(Part 1). Memory System Research with human patients and animals suggests that the brain contains a vast memory system, the various components of which may underlie different types of mnemonic functions. For this discussion: Locate and read a recent, full-text article from the Capella Library about the components of the brain’s memory system. Choose one component (other than the hippocampus) and describe in detail its mnemonic functions and the types of memory deficits associated with damage to it. Be specific in your examples. How does this information affect the work you will do in your area of specialization? (Part 2) Dementia Locate and read a recent, full-text article from the Capella Library about one form of dementia (such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Pick’s Disease, and so on), briefly discuss the brain structure involved in the disorder, then answer: What kind of problems with everyday life would a person with this disorder have? How might a person’s cultural beliefs impact the treatment they would receive for this disorder? Are there any current treatments? (Part 3) Various Forms of the t Test In what research situations should the paired samples t test be used rather than the independent samples t test? (Part 4) Two Versions of the Independent Samples t Test Analyze why there are two different versions of the t test on the SPSS printout and how you decide which one is more appropriate.
