Simon Task Research 1.0 Introduction According to Schlaghecken et al. (2017), Simon task refers to a scientific procedure that helps in making discoveries, testing hypotheses, and in demonstrating known facts. Aisenberg (2018) asserts that Simon experiments, especially in psychology tests predictions through subjecting individuals or groups to one or many conditions such as IV or various levels of independent variables, and after that, it measures the effects portrayed by task performance. Yamaguchi, Wall, and Hommel (2018) posit that within the subjects which are also referred to as repeated measures, designs helps in measuring the same items that are under different conditions. Also, the independent group’s designs help in assigning different people to the independent variable in each level. Erb and Marcovitch (2019) postulate Simon’s task is an experimental paradigm that focuses on the compatibility of the stimulus-response through tapping in an executive function type, also known as visuospatial inhibition. Hübner and Töbel (2019) also believe that the compatible nature of items together with the position of irrelevant spatial comes in to support the correct rule-direct response. At the same time,…
Southwest Airlines Case study This company had been formed at the height of flying business competition. It had therefore to come up with measures that will make the company break even in the first place and also stay afloat so that it does not close down. With various draft measures, it was able to break even in a record two years. On the question whether I would be happy working in such an organization, I would say yes. This is because it gave employees the challenge to do whatever they wished as long as is creative to make things work. The top talents would take up the challenge and do things at random that ended up promoting the company services and consequently its name. Therefore anybody who likes challenge and being would want to work for the Southwest Airlines.

features of Plato’s ethical theory One of the essential features of Plato’s ethical theory is that it presents beauty as the central factor. To be more precise, Socrates insists that both physical and emotional beauty have the high power of awakening the soul. In the long run, it releases people from their bodily and spiritual impurities. Also, beauty results to love, and love makes people brave, and gift to every lover is courage. However, Socrates’ anamnesis has a robust and seductive factor, which leads people to fall in love with him instantly. As a result, participants implementing anamnesis should be keen and cautious. Zadie Smith’s On Beauty demonstrates the claim that Socrates makes in The Symposium that beauty leads to love and learning. Beauty has significant effects on lovers; in that, beauty influences the respective lover into disdaining former ways and producing a more beautiful physical appearance and persona. According to Socrates, love instills braveness; in the long run, lover gains more courage and confidence. Love provides wisdom. The love between two people reconnects the first halves to make them one and heal the…

Currently, educational software tends to become more of a commanding language. That is why introducing these sophisticated platforms has increased the prevalence of these tools in the education system. Free and costly software is currently being designed so that they can hide students and instructors in learning institutions to enhance productivity, learning, and research processes. For that reason, students who may be fascinated by attending lectures sometimes my perk up focusing on the idea of an educational simulation created banking to enhance students’ familiarization of math and other subjects. Indeed, there is no inadequacy of software-based devices in learning institutions. www.bigswitch.com will specifically highlight some of the significant software that is used in today’s education system. Some of which have been highlighted below: Multimedia tools As such, these types of devices incorporate a series of communication methods, like texts, videos, sound, and various graphics. They are less useful since it can capture many learners; for example, students…
Simone de Beauvoir’s Portrayal of Love To be androgynous means to contain both female and male qualities. In other words, there exists a woman in every man. Similarly, there is a man in every woman. Being androgynous does not mean sexual difference. However, it illustrates: the fact a man can fall in love with a woman means they share similar spiritual character traits. Yet, the difference usually results since the definition and expectations from love vary for both sexes. As a result, Simone de Beauvoir portrays a woman’s love as the desire of enslavement in such a way it becomes her liberty expression. On the other hand, men in love are brutal, not until they get what they want. Simone de Beauvoir’s portrait of the woman and the man in love is one that draws out the non-reciprocity of their relationship.

However, according to Simone de Beauvoir, authentic love is usually shared, and it is mighty to freedom. However, most relationships are non-reciprocity in nature, meaning that at…
aspects of simulation as a teaching strategy Simulation is more than just technology; people tend to think it to be in the nursing industry. In nursing practice, simulation is a teaching method or strategy that enables students, both graduates and undergraduates, to learn and practice in a proper environment. This teaching strategy aims at improving communication, the safety of patients and the ability of students to perform in advance nursing setups. Besides, simulation in nursing increases with regulations, standards and guidelines that help particular programs to get the best patient outcomes. This paper outlines the following aspects of simulation as a teaching strategy: theory, literature, efficacy, merits, demerits, variables and evaluation. There are learning theories that support or need simulation in nursing as a teaching method. It is necessary to develop a proper understanding of these theories because they help students with little knowledge about simulation to appreciate its success in teaching. An adult learning theory called the Andragogy theory by Malcolm Knowles can adopt clinical simulations (Radhakrishnan, Balachandran, Venkatesaperumal & D’Souza, 2013). Furthermore, the approach incorporates the method of…
Use the reading(s) to describe Sinclair’s attitude towards the kind of education that was prevalent at the time. “Holiday house,” written by Catherine Sinclair, is a mixture text that has both ethical and carefree views. Sinclair agrees that children need the guidance of adults since they have faults, although they also need freedom for them to grow independently. The author is not pleased with the education system that was used during that time. She states that the learners were being filled with facts, and reading, which should have been a relaxing moment for the learners, was a burden itself. Sinclair, in her tale, displays how stressful education was in the past to the extent of learners neglecting their lessons and using their school books to make boats. Children during that time never took education very seriously as compared to how education is valued in the modern era. Harry, one of the characters in Sinclair’s tale, states, “I wish everybody who writes a book is obliged to swallow it. It is such a waste of time reading when we might be…
Short stories Through the readings, ‘Story of An Hour’ by Kate Chopin involves one of the essential narrations that I found captivating. For instance, this is because of themes within that are realized within its setting development. One of the subjects within the story that facilitated the selection for the story is seeking identity by women, together with how repressive is marriage. For instance, the reaction of Louise concerning the death of Brently, her husband, is characterized by great fear; however, this changes to joyful reception or acceptance. For instance, this illustrates the searching for selfhood and personal identity, especially in the world that has been under the dominion of male. Besides, the specific reaction of Louise concerning the situation alludes that marriage creates freedom loss and oppression exclusively for the female. Consequently, the development of this story concerning the identified themes captivated me, especially with the demonstration of the actual nature of marriage within the society. Accordingly, this narration has transformed my thoughts regarding gender and marriage. Women are under captive of the particular bond even though love brings…
Shakespeare’s Approach to Gender Roles & Patriarchy in Othello Literature is a reflection of society. The values, attitudes, beliefs that society holds dear are projected by writers who have the hope of altering the negative values and upholding the positive values. Gender is understood as not only referring to either male or female but also as a social construct. It is the latter perception of gender as a social construct that informs this discussion because gender roles flow from this social construction of gender. Gender roles are the socially defined tasks given to a man or a woman primarily because of their sex. The stereotypes on the capability to perform a certain task or not are deeply entrenched in societies since time immemorial, thus reflected in literature. The renowned work of Shakespeare captures the patriarchal values of society, which is a system that treated men as superior and women as inferior. Women are perceived as the “other” “second class” persons, while men are the “subjects” of the system (Iyasere). The result of this treatment is that men get access to…
