 importance of studying the effects of a cardiovascular training exercise on long term memory in children             Cardio is a type of exercise that is aimed at increasing the heart rate to at least 50% its maximum  (Chapman et al., 2013) . Such activity ensures that the heart  is able to pump blood to the tissues to enable oxygen and nutrient supply that is vital for growth. Furthermore, an added advantage is that cardio exercise enables the metabolism of fat  (Loprinzi, 2019). However, one important aspect of exercise that is not mainly focused on is its effect on cognitive brain function (Antunes et al., 2006). This paper is aimed at discussing the importance of studying the effects of a cardiovascular training exercise on long term memory in children. Memory Development Memory is part of the cognitive functions of the brain, in addition to concentration, attention, reasoning, judgment, and problem solving. Memory development is clearly evident by the time one is three years old  With further growth, the child is able to develop better immediate recall, short term, intermediate, and long-term memory.…

nature and nurture The development of human beings, both physical and psychological, is attributed to several factors.  The main ones are the genetic makeup and the environment through which an individual grows right from the womb. However, there are some differences in personalities among individuals and, therefore, the need to establish the contributing factor, whether genetic or environmental. For better studies, identical twins are used in the study as they are believed to have the same or closely related genetic makeup. (Tammen et al. 2013) They are, therefore, put under different environments to determine the strength of the influence of environmental and genetic factors. The following are some of the examples of twin studies carried out on various samples and, at different times, to track the significance of genetic and environmental factors. In the reviews below, nature and nurture are distinct terms. Nurture refers to the ecological conditions in which an individual grows, while quality refers to the genetic makeup of individuals. Quality depends entirely on the parents, and there is so little or nothing that can be cone to…

Motor Performance and Learning Skills Classification Theories and Principles The results from both practicals show that there are problems concerning the statistical data provided. A superficial dimension of movements comes from the reasoning from an independent memory, for instance, the generation of memory from such as an individual’s signature (Schmidt and Lee, 2013). For example, some trials were used to generate the error and accuracy. GMP is used for motor performance to help understand the variants in recall and recognition; this includes theoretical and practical perspectives.  There are different primary skills, such as perceptual skill is the way we interpret things, cognitive skills, our own decision making, and motor skills occur when voluntary movement is predominant. Motor skills play a crucial role in all phases of the life span. Includes all ages who perform motor skills such as walking, hammering (following skills), and driving a car. The practical failed to include some critical theories such us schema theory, which includes a General Motor Program (GMP) invariants. The trials made were from different targets, which the participants may have generated responses…

Apply Family Therapy Literature Review and Treatment Plan: Alcoholism   Part 1: Introduction and Selection Alcoholism is a critical issue in marital and family therapy since it creates destabilizing outcomes for marriages and families. It can destroy a marriage or create permanent divisions between family members. Spouses who over–drink ruin the family finances, ignore parental responsibility, create fights, and impair the overall happiness and health of the family. Alcoholism causes both mental and physical harm as 60-70% of physical altercations between married couples are fuelled by alcohol (Sobell & Sobell, 2016). Family members who abuse alcohol develop co-dependency and go to great lengths to keep the addiction alive even when it hurts them. It’s a frustrating condition for families and spouses due to the vicious cycles of remission and relapse. The American Psychiatric Association recognized alcoholism as a primary mental health disorder in 1980 as a subset of the substance abuse disorder.  Part 2: First Person Account and Therapy Approach Nina’s experience of being married to an alcoholic is illuminating on the devastating impact alcohol abuse can have on a…

A dog’s journey 2019’s film Introduction Animals are entertaining to watch. Modern directors are exploiting this particular undoubted fact to advantage their media programs commercially. There are several ways in which the directors are using the natural and unnatural characteristics of animals through their exhibition. For instance, the directors can film animals in zoos fighting where they allow them to fight until one of them is severely injured or even killed. This act is very entertaining for most of the program viewers. Most of the European countries such as North America have greatly outlawed and condemned dog fighting, cockfighting, and bear-baiting. However, it is evident that these activities still take place and have a lot of followers. A vast majority of people are appalled when they read the stories of these animal behaviors.

The case of Dawn vs. Vik Dawn had committed an act of murder by killing Vik just because the brushing had provoked him off the bicycle by Vik. According to the rule of law, murder is a serious offense, whether it happened with intent or not, as long as physical injuries or harm were inflicted on the deceased. The fact is that Dawn had committed a serious crime that was worth being prosecuted. However, Dawn is seen to have had past health records, which interfered with his thinking, and this might have led to him acting unreasonably, killing Vik as a consequence.
