Suppose that people realize that they must save a larger proportion of their income in order to retire, and they simultaneously begin to use new technology that allows them to reduce their holdings of real cash balances as a proportion of their income. Giving reasons, clearly explain the combined impact of these two changes in household behaviour on equilibrium output and interest rates in a closed economy using the IS–LM analysis. You may need to draw a diagram to determine the impact. However, do not provide a diagram with the answer.

there has been numerous studies presented on dendrites and dendritic spines, because of their essential roles within a functional neurocircuit.  First, describe and explain how dendrites and dendritic spines play a significant role in neurocognitive processing on a circuit level.  Second, discuss in detail how dendrites and spines can reflect alterations of brain state in the following topics: (answer all of them)

a) During hormonal changes

b) During learning/memory

c) Social deprivation

Imagine you are a tetrapod ancestor about to leave the freshwater pond you’ve always inhabited and invade land. Consider the ventilatory and osmoregulatory challenges you have to face when you switch from a water environment to a terrestrial environment. How can you acclimate to the new habitat to succeed during your own lifetime? What adaptive changes does your species need to make in order to dominate various terrestrial environments for millions of years to come?

Part A

Your book Theories of Human Learning: What the Professor Said - 180 Day Option, 6th Edition
Guy R. Lefrancois discusses several neuropsychological changes that underlie learning. Please describe your thoughts on learning and thinking according to Hebb's theory. Please discuss in detail the relationship between neurology and learning according to this concept and use examples as applicable.

Part B

Compare and contrast Hebb's theory of learning to Tolman's theory of learning.

4. A monopolist faces a linear demand for its product and has a flat marginal and average cost of production. An innovation lowers the cost of production by $1 per unit. Use the graph to show the profit-maximizing monopolist’s choice and the changes due to the innovations. a. How much will the price change as the result of the innovation? b. How much will profit per unit change as the result of the innovation? c. Summarize: who benefits from the innovation? Explain in 2-3 sentences.

Sketch the wave-function of the ground state of a particle of mass m which is con- fined in one dimension within a square potential well of infinite height, centred at x = 0 and of width a between x = ?a/2 and x = a/2.

What type of function is that?

If the infinite potential well is replaced by a potential well of finite height, sketch the new ground state wave-function. Explain qualitatively how the ground state energy changes in going to the finite well.

Income inequality has grown dramatically in the US over the past 4 decades.   Is that a bad thing? Why/why not? What percentage of the US work force has enjoyed improved standards of living over the past 4 decades?   Who has received the productivity and income gains generated by the US economy over that period of time?   Should public policy be changed to encourage greater or lesser income inequality?   What changes would you advocate?
