinsky. Dr. Salinsky was scheduled to remove a pin fragment from the plaintiff’s right hip. However, “during the course of this surgery, the plaintiff’s common femoral nerve and artery were damaged causing a permanent paralytic condition of his right thigh muscles with resultant atrophy and weakness and loss of function” (Johnson v. Misericordia Community Hospital, n.d.). The plaintiff filed suit against Dr. Salinksy and Misericorida on October 13th, 1976, fifteen months after his unsuccessful surgery, which
Jacksonian (Democracy, Society, etc.) is a term used to describe reform during the time of Andrew Jackson’s Presidency. Specifically Jacksonian Democracy refers to “the general extension of democracy that characterized U.S. politics from 1824 to 1828.” Jacksonian Democracy and its support came primarily from the lower classes as a rebellion of sorts apposing the aristocracy. Even though it stressed equality, it was pro-slavery and anti-Indian (not unlike Andrew Jackson). Also there was change in both the political parties and the social reforms. Jackson was seen as a westerner (even though he was from Tennessee) and a president of the common man. This we can see when he married women out of the lower classes and the upper class was astonished. Also, Jackson had opened the white house to everyone on his inauguration day.
Topic: Jacksonian Democrats viewed themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity.
Jacksonians proved to be both guardians and violators of the Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and economic opportunity.
The Age of Jackson, from the 1820's to the 1830's, was a period of American history full of contradictions, especially in regard to democracy. The period saw an increase in voter participation, nominating committees replaced caucuses, and electors began to be popularly elected. Yet, all of these voting changes affected only a minority of the American people: White, Anglo-Saxon males. So, though one can easily tell that White, Anglo-Saxon males were gaining
Andrew Jackson is one of the most controversial presidents. Many regard him as a war hero, the father of the Democratic Party, an inspiring leader, and a spokesman for the common man. While there is plenty to praise about the seventh president, his legacy is tarnished by his racism, disregard for the law of the land, cruelty towards the Native Americans, and ruthless temper. Jackson was an intriguing man who was multi-faceted. One must not look at a singular dimension, and cast judgment on him as a whole. To accurately evaluate one of the most complex presidents, it is crucial to observe Jackson from all possible angles. Prior lifestyle, hardships in life, political ideology, lifestyle of the time, political developments, and his character
I Vicente Zepeda give knowledge that, I know Maria Irsau Dockery-Jackson for several years. I also know that she is responsible of Marco A Leon Ayala since his adoption. She has taken him to his doctor visits also, she was the one who would take him to school. They’re also immensely dependable. I’m aware that they currently live at 1811 27th Street Apt#3 in Rock Island Illinois. So overall, Maria taken custody of Marco was a sturdy
This essay addresses the working memory model which was proposed by Baddeley and Hitch (1974 in Smith & Kosslyn, 2007) as a response to Atkinson and Shiffrins (1968 in Smith, 2007) multi-store model. According to Baddely and Hitch the multi-store model failed to explain most of the complexities of the human memory and viewed it as being too simplistic. They argued that the short term memory store must have more components rather it being a single inflexible store as suggested previously by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968). The working memory model is therefore an enhancement of the multi store model. According to Baddeley and Hitch working memory is a limited- capacity system that stores and processes information.
During the 1820’s - 1830’s America went through some would call a political revolution when government issues were diverted from being only for the elite to now they would include the common man as well. This change of power brought a lot of power to the people contributing to the Jacksonian democratic belief of guarding the Constitution. Yet, many of the people under Jackson still saw no change in their liberties, as they did not meet the Jacksonians target audience of white males. Despite expanding the political conversation, Jacksonian Democrats used the Constitution to limit individual liberty and political democracy by only protecting the rights of only a select few of people and seeking to fulfill their goal of obtaining their own gain and maintenance of the then status quo lifestyle therefore not truly guarding the Constitution.
Shirley Jackson, the author of many great novels and short stories today. She was born in San Francisco, California to Geraldine and Leslie Jackson, on December 14th, 1916. She grew up having a wealthy lifestyle, as her great-grandfather made a family fortune by building houses in San Francisco. When she was a teenager she eventually moved to the East coast and later attended Syracuse University. In 1940, Shirley Jackson accomplished a lot. First, she received a bachelor of arts degree from Syracuse. After college, she married her husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman and later moved to Vermont with him. A few years later, after having written a few pieces of literature, one eventually made its way into the New Yorker during the year of 1943. This began to shape her future as a writer. Her pieces began showing up in magazines, newspapers, and more. This is when Shirley Jackson became well known and began writing more frequently.
Jacksonian Democrats help create a more democratic America and because of this, believed themselves to be many things, real and fictional. In most cases they perceived themselves as defenders of equal economic opportunity, even though they sometimes put their own interests before those of the people. They also thought of themselves as guardians of political democracy, while at the same time using class differences to their advantage and emotionalized speeches, lacking real intellectual merit, to stir support. Jacksonian Democrats felt that they were the protectors of the Constitution and of individual liberties but many times they put their rivalry with the Northeastern industry and Whig politics before these things. While Jacksonians have much correct in their view of themselves as guardians of political democracy, equal economic opportunity and individual liberty, they were often more important in developing these concepts than protecting them.
Sequential refers to her ability to hold information in immediate awareness and then retrieve it within a few moments, also known as working memory. Angel’s working memory was measured through verbal and nonverbal tasks. On one subtest Angel listened to an auditory stimuli and was asked to verbally recite the items in order. On the second subtest Angel listened to a list of items and she was requested to physically locate each item in the order that it was presented. Overall there is no variability within Angel’s working memory ability. Therefore, it is believed to be a true representation of her ability, as compared to typical developing
This essay will firstly briefly describe the theories and important facts about the original multi-store model of memory (MSM) and the working memory model (WMM).
The Das-Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) developed in 1997 by Naglieri and Das conceptualizing on the works of A. R. Luria PASS model theory, represents an analytic measurement of cognitive abilities based on neuropsychological construct. The PASS theory, acronym for planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive, focuses on the neuropsychological foundation in which cognitive processing and human intelligences based on the functional brain and mental activities of input, processing, and output (Das, 1999). Endorsement of the PASS theory endures understanding of human intelligence as it relates to cognitive abilities.
When an individual acquires information it is processed into the memory system and must be manipulated into a form the system is capable of understanding in order for storage to take place. This information is then stored in the long term or episodic memory and is known as encoding (Baddeley, 1975). There are three ways in which information may be encoded; visual (imagery), acoustic (sound) and semantic (meaning) (Baddeley & Hitch, 1974). Acoustic coding is suggested to be the main or principle coding system concerning short-term memory (STM). If someone were to be presented with a list stating various letters or numbers, the information will be held in the STM, which would occur through rehearsal. This is a verbal process irrespective of whether the items are represented acoustically (being read out), or visually (on a piece of paper). The dominant encoding system involved in the long-term memory (LTM) however, is suggested to be semantic coding (Baddeley, 1975). Information in the LTM may be encoded visually as well as acoustically.
