PSYCHOLOGY PRESENTATION Naaifaa / Rashvan / Pearlie EFFECT OF AGE ON MEMORY In RECOGNITION of faces Introduction Skills in remembering of faces may be superior in the older people, as they have much more experience in this respect. However, aging may decline their cognitive abilities. The decision-making system of younger people will be different hence, their accuracy in face recognition will tend to be more different than older adults. Research problem / question Does age affect memory in recognition of faces? Literature review 1 Bryce, M. S., & Dodson, C. S. (2013). Cross-age effect in recognition performance and memory monitoring for faces. Psychology and Aging, 28(1), 87-98.

1. Establish an Accurate Diagnosis of AF1 ? AF is characterized by replacement of consistent P waves with fibrillatory waves, varying in amplitude, shape, and timing. ? The ventricular response is irregular and frequently rapid when AV nodal conduction is intact. ? In patients with pacemakers, diagnosis of AF may require temporary inhibition of the pacemaker to expose atrial activity. ? AF should be distinguished from 1) atrial flutter, which has regular organized atrial activity with a rate typically between 240 and 320 bpm, 2) multifocal atrial tachycardia, which has 3 or more distinct P waves of vari- able morphology, 3) regular supraventricular tachycardias, such as AV nodal reentry and 4) sinus rhythm (SR) with multiple premature atrial complexes.

Active transport - The transport of molecules across a membrane and against their natural flow; mediated by carrier proteins and requiring outside energy. Carrier protein - A protein responsible for mediating the active transport of molecules from one side of the lipid bilayer to the other. Transport is carried out by a conformational change that occurs within the protein that forms an opening for specific molecules to pass through. Channel protein - A protein responsible for mediating the passive transport of molecules from one side of the lipid bilayer to the other. Transport is carried out by its membrane-spanning hydrophilic structure which, when open, allows molecules to pass through.

States of Consciousness Waking and Sleep Rhythms Consciousness ? our awareness of ourselves and our environment Biological Rhythms ? periodic physiological fluctuations Circadian Rhythm ? the biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example, of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24-hour cycle REM Sleep ? rapid eye movement sleep, a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep, because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active Alpha Waves ? the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake sleep Sleep ? periodic, natural, reversible loss of consciousness ? as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation

Gregor Mendel Studied traits that occur in distinct forms. Developed true-breeding varieties When bred amongst themselves these plants produced offspring identical to the parent for that trait. Used mathematical analysis in his studies. Definitions Gametes: reproductive cells produced by sexually reproducing organisms. Two types: male gametes = sperm In plants: contained in pollen Female gametes = eggs In plants: contained in ovules which mature to seeds when fertilized Ovules contained in carpels Fertilization Fertilization: fusion of egg and sperm Self-fertilized: fusion of sperm and egg from same plant Cross fertilized: fusion of egg and sperm from two different plants Produced hybrids F1: first generation F2: second generation Mendel?s Model

B3.3 Keeping internal conditions constant 3.1 Controlling internal condition Keeping the conditions in the in the body within a narrow range is called homeostasis. Temperature, blood glucose, water and ion content and levels of waste products must all be controlled Waste products that have to be removed include; CO2 (produced by respiration) removed by the lungs urea (produced in the liver when amino acids are broken down) removed by the kidneys and temporarily stored in the bladder Water and ions enter the body when we eat and drink. If the water or ion content in the body is wrong, too much water may move into or out of the cells. This could damage or destroy the cells 3.2 The human kidney

Biology B3 B3.1 Exchange of materials 1.1 Osmosis Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a partially permeable membrane (e.g. a cell membrane) It?s random and re quires no energy 1.2 Active transport Cells may need to absorb substances which are in short supply, i.e. against the concentration gradient. To do this they use active transport to absorb substances across partially permeable membranes Active transport requires the use of energy released in respiration Cells are able to absorb ions from dilute solutions. For example, root cells absorb mineral ions from the dilute solutions in the soil by active transport Glucose can be reabsorbed in the kidney tubules by active transport
