Logic and Reflection
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper discussing how perception can affect logic and critical thinking skills, leading to skewed decisions, actions or attitudes. On a personal level, it is easy to look back to see instances when perception has colored logic and confounded critical thinking processes that could have been quite valuable in resolving problems. The key appears to lie in the ability to apply those skills right away, rather than wait for the passage of time to create a clearer view of the situation that by then has passed and cannot be salvaged. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Long-Term Memory
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. The transitional process between stimuli to long-term memory involves three distinct components: encoding, storage and retrieval. At the moment sensory perception occurs (encoding), the memory sets to work keeping that information in its bank (storage) for later use (retrieval). The relative simplicity of this undertaking fails to emphasize the conscious aspects that must be happening simultaneously in order for this sensory information to leave the short-term memory and become embedded in the long-term. Four elements of control determine if and how much stimuli make that transfer: attention, rehearsal, encoding and retrieval. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
