Benchmark – Memory and Brain Mechanisms Paper
The goal of this paper is to understand how the brain and memory processes are intertwined and how certain techniques can improve these processes. In an essay of 1,000-1,250 words, discuss how memories are formed and maintained in the brain through the actions of neural circuitry. Use at least four scholarly resources to address the following questions:
Theoretically, how is working memory similar to and different from long-term memory?
How are memories formed in the brain (using neural circuitry), and how are they maintained?
When is it adaptive to remember, and in what ways may it be adaptive to forget?
Given what we know about brain mechanisms in memory, are our memories accurate? Explain your answer using information on how memories are stored in the brain.
How can knowledge of the brain and memory systems be used to help individuals suffering from memory problems (e.g., poor memory, amnesia, PTSD)?
Compare the role age and environment play in how memories are formed and maintained.

Discussion – Apa-7 in-text citations required
In 300 or more words, explain how you will tell the difference between a published research report from a peer-reviewed nursing journal and all other forms of articles.
Hint:
How can you tell if an article appearing in a nursing journal is a study? In journals that specialize in research (e.g., the journal Nursing Research), most articles are original research reports, but in specialty journals, there is usually a mix of research and nonresearch articles. Sometimes you can tell by the title, but sometimes you cannot. You can tell, however, by looking at the major headings of an article. If there is no heading called Method or Research Design (the section that describes what a researcher did) and no heading called Findings or Results (the section that describes what a researcher learned), then it is probably not a study.

Analytical Essay in Response to Art or Documentary Photography
In this analytical essay, youll explore the qualities that you think make a photograph interesting to read, in Graham Clarke’s sense. Select a photographic image that you personally would want to contemplate, for example, in your home, apartment, or dormitory room.
Begin with a single photographic image from the website photography-now.com to which you particularly respond. (Upload the image into your text.) Please select a contemporary fine art photograph (1960 to the present year).
Describe the image in detail.
Conduct some basic research on the cultural, social and/or political context of the image, using the website https://photography-now.com
(Links to an external site.)
and articles on the photographer that you can find by using Google Images.
Describe your personal response to the image what it means to you.
Generalize your response to explore what qualities in visual art photography are most meaningful to you.
Remember to include contextualized citations from your research that serve to explicate the image and your responses.
Generic Guidelines for an Analytical Essay:
All elements of your essay must support a unique, specific, focused thesis, i.e., main idea, key concept, or center of gravity.
Always create a specific title for your essay that reflects your thesis.
Construct your essay logically, rather than just jumping from one topic to another or listing them in serial fashion. Avoid the use of first, second, third as transitions. Concept mapping can help with this challenge.
Create transitions that clearly set forth the logical links between paragraphs.
Always caption your images:
Photographers name
Title of the image
Date
Carefully craft your introductory and concluding paragraphs.
Feel free to integrate narrative as well as descriptive writing into your expository writing, in order to make the writing more interesting and expressive.
