Too often, when we learn about memory development, we forget that this has a direct relationship to effectively learning. Knowledge is essentially a memory and how well we process information affects our performance at many levels. For this paper, you will be explaining some of the cognitive-based ideologies that explain how memory development works, how it is affected by outside variables, and strategies for improving one’s own information processing effectively. You will demonstrate an understanding of psychological research methods and skeptical inquiry by correctly utilizing support resources within your writing.

Discuss the following in your paper:

What is memory development and how does it relate to acquiring new knowledge?
Why is it important to successfully move information from working (short-term) memory to long-term memory (effective information processing)?
What strategies can be utilized to move knowledge from working memory to long-term memory more effectively? (List a minimum of three strategies.)
How much does attention and perception play a role in successful development of schema?
How do the types of memories (knowledge) affect how we effectively process information?
Consider the following:
Semantic memories
Episodic memories
Autobiographical memories
How does false memory development affect how we learn effectively? Is anyone immune?

Gale shapley algorithm | Computer Science

Implement Gale-Shapley Algorithm for computing Stable Marriage Assignment in any language, such as Python, Java, C++ or MATLAB, using the approach and data structures described in the first two Chapters of the Kleinberg and Tardos text. The input file should include number of subjects, n, preference list for men and women one line for each. n m1: w11, w12, …, w1n … … mn: wn1, wn2, …, wnn w1: m11, m12, …, m1n … … wn: mn1, mn2, …, mnn a) Write a function to create preference lists for men and women. Function should take number of men (women), say n, create preferences and output them. b) Write the output, explicitly checking to see that it is a stable match (It requires a separate function to check). Turn in sample inputs and corresponding outputs in separate files. c) Run the algorithm on several instances of the problem for n = 10 with different input files and plot the variation in the running time. d) Run the algorithm on several instances of the problem for n = 10 with the same input file and plot the variation in the running time. e) Run the algorithm on problem instances with n = 10, 15, 20, 50, 100, and plot the average running time as a function of the problem input size (n). f) Run the algorithm on several instances of the problem for n = 10 with the same input file, let a different man start proposing and output the matches.
