Below are pasted guidelines that need to adhere. The essay should be critically evaluating, summarizing models of writing regarding cognitive functioning, and then focusing on comparison with various strong experimental papers that depict text generation from a cognitive standpoint.  Elements to aim to include in your essay answers are: ·       Demonstration of your understanding of the topic ·       Well-organised and coherent argument addressing the question set ·       Use of a wide range of supporting evidence ·       Demonstration of independent thought, by making points and/or including evidence that was not explicitly highlighted in the lecture content, e.g. by making links between different content or using relevant evidence from your independent reading. ·       A critical approach to the topic.  This can be achieved by evaluating the theoretical and empirical evidence in a way that is relevant to the exam question, i.e. what strengths/limitations are there that could impact on the ability of the evidence to shed light on the question?  You can also show a critical approach to the topic by comparing and contrasting the evidence, to show an appreciation for where evidence is supported by other pieces of evidence, or where there is conflict.

Schacter (1999, and Schacter & Guerin, 2011) has argued that memory distortions “reflect adaptive cognitive processes that contribute to the efficient functioning of memory, but produce distortions as a consequence of doing so”. Discuss whether you agree, referring to evidence from memory research.

1) Watch the following video about a North Korean Prisoner. Next, read Anderson Cooper’s interview with a North Korean escapee to answer question’s for this activity’s paper. 2) Answer the questions THOROUGHLY, using examples to back up your answers. 3) Each question is worth three points. Explain the “three generations of punishment” idea. What were the prison rules? Describe Camp 14. What was existence like in the camp? How did the prisoner perceive the ideas of love and family? Describe the man’s torture and the public execution of his mother and brother. What did we find out he was hiding? How did he try to rectify it? How did he escape? What was his idea of freedom? What was the outside world like for him? How far has he come in seven years?

Although students of social work have not yet satisfied the criteria to earn the title of “social worker,” they are bound by the same ethical requirements as titled social workers. Social workers regularly face ethical issues of varying magnitude, and social work students may as well. Some issues seem obvious, while others may emerge in subtle ways. For this Discussion, select one of the following scenarios. Consider the dilemma described, and imagine how you might feel if you found yourself in a similar situation. Think about the ethical obligations you would have as a social worker or social work student. Scenario 1 You are a social worker in a public health department providing services to pregnant women. As part of your duties, you provide parenting education, support, and connection to community resources, and you follow up with the families and their newborns for six months after birth. Ms. C has been a client of yours during two pregnancies in the last three years. She has a 15 year-old, a nine year-old, a three year-old, and a newborn. On this day, you are making a routine visit to Ms. C, who lives in an older mobile home in a rural area of the county. You take with you a newly hired social worker who is in training. When you arrive at the house, you find that it is clean and the two older girls are busy doing their homework. The three year-old is playing, and Ms. C is feeding the baby. During the visit, the new social worker asks Ms. C whether she is looking for work. When you discreetly ask her about birth control, the social worker remarks, motioning to the 15 year-old daughter, “You better get her on birth control if you do not want more babies around here.” Ms. C does not respond to the other social worker, instead maintaining her focus on you. You can tell that she is bothered by the remark about her daughter.   Scenario 2 You are at lunch with some of your social work colleagues at a mental health center. While you are eating lunch, one of your colleagues says, “So, none of you can beat my morning. I had a borderline in my office who was definitely off her meds. She kept jumping out of the chair and spinning around the room and she was talking really fast about having a baby and being pregnant. I did not even try to deal with her. I called the Access Team and it took them half an hour to get to my office. The whole time I am watching her spin around, and I cannot help but laugh. They took her for an evaluation, but that was the craziest woman.” Post a description of the steps you would take to address the situation in an ethical manner. Justify your response with evidence from the Readings.

Assignment Details Scenario: You are an investigator for Child Protective Services in your community. One of the most difficult aspects of interviewing is the interview of a suspected victim of child sexual abuse. Often, the first interviewers are detectives or investigators from the police department with little or no training for interviewing child sexual abuse victims. The Commander of the Sex Crimes Unit would like to you to identify errors in interviewing by police investigators when questioning child sex crime victims about the circumstances during the alleged offense(s). The psychopathology of the suspect and the victim are very important, but the victim can be misled unintentionally by police resulting in false or inaccurate complaint information. The Commander of the Sex Crimes Unit would like you to outline and explain the specific areas to be avoided when questioning a child as a sex crime victim. Specifically, he is concerned with the following: The use of suggestive questions The implication of confirmation by other people Use of positive and negative consequences Repetitious questioning Inviting speculation In a 3–5-page paper, address the specific concerns, and explain why it is preferable to have the child interviewed by a person with the qualifications to potentially testify as an expert witness in subsequent criminal trials.
