The Effects of Gender on False Memory

Roediger and McDermot (1995) found that individuals who learned lists of words related in meaning to GIRL and MAN, but did not contain those words, falsely recalled GIRL and MAN. Bauste and Ferraro (2004) found no significant effect of gender on false memory using the DRM lists for GIRL and MAN. The present study used a modified MAN list to reflect more stereotypical gender words as compared to the GIRL list. It was expected that there would be an effect of participant gender on false memory using the modified list.

Growing Where You’re Planted: How to Embrace a New Community

When a tree is ripped up from the soil it must be quickly transplanted into new soil to keep from going into shock and dying; how much more do people who are relocating need to preserve their life by laying roots in a new community. Making friends and getting connected in a new place is essential to becoming an established part of civic engagement. Those two elements of establishment are easy to write but require intentional effort to be actualized. By looking at how the use of interpersonal, organizational, and technological communication expedites a newcomer’s integration, readers will be better informed of how to make a smooth transition if they ever have to embrace a new community.

A Meta-analysis of Negative Social Effects of Self-perception of Dyslexia and other Learning Disabilities and Early Identification

Children suffer from many different types of learning disabilities with dyslexia being a main one. Learning disabilities affect children, not only in school, but also in the rest of their lives, though not every child will have a lower self-perception than an average child with no learning disability.  Three questions will be answered throughout this paper in hopes that in the future there will be a way to prevent, reverse, or lessen negative social effects.

Response of Yeast to Wheat Flour versus White Flour

This lab was designed to see if whole wheat flour would provide a more efficient cell division than refined white flour.  Our hypothesis was that is would.  Through research, we found that whole wheat flour contains more nutrients, such as protein; which may speed up mitosis.  Our hypothesis was correct.

Apple Pigment Separation Lab

The lab we conducted was to test if the pigment of a red  delicious apple was lipid soluble or water soluble.  The lab took two different trials and tests to come up with the result.  We used two types of solvents—isopropyl alcohol, and 92% petroleum ether with 8% acetone solution.  Using these two types of solvents we then conducted a chromatography test to make a conclusion on if the red apple pigment was lipid soluble or water soluble.
