PART A: Summarize the experiment mentioned regarding the free SAT prep course,

and the results of said experiment.

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Students’ Work Ethic Affected by Peer Groups, Desire to Be Popular. "

The experiment was designed to understand how adolescents' academic performance is affected by the pressure they receive from their friends. In this case, they selected 11 students who were studying at different schools in Los Angeles and who were members of social classes. The students had access to the free Prep courses and it was through this access that the researchers were able to evaluate the objective of the research. By analyzing the survey data, it was possible to see that students were 11% less interested in courses that they believed to be "shameful" and that they were afraid that their friends would discover that they were taking this type of course. In this case, the researchers concluded that peer pressure has a strong impact not only on academic life, but also on students' ability to choose.

Memories of a Memory
Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

“Remember Him”
By; Jacob Odom

Remember when you longed for love
That someone just for you
Remember what you sat alone
At your table meant for two
Remember when you fell for him
But none could ever know
Remember when your heart cried out
But you could never show
Remember when you told yourself
That “they can never see”
Remember when he touched your hand
And whispered that his, you’ll be
Remember how you skipped a beat
And felt his warm embrace
Remember how he looked at you
With a smile across his face
Remember how he cared for you
When others turned away
Remember how those who really cared
Would have your back and stay
Remember when you told your father
Who told you “Go away”
Remember when you told you love
Then by his side you lay
Now still you feel his warm embrace
And the comfort of his smile
Now loyal to your love you stay

The story
Linda sat at the table hard at work on a painting. She looked out the window studying the view of the backyard. What she saw seemed simple enough—trees, grass, large boulders, and a very blue sky—but to her the view had a pattern, a pattern that spoke to her and that she wanted to put in her painting. This painting was the one she would enter into the contest at school. She wanted so much to win the award . . . it meant everything to her . . . it would be proof that she was an artist. The award was what she thought about most every day and what she talked about to her family and friends. Today both of her parents were at work. Linda and her little sister, Nina, her grandmother, and her baby brother, Carlos, were at home. Her other brothers, Luis and Miguel, were playing basketball at the community center just down the road. Since it was the weekend, Linda had time to concentrate on the painting, which she needed to finish by the next day. Nina was sitting at the table too, doing her own painting of stick figures in bright colors. Linda encouraged Nina to paint and Nina loved doing it. Linda showed Nina how to put the brush into water and then into the paint. Nina was only five, but she learned very quickly. The colors danced on the paper with each stroke of her brush. Your picture is great! Remember to be neat, Nina,” Linda warned her sister. Nina sometimes showed a bit too much exuberance when she painted. Linda was very precise when she painted, as though she had a clear and vivid vision in her head which she was copying. It was about three o’clock when her grandmother reminded Linda that she had to complete her household chores for the day. At first Linda felt annoyance because she was almost finished with the painting and did not want to stop, but she knew she had to do what was expected of her. Being the oldest child was sometimes difficult, Linda thought to herself. She had more responsibility than the others, but being the oldest carried some advantages. She could stay up late at night and have a little more independence When she had finished her chores, she went back to the table where Nina was sitting, obviously very intent on doing something. As Linda went over to her and looked down, her expression drooped. “Nina,” she cried. “No, no, stop, stop. That’s my painting. What are you doing to my painting?” she asked. Nina looked up surprised by what Linda said. I was helping you . . . I wanted you to win the contest,” Nina answered in a tiny voice, concerned now by the look on her sister’s face, but proud of the little stick people she had drawn in the landscape Tears welled up in Linda’s eyes as she realized that her painting was probably ruined. She looked again at her sister who seemed so troubled by Linda’s reaction. Linda took the painting and went into the kitchen. “Grandma, look at what she has done . . . she has ruined my painting,” she told her grandmother as she cried. “Now I won’t be able to win the award—I won’t win the award at all.” Her grandmother didn’t know what to say but held out her arms and Linda clung to her, not knowing what she should do. “It will be all right,” she told her. “You can do another.” But Linda knew there would not be time between now and the next morning to finish a painting. Linda told her grandmother she needed to be alone and ran out of the house into the backyard without saying goodbye to Nina. Nina wanted to follow her but her grandmother said she shouldn’t. Linda felt cheated. She knew that Nina hadn’t understood and wanted to help, but now she would not win the award. She cried again, but as time went by, her tears dried and she began to realize that even though she was disappointed, life would go on, and in time she would forget all about the contest. Suddenly, from somewhere inside her, she began to get a feeling of hope. “Maybe I wanted that award too much,” she said to herself as she realized that being an artist wasn’t about awards. Suddenly she knew there would be many other paintings in her life and other awards. There would be plenty of time to become an artist, but there would only be one Nina. She turned back toward the house, hurrying. She wanted to go in and hug Nina.
