What Are Some Factors Do You Think Might Contribute To The Development Of False Memories
1. “Watch the following video (link provided in Chapter 8 Resources): The Fiction of Memory. How does this video change the way you view memory? Do you think it is possible for people to have memories that are not real or faulty? Discuss some factors do you think might contribute to the development of false memories, and explain how you think eyewitness testimony should be handled in the courtroom.”

Research has found that children that had spent the most time in day care had slightly advanced thinking and language skills. However they had an increased rate of aggressiveness and defiance. Some risk when spending a lot of time in day care can be bad. Daycare can be good for cognitive development and daycare can be bad by making kids more aggressive and impulsive. Children in higher quality daycare develop slightly better cognitive and language skills than being in lower quality daycares. Factors that might influence how strongly daycare affects a child are, the time spent in a daycare, and the daycare settings and how there organized. Like the high quality daycares consist of warm supportive interactions with adults in a safe, healthy and stimulating environment, whereas poor care is boring and unresponsive to children’s needs.

I would select the daycare by visiting the daycare and talking with the staff and observe the facility. I would talk to my friends and others that have their children in daycare and get good references on the …show more content…
“Describe the difference between punishment and negative reinforcement. How effective is punishment, and what criteria must be met for punishment to be effective? Imagine that you have a child who is throwing a tantrum in a grocery store because he or she wants a candy bar. You might be tempted to use physical punishment to control his or her behavior, but come up with a better alternative and explain why it would be more effective than physical punishment.”
Negative reinforcement is removing something bad in order to encourage the repeat of a behavior. Negative reinforcement is not punishment; Negative reinforcement is the strengthening of a response through a removal of a stimulus after the response has occurred. Reinforcement increases a behavior, whereas punishment does the opposite. An example of negative reinforcement is when your child is watching television and refuses to do their homework. Turn the television off until the child completes their homework. A punisher is any consequence that decreases the frequency of a proceeding behavior. Negative reinforcement modifies behavior by executing a negative response to an action, whereas punishment is only the consequence of an action and does not necessarily motivate a change in
