What is the adaptive unconscious? What role does it play in our decision-making?

/in /by

Read “The Statue That Didn’t Look Right” and provide a medium-paragraph length answer to each question below (using full and complete sentences).
1. Numerous art experts who looked at the Getty’s kouros statue immediately thought it was not authentic. What are the specific impressions and feelings that they had which led them to this judgment? Why were these specific individuals able to reach such a reliable judgment in only a matter of seconds?
2. How was the University of Iowa card experiment set up? What were the results of the experiment? What does the fact that many test subjects started to react to the red cards after only 10 cards suggest to us? How is this example analogous to the Getty statue example? That is, what do both examples together tell us about conscious and unconscious decision-making?
3. What is the adaptive unconscious? What role does it play in our decision-making? What is the
difference between our unconscious mode of decision-making and our conscious mode of decisionmaking? When is the unconscious mode of decision-making more useful than the conscious model 2
4. Do you agree with the very last sentence of this reading passage? In your opinion, when is it appropriate or safe to rely upon our unconscious gut instincts, and when might it be more appropriate to rely upon conscious, deliberate reasoning?

What is an experience you had that allowed you to see yourself differently?

/in /by

In order to foster your ability to integrate your learning and make connections between what you’re learning in class and what you are learning beyond the classroom, you will be asked to reflect beyond the Classroom (BTC) experiences from the perspective of your different kinds of growth across the semester. These questions can help you brainstorm which experience to focus on for each category
PROMPT
1. Self as Self – In the first 4 weeks of the semester, you will learn as much about yourself as you do about the NSU community. What is an experience you had that allowed you to see yourself differently? How have you grown personally in these first few weeks of the semester?
You will critically look back at what you experienced, what you learned from it, and what you will think or do differently as a result of the experience. For the reflections, you will produce a 250- to 500-word written reflection. Make sure that your reflection addresses each of these elements:
Prior to the experience: Describe your thoughts on the experience you had. What are you expecting? What were you hoping to learn? Help us to see where you were before so that we can better understand the impact the experience had.
What did you experience? Briefly describe the experience: What happened? What did you see? How did you respond? Who was there? How did the experience begin or end?
Describe how the experience connects to a larger concept or issue you have seen in your first semester at NSU, such as campus culture, wellness, academic success, or transitioning to college in general.
So what did you learn beyond the classroom? How and why was this experience important to you? How can this experience be beneficial to your success?
Now what will you do with what you have learned? How will you change the way you look at it? How will do something differently? How will you take new action toward your goals as a result of this experience?
(Please make up a BELIEVABLE and intriguing experience to answer the prompt. Please answer all questions of the prompt)

Use two paragraphs to talk about the experience of the poem.

Hannay 22-Use two paragraphs to talk about the experience of the poem. (A thorough and specific job is worth 10 of the 30 points)Here’s what to do: 1)Use two words to describe your feelings during and after reading. Think and explain for yourself and your reader why you think you had these feelings.Make a connection to your own experience in the world—from your life, or another reading, a song, someone you know—has the feeling and truth of the reading been true for you, someone you know? How? Not true—close but different in this way……2)Find the heart of the reading and quote it. What was the most important line, or word(s) for you? What words do you remember most? Quote that part of the reading. Look at the list of types of Literary Language(listed below on page 3)–does it fit one of these definitions? Which one(s)? Look at it again and think and tell your reader what makes it powerful or memorable or important. Why? Does it remind you of something else you’ve experienced or read? A movie? A moment? For some reason this word choice—this image—stands out in my mind because…. 1-They Say/I Say….. (A thorough and specific job is worth 10 of the 30 points)Here’s what you do: 1)Use the guidelines in Module One–for finding reliable literary criticismfrom Logan Library Data base–Academic Search Complete or Literary ReferenceCenter. The fastest route to our library is by clicking the library resource tab in Canvas. Use the tips for searching and finding to search around for a source with a scholarly opinion about your poem. Quote anopinion that interests, annoys or enlightens you and cite your source. Cite your source in the text of your paragraph and as a full citation on a Works Cited page. (If you use the Data Bases, then you can get a draft of the citation made for youin the Tools column. If not, then use the MLA Citation Tips and Links page in the moduleto make your citation.) Then respondwith your “I say……”Use one of the They Say/ I Saytemplates in our book to set up your best response. Here’s an exampleof a #1 They Say/ I say……with intext citation and full citation: In his analysis of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116, Livingston says, “as a famous love poem, it is highly unusual: It is not a declaration of love but a definition and demonstration(2).” I agree that the speaker’s matter of fact, I am an expert, tone makes the sonnet feel more like a “definition,” but the poem, as a whole, does also express a declaration of the truest form of love. The use of these lines……and these images…… suggest.

Using the sense of touch: Explain the gate-control theory of pain perception.

/in /by

We take in information through our senses in a process known as transduction. Each sense transduces stimuli through a different process, but the end result is the same – stimuli in our world is transformed into the language of our nervous systems – 1s and 0s (or action potential rate).
Then our brain has to make sense of it all based on the information it is receiving from our sensory end organs (i.e., bottom-up information from our eyes, nose, ears, skin, tongue) and the information it has stored in the brain (i.e., top-down information from our memories, expectations, etc). How we make sense of the world is our perception, and sometimes we make mistakes or are fooled by our senses! That’s where the fun comes into play! The visual illusion below is the rotating snake illusion. Do you see movement in the image? If you do, your brain made it up because there is no movement in the image at all!
INSTRUCTIONS
-1. Pick ONE of the following questions about vision to answer:
1A- How is light transduced by the eye? Be sure to mention the retina and the different functions of the rods and cones. What happens to transduction in your blind spot?
1B- How do we see color vision? Explain both the trichromatic and opponent process theories of color perception. Be sure to mention what happens (neurally) if someone is “color blind”.
-2. Pick ONE of the following questions about hearing to answer:
2A- How is sound transduced by the ear? Be sure to mention what happens in the outer, middle, and inner ears. How do cochlear implants mimic auditory processing?
2B- Describe the physical and perception qualities of loudness, pitch, and timbre. Explain the place theory, frequency theory, and volley theory of pitch perception. How does pitch perception change over the lifespan?
-3. Pick ONE of the following questions to answer:
3A-Using the sense of smell or taste: How is the sense transduced? Describe what an absolute threshold and a difference threshold might be. What happens when you become adapted to a smell/taste stimulus? Explain how Weber’s Law might apply in your example of the difference threshold.
3B- Using the sense of touch: Explain the gate-control theory of pain perception. Be sure to mention what information the fast and slow nerve fibers transmit. Name a bottom-up and top-down influence to pain perception and explain how it would affect pain perception in the gate-control theory.

Demonstrate your understanding of poetic concepts and how they apply to rap.

/in /by

In this paper you will demonstrate your understanding of poetic concepts and how they apply to rap. “Poetic concepts” include terms relating to rhythm,
rhyme, and figures of speech. The following are a list of components each analysis should include.
Elements to include:
list of 5 items
01
Find a rap song that is rich in rhymes and metaphors; download the lyrics. You can use a specific song from any time period, but make sure the song offers
you enough lyrics to analyze.
02
Select and then copy twenty (20) lines of the lyrics into your paper. Lyrics should be single-spaced and indented. Number each of the lines.
03
Find and classify interesting rhymes in these selected lyrics and describe the overall effect that the rhyming patterns create. For example: (In line
7, Artist X uses internal rhymes to layer the hard A vowel sound. This causes the listener to focus in on the specific words she uses to describe her
neighborhood.)
04
Find and classify interesting figures of speech in these selected lyrics and describe the overall effect that these figures create. Additionally, offer
a critique of the underlying rhetorical message the artist is communicating. Does the song offer a critique of power? Does it attempt to offer a feminist
perspective to a typically hyper-masculine concept? Is there a common theme to these figures of speech, is there a “overarching metaphor” that governs
the song?
05
Include a brief introduction in which you explain why you chose this song and brief conclusion in which you give a summary assessment of the quality of
the lyrics.
list end
—–
Your paper will be graded on:
list of 3 items

Whether you demonstrate knowledge of rhyme types and figures of speech (more thorough analysis will be awarded more points),

Whether you apply these terms and concepts correctly,

the quality of writing and organization of your paper. This is an upper division course, therefore I expect clear, error-free writing.
list end
*do not pick a mumble rap song with non-meaningful lyrics, and make sure that the lyrics are single spaced apart from the rest of the paper
