    • How the basic tenants of theory influence the study of learning
    • How psychological learning theory can be applied in the workplace
    • Provide examples of how research methods are used to study the process of learning
    • Any American Psychological Association (APA) ethical guidelines or specific division ethical guidelines relevant to your presentation

Describe how the one historical figure you selected expanded the base of knowledge in the field, including information from the journal articles.

/in /by

Use the readings from your Psychological Testing and Assessment text, Embretson’s 2004 article, “The Second Century of Ability Testing: Some Predictions and Speculations,” and additional research to complete this discussion.

Research the historical connections and trends in the field of psychology of the following dyads: (1) Sir Francis Galton to James McKeen Cattell, and (2) Alfred Binet to Lewis Terman. Compare and contrast the relationship between both sets of key figures and the milestones they facilitated in the history of tests and measurements. What were the similarities and differences within each dyad? What were the similarities and differences across the two sets of dyads?

Choose one of these four individuals based on the criteria below and do additional research on that person using the Capella library. Share your findings about key contributions of that selected individual in your discussion post, citing at least two published articles, not including the Psychological Testing and Assessment text or the Embretson article (include these as references). Identify your choice of the key historical figure in your subject line of the post you submit.

In your post:

  • Identify a couple of important similarities and differences within each dyad.
  • Identify a couple of important similarities and differences across both sets of dyads.
  • Identify the individual who, in your opinion, had the greatest impact on your particular interest or specialty within the field of psychology. (Include the name of the individual in your subject line of the discussion thread when you submit your initial post.)
  • Describe how the one historical figure you selected expanded the base of knowledge in the field, including information from the journal articles.
  • Explain how that individual provided a foundation to a trend that continues in psychology today.

Write an essay (1,750-2,000 words) in which you will analyze the 360-degree feedback system. In your essay address the following: 1. Examine the advantages of tjhe 360-degree feedback system.

/in /by

Please follow the instructions on the attached rubric to complete the assignment

Please, no plagiarized work

Research evaluating 360-degree feedback systems tends to demonstrate superior outcomes to more traditional performance assessments. 360-degree systems rely upon multiple points of evaluation including supervisors, peers, self-rating, subordinates, computer-based ratings, and in some instances outside sources such as customers or clients. Discuss the advantages of a multi-rater system to improve evaluation of leaders and subordinates. Examine the challenges of the 360-degree feedback system especially considering how to increase rater agreement, frame-of-reference, and how to ensure raters know what behaviors and characteristics comprise effective performance. Lastly, analyze the future of 360-degree feedback and the inclusion of computer-based assessment within a 360-degree feedback system.

Restate the following in standard categorical syllogism form – make every attempt to have it in a valid mood and figure if possible. If it’s invalid, list the relevant rules and fallacies. (Have a look a Chapter 6, part E and F.) (9).

/in /by

I) (This Section pertains to chapter 4– These are NOT categorical syllogisms.) Put the argument into standard form and then identify the INFORMAL fallacies that are committed (if any).  Make sure to both defineand explain how the INFORMAL fallacies are committed. (9)

  1. A crust of bread is better than nothing.  Nothing is better is than true love.  So a crust of bread is better than true love.
  2. We’ve all heard that millions of Americans are without adequate health care.  But America’s doctors, nurses, and hospitals are among the best in the world.  Thousands of people come from abroad every year to be treated here.  Clearly there is nothing wrong with our health care system.
  3. On Friday, I took Jeff out to dinner.  He told me that if I wasn’t interested in a serious relationship, I should forget about dating him.  On Saturday I took Dave to a film.  When we discussed it afterward over a drink, he could understand why I wasn’t interested in babies.  Men are all alike.  All they want is a secure marriage.

II) Use the traditional square of opposition along with conversion, obversion, and contraposition to determine the truth value of the second sentence is each pair. (6)

  1. Some integers which are even numbers are not prime. (T)
    All non-prime numbers are odd integers.
  2. All inflammable substances are high in carbon isotopes. (T)
    No incombustible substances are low in carbon isotopes.

III) Translate the following into standard form categorical propositions.  If there are multiple translation options list all of them. (8)

Everyone who races will get a medal except those who didn’t finish.

  1. Not all ghosts are friendly.
  2. Cara is cool.
  3. Kaitlyn is never not on time.

IV) Restate the following in standard categorical syllogism form – make every attempt to have it in a valid mood and figure if possible. If it’s invalid, list the relevant rules and fallacies. (Have a look a Chapter 6, part E and F.) (9).

  1. Since each and every pachyderm is a vertebrate, we may conclude that only some arthropods such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters are elephantine animals, for there is an invertebrate that is a crustacean.
  2. There are handsome men, but only man is vile, so it is false that nothing is both vile and handsome.
  3. All schools that are driven by careerism are schools that do not emphasize liberal arts.  It follows that some some universities are not institutions that emphasize liberal arts, for some schools that are not driven by careerism are universities.

BONUS!!

For any 2 of the following, indicate what categorical proposition will yield a valid syllogism. If no proposition will, indicate that the argument is invalid. (You may use a Venn Diagram as well as the rules for enthymemes) (1.5 each.  Answer ONLY two.  If you answer more than two I’ll only grade the first two.)

  1. Encouraging toy-gun play gives children a clear message that the best way to  deal with frustration and conflict is with a gun.  Is this message that we want to be sending to our kids?
  2. If you did your homework, which you did, then you should be able to identify the form of this syllogism.
  3. Since no popular political candidates are people who were alive in 1901, and Hillary Clinton is not a person who was alive in 1901, you know what follows!
  4. Some cats are not polecats, so some polecats are malodorous beasts.
