Sniffy the Virtual Rat Trial #1: Dr. Restauri’s Training Results on a CRF schedule for Lever Pressing

Submit your Lab Report #4 here, based on the requirements outlined in the Week 10 Canvas page; this Lab Report is due at the end of Week 11.

Please review the expectations of what should be included, and how this should be formatted, found in our Lab Manual. You are welcome to use the Lab Report Template I built for you, under the Assignments module, as well.
REMINDER: All lab reports should have a title page; subheadings; details of your experiment; graphics that represent the data; a reference page; and show reflection and integration with our recent materials we reviewed. You are encouraged to cite our ebook and/or other readings to support your Introduction & Discussion sections.
A minimum of 2 pages, single-spaced, is expected, including figures, for the body of your Lab Reports. Make sure you are using APA formatting, including a cover page, and final reference page (not included in your page count), and writing in your own words.
Please note: I have changed these assignments to be worth more than 5 points each, simply due to the fact that I expect work that I believe is worth more than 5 points, including the 2 page report. You may earn UP TO 15 points for completing the experiment and submitting a well-done Lab Report.
Reminder to clearly outline your methodology, including details on your materials, participant, methods of data collection and analysis, and other important items.
For Lab Report #4, you will have 2 options to choose from; either a designated exercise from our Lab Manual, or the alternative that I have provided, which uses Sniffy the Virtual Rat Pro (trial version). Make sure that in addition to creating your Lab Report #4 with your title page & reference page, that you answer all questions prompts that were listed this week under the Week 10 Module. Please note that the required discussion prompts for your Lab Manual typically will be answered in the Discussion section of your Lab Report, and should match those I provided for Lab 4, which deviate from our Lab Manual. More details on this required Lab #4 are listed under the Week 10 Module, so read those carefully as you complete the Discussion area of Lab Report #4.

For this assignment, you will be putting together the knowledge that you gained through the first 3 phases and incorporating multiculturalism and ethical communications topics. In an APA-style paper of 7–9 pages, revise your work from Phases 1–3, and then provide a detailed response for the new Phase 4 questions. Your draft should include the following:
Your experience using SOLER (Phase 1)
Your experience using the “You feel…because…” formula (Phase 2)
The strengths and weaknesses of communication that allow for change focused-conversations (Phase 3)
Phase 4 Content
What is multiculturalism, and why is it important to understand cultural issues for effective, efficient, and ethical communications in a workplace setting?
What are some potential barriers to communication, and how can they be addressed by managers and leaders in a workplace setting?

(Use a combination of your imagination AND research to gain an understanding of how Alcoholics Anonymous meetings go/function/operate.) Then, write a 5-page paper detailing this experience. The number of sources you use should not exceed the number listed. Precise instructions are included in the attached document. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE site references and in-text citations correctly!!! Also, if knowledge is not general or your own, CITE IT! Thanks!

In the first part of this assignment you will write ONE paragraph. Use this space to post your thoughts, comments, and questions about the journal article for the Memory Techniques & Errors chapter, which is cited below and linked in the files
Cole, Z. J. & Butler, D. L. (2020). Disentangling the effects of study time and study strategy on undergraduate test performance. Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research, 25(2), 110-120. https://doi.org/10.24839/2325-7342.JN25.2.110
This should be written in a cognitive psychology perspective.
For the rest of the page you will watch the documentary (the full video is 1 hour 42 minutes) that will be linked below the instructions. This documentary follows a group of women at a voluntary in-patient eating disorders clinic. After watching the video respond the following questions:
1) From a CBT (cognitive behavioral perspective), identify 3 maladaptive thoughts/cognitive distortions) you heard some of the women expressing in regards to their eating disorders?
2) Identify 3 affective or emotional symptoms of the patients with anorexia.
3) Identify 2-3 co-morbid disorders that you see commonly in the women.
4) Provide one example where the family environment likely contributed to the development of one of the patient’s eating disorder.
These questions should be answered from the abnormal psychology perspective. The link below will take you to the YouTube video of the documentary. The YouTube version is slightly grainy but there may be other ways to watch the documentary.

Longitudinal studies are an important tool in the scientific study of development. They have been used as well to gather healthcare data. There are several famous studies that have great impact on our understanding of physical and psychological development. Pick 2 studies from the list and write a summary of each study. Your summary should include: · Who performed the study? · What were they hoping to find? · Who were the subjects and how were they selected? · What research methods were used? · What did the researchers find? · Has the data collected resulted in any real world applications? · What are the criticisms of the study? Studies: • Genetic study of genius (Terman Study) • Framingham heart study • Grant Study • Midlife in the US • Minnesota twin family study • Millennium cohort study (US not UK) This is an individual assignment. Group work will not be graded.

After reviewing the case below, choose two perspectives (neuroscience, humanistic, cognitive, psychodynamic, or behavioral) to create a short dialogue between two psychologists discussing Sara’s behavior. Feel free to be creative in your dialogue! Define your two chosen perspectives and briefly discuss the differences of each approach. What was one missing in your dialogue from the case that the other helped to explain?
For example, what would a psychodynamic psychologist say about Sara’s behavior versus a cognitive psychologist? Your dialogue might look something like this:
Psychodynamic Psychologist: Sara seems to be exhibiting these behaviors as a result of unconscious thoughts and conflicts she may not be aware of.
Cognitive Psychologist: That could be true! But I think a possible cause of Sara’s anxiety could stem from the way she thinks about the world around her. Her thinking is distorted and we should work to change that.
Psychodynamic Psychologist: Hmm… Sara’s parents did get a divorce when she was in high school. She could have possibly repressed those feelings that are now coming to the surface from her own recent divorce.
Cognitive Psychologist: Yes, but we are still not getting at the root of the way Sara thinks and processes information. She excessively worries about everything, not just her parent’s divorce and her own.
Case
Sara is 35-year-old woman currently struggling with increasing pressure at work and a recent divorce among many other things in her life. At the urging of her friends and family, she sought counseling and was diagnosed with Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Sara has a tendency to worry excessively about her children, money, friends, cat, and just about everything else where other people might not find a reason to worry. At work, she has trouble concentrating and is finding it difficult to perform at her best. Her boss is putting more pressure on her to perform better and meet sales goals for the quarter. In general, Sara feels like she is often on edge, tense, exhausted and is very irritable, which has impacted her everyday life. The amount of stress and anxiety Sara is experiencing in her life is also contributing to her depression. She feels as though she is in a vicious cycle she cannot escape.
When Sara was in middle school, her parents argued a lot and she often heard them talking about divorce. In high school, Sara’s parents finally followed through and divorced, which made Sara feel very alone and not in control of her own life. She said that she still feels that she is not in control, worries often, and cannot control how she feels, despite her attempts.

Public health issues are often communicated through posters and facts sheets. For this week, you will do a bit of research on stress and anxiety in sports. You may use scholarly sources as well Your research should contain the following information:
1. The difference between eustress and distress
2. Some basic statistics about stress and/or anxiety in sports
3. A list of the types of anxiety typically experienced in sports
4. A list of at least two practical interventions to help alleviate stress and/or anxiety in athletes.
5. A list of at least two scholarly references
6. At least two pictures related to the topic

In the last topic, we touched upon false memories in the discussion of repressed memory.
For this topic we will add more to the discussion of false memory. Loftus and Palmer (1974)
wrote a seminal article on this topic (attached). Please find 3 articles on the topic of false
memory and discuss how false memory affects many different areas. Make
sure you reference your articles in APA format in your discussion post.
