As you have been witnessing, historically science has been an elite road traveled by the rich, religious leaders, and the privately educated. Today, we are seeing a movement in STEM and STEAM to promote scientific endeavors in the public school system and in the community. In fact, you have just finished a community based science project. Your job is to compare and contrast the ways in which science was disseminated throughout the culture in the renaissance to today. Your ultimate question to answer is...

Is our education system serving scientific thought and the creation of new scientists and scientific discovery?

Hint: You may wish to look at what STEM and STEAM programs are and what the NGSS standards are for public education.

Requirements:

3. In the first unit of this module, we discussed the neural basis for learning and memory. a. Describe the process of LTP. Be detailed in your response. b. Whereas LTP is an increase in the effectiveness of synapses, LTD is a process by which specific sets of synapses are selectively weakened. Calcium is involved in both LTP and LTD. Explain how different concentrations of calcium would lead to LTP vs. LTD. Be specific in your response, including the enzymes activated by calcium and the downstream changes to the number of receptors embedded in the postsynaptic membrane

You are developing a new drug to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). You know that patients do not show clinical signs of improvement when they begin taking an SSRI. Your goal is to create a drug that will result in immediate improvement for patients, and can be used with SSRIs initially, and discontinued once the SSRI becomes fully effective. a. Explain how SSRIs affect transmission at serotonin synapses, and why clinical effects are not seen immediately after a patient starts taking this medication. b. What part of neuronal transmission would you target with your drug? Why would this alleviate the issue with SSRIs?

For this task you will examine the experiments of Loftus and Gardner. Describe and analyze each of these experiments. You will prepare two separate analyses; for each analysis, include the following:

A brief summary of the study

A one paragraph explanation of   the background in the field leading up to the study, and the reasons the researchers carried out the project.

The significance of the study to the field of psychology

A brief discussion of supportive or contradictory follow-up research findings and subsequent questioning or criticism from others in the field  

A summary of at least one recent experiment (within the past two years) that is related to the seminal experiment (Hint: Excellent sources for recent research summaries are the American Psychological Association’s Monitor on Psychology and the Association for Psychological Science).

Your own evaluation of whether the breakthrough experiments of Drs. Gardner and Loftus were examples of genius, the zeitgeist, or some other factor. Use their own autobiographical accounts as well as your analyses of their experiments and personal stories to support your opinion.

1. For school counselors: A teenage boy has had a sudden drop in grades, totally out of character. When you see him for your first session what would be some of the questions you would ask him in your initial assessment? What might you look for?

2. An elderly man comes in for therapy 4 months after his wife died. He says he is there because his family is making him. How would you differentiate between normal grieving and major depression. What questions would you ask and what do you look for?
