ask Analysis
The first computerised test assessed social intelligence using the Social/Emotional cognition task (SECT). The main purpose of this test is to measure the cognitive domain of social cognition. Social cognition examines how humans process, store and apply information about social situations. It focuses on the role that cognitive processes play in social interactions. Social cognition focuses on the way we think about others and how it plays a major role in how we think feel and act with the world.
In the computerised test, the pre-test instructions ask you to “tap the odd one out”. The test presents 4 pictures on the screen at once where one of them is different in a way and the odd one out, the subject must pick the odd one

The test’s pre-test instructions ask participants “in what location did these pictures belong?”
Visual learning helps people retrieve and remember information more efficiently.
The first task is an immediate recall task, where there are different shapes on the screen and a box in the middle. One at a time, one of those shapes will appear in the middle of the screen, and participants have to select the matching shape from the screen. The second task, the shapes around the screen are hidden in the same spots, and when a shape appears in the middle of the screen participants have to select the spot where the matching shape is hidden.
The unit of measurement used for this test is total errors. Where the lower the participants’ score of errors, the better their performance is considered. The average time to complete it for “healthy” participants is five minutes. (Cogstate, 2016).

The first test I completed (CPAL) measures memory through a series of recall and recognition tasks. The test began with a paragraph of information, explaining how to complete the test. (see appendix A)
Once you click start, a grey box with instructions for the first task is shown (see appendix B). The instructions are clear and concise. The instructions make it clear that the following task is practice.
This task consists of 6 different shapes, and one at a time one of these shapes appears in the middle and you must choose which shape it
What is emotional intelligence? EI is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically; thus, compared to Daniel Goleman's definition to emotional intelligence are very similar just in more detail.
Memory can be defined as the mental system for receiving, encoding, storing, organising, altering and retrieving information (Coon & Mitterer, 2012). Many a time one is able to remember something, example how to drive a car, yet they are unable to remember a mathematical formula for an examination. People vary in their ability to remember certain things, and research conducted has proven that even infants differ in their memory abilities (Fagan & Singer, 1963). It was discovered by psychologists that memory is not static, but rather it is influenced by ones internal factors and situational happenings to a large effect (Huffman, Vernoy & Vernoy, 1997). This essay will attempt to discover which method of study is most suitable, by listing
PART B --- Directions: Each experiment below has three steps. Read them, do them, and then draw what happens.
Social cognition is our ability to understand other people, and it enables us to predict their behaviour and share experiences.
3. I believe the embedded shapes tests where a group of shapes, numbers or letters formed or paired closed together to create a certain illusion. However for this study I believe the participants had to find the certain shape, and see if colors portrayed their vision to make them see it better.
Memory is a set of cognitive processes that allow us to remember past information (retrospective memory) and future obligations (prospective memory) so we can navigate our lives. The strength of our memory can be influenced by the connections we make through different cognitive faculties as well as by the amount of time we spend devoting to learning specific material across different points in time. New memories are created every time we remember specific event, which results in retrospective memories changing over time. Memory recall can be affected retrospectively such as seeing increased recall in the presence of contextual cues or false recall of information following leading questions. Memory also includes the process
Emotional intelligence; also referred to as EI or EQ, is defined as, “a skill in perceiving, understanding, and managing emotions and feelings” (n.d.). The way I express myself, interact with others, demonstrate emotions and deal with stress on a consistent basis may lead to a high EQ, or low EQ, depending on my actions. I was able to take a self-assessment on the McGraw-Hill/Irwin website that provided a score for my emotional intelligence with specific areas of strengths and weaknesses included. Overall, I scored 87 out of 100 possible points, which ranks my score considerably high. Based on my results, I faired well in regards to understanding and managing my emotions in all areas of my life. Understanding emotional intelligence, and achieving a high score in similar assessments, may lead to rewarding results in many facets of life’s daily tasks and interactions. A person, who has developed a high emotional intelligence, will keep their emotions under control, strengthen relationships with those around them, and know their limitations.
The book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, provides an alternative approach to how a person achieves success. This book does not focus on the conventional determinant of success, such as formal education and training, experience, and intelligence level (IQ). Although all these components contribute greatly to ones achievement of success, these factors are not the only factors to be considered in whether a person will be successful or not. This book focuses on the concept that it refers to as emotional intelligence (EQ), which is one’s ability to recognize and effectively understand his/her emotions in a productive and rational manner.
The first study was the international shopping list (ISL). The purpose of this test was to see if verbal learning had an effect on memory retention of a list of words. This test stressed that verbal learning was not solely dependent on remembering the words but on performing the task after being verbally told how to perform the task. For instance, if a participant was told to go into the grocery store and retrieve eggs, flour, sugar, milk, and corn the participant should remember this list of words and physically go into the store and retrieve the objects without being reminded of the items on the list. This test differs from the international shopping recall list (ISRL) because this test was performed twenty-five minutes after the list was initially called to see if participant could recall the list.
For this experiment, I used the Memory Interference Test (MIT) where undergraduates contribute to a database by choosing a test that analyzes their memory with either seeing pictures, reading words or hearing. The objective for the MIT is to create data for the participants, in the test, to hypothesize on different aspects of the exam and of
The Rorschach test is a projective psychological test created in 1921 by Hermann Rorschach. The test consists of ten symmetrical inkblots printed on cards which are divided into five black and white and five in color. The Rorschach test is used to inspect the emotional functioning and personality characteristics of the person taking it. It is often employed in diagnosing underlying thought disorders. Also in differentiating psychotic from non-psychotic thinking in cases where the patient is averse to openly admit to psychotic thinking."
To assess the memory of the two groups, we can use two tasks. The first task is working memory which includes three practices one before the scanning by one day or more, the second before the scanning and the third practice within the scanning. The
Use the scoring information in the blue shaded area, select one area that you think you need to work on to be an even better leader/manager.
Social cognition is the encoding, storage, retrieval, and processing, of information in the brain. It is a process that is generalized within a species, and relates to members of the same species. At one time social cognition referred specifically to an approach to social psychology in which these processes were studied according to the methods of cognitive
Picture a world where humans could not understand each other’s feelings. It looks pretty bleak, right? Luckily, humans do have the ability to comprehend others’ facial and body expressions, emotions, and language. Since this is such a beneficial and amazing power that we hold, it has been labeled as a sort of intelligence- emotional intelligence. The ability to control and express our emotions, as well as understand, recognize, and response to others’ emotions is essential. Emotional intelligence acts as a primary key to survival for humans.
