HRPYC81 Assignment 61 Explain how you will use one of the modern neuroimaging technologies to investigate age-related changes in memory.
Memory is one of our fundamental activities and it is only when it fails us that we start to think about it. To store information for recall, sensory data needs to transform into a form of mental representation. The retrieval of this information relies on the successful encoding and storage in the long-term memory, but how exactly does remembering work? Where is memory stored? What structures are involved in encoding and retrieval? Many early attempts to answer these questions and to localize me...

HRPYC81 Project 4813 – Assignment 60 - Conduct a literature review in which you explore one important finding (your choice) on memory and ageing that has emerged in the past 10 years.
Memory loss has a wide variety of causes; however, this literature review will mainly focus on the effect of ageing and if genetics play a role in the development of AD. It will discuss the findings and availability of resources in the area of memory decline and ageing. Recent studies have shown that Alzheimer’s disease is still the most common cause of memory loss, but it is often associated with comorbid findings such as microinfarcts, hippocampal sclerosis and Lewy bodies dementia. Lewy bod...

PYC4805 - Assignment 2 Critically discuss the influence of genetic influences (heredity) and the home environment on individual and group differences in intelligence (IQ). Mark 81
Intelligence is one of the most debated topics in psychology because of its complexity. There is a long-standing debate on how nature (heredity) and nurture (environment) influence intelligence and if intelligence tests are biased and inaccurate measures of the mental abilities of certain ethnic minorities. Life experiences like coming from a low-income family, weak or absent prenatal care, family stress, low quality schools and lack of support prevents children from reaching their genetic poten...
