Explain how family systems theory applies to your family (or the one that you selected).

/in /by

Understanding your family system can help provide useful information when working with families. Family systems may be open or closed. Open family systems involve acceptance of all family members as equal participants in the family. For example, children may be included in family decisions. Closed systems involve an authoritarian approach to family structure. For example, children are not included in family decisions. The strategies associated with family systems can help families explore the inner workings of their family structure.

In this Application Assignment, analyze family systems related to family systems theory.

The assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Explain whether your family system, or one with which you are familiar, is an open or closed system. Justify your response.
  • Explain how family systems theory applies to your family (or the one that you selected). Include a detailed analysis of the subsets, boundaries, family rules, and feedback loop or loops.
  • Based on your responses above, explain how your family system, or the one you selected, is unique

Illustrate methods to enhance memory

Behavioral methods such as repetition has long been known to enhance memory performance, and it has been consistently shown that repeated training trials and/or learning events are associated with better memory. Retrieval induced reconsolidation occurs through repeated retrieval sessions. When a memory is retrieved, it can again return to a labile state and can undergo reconsolidation. Associating words with images is another commonly used mnemonic device, providing two alternative methods of remembering, and creating additional associations in the mind. Another method of improving memory encoding and consolidation is the use of a so-called memory palace (also known as the method of loci), a mnemonic techniques that relies on memorized spatial relationships to establish order and recollect other memories.
