Write at least 100 words describing the results, how you learn best, and how you will modify your study techniques to fit your learning style.

Our textbook begins by highlighting the SQ4R Method, one technique behind the psychology of studying. This technique can help you read and learn the material intextbooks more effectively. It alsohelpsyouwhen taking tests! We all learn differently, though. It is very important to know how you learn best. If you use strategies that work best with your learning style, you will decrease the time you spendand increase the results!1.

Barbara Soloman, Coordinator of Advising, First Year College, North Carolina State University explains:Active Learners: tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it like discussingor explaining it to others. They enjoy group work.Reflective Learners: prefer to think about it quietly first. They prefer to work alone.Sensing Learners: tend to like learning facts. They are patient with details and good at memorizing things. They are practical and careful.Intuitive Learners: prefer discovering possibilities and relationships. They are good at grasping new concepts and are comfortable with abstractions and mathematical formulations. They are innovative and creative.Visual Learners:remember best what they see–pictures, diagrams, flow charts, time lines, films, and demonstrations.Verbal Learners:get more out of words–written and spoken explanations. Everyone learns more when information is presented both visually and verbally.Sequential Learners:tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one. They follow logical steps when finding solutions.Global Learners:Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly “getting it.” They may be able to solve complex problems quickly or put things together in novel ways once they have grasped the big picture, but they may have difficulty explaining how they did it.**Follow this link to learn the most effective strategies of how to learn based on your learning style self-assessment: Click here>>Learning Style Strategies

How do texting, handheld phones, and hands-free phones compare with each other in their effects on driving?

Although some states and cities have passed laws to ban texting and using handheld phones while driving, there is no current law to ban all cell phone use while driving. However, according to the National Safety Council (2009), 28 percent of all crashes—1.6 million per year—are caused by cell phone use and texting by drivers. The mission of a new national nonprofit organization called FocusDriven, patterned after Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is to make phone use while driving as illegal and socially unacceptable as drunk driving. US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood supports FocusDriven and its efforts.According to thePittsburgh Post-Gazette, LaHood said that this movement would become “an army of people traveling the countryside” to push for bans on cell-phone use and tough enforcement (Schmitz, 2010). As a political advocate interested in this issue, you will be writing a policy proposal that utilizes the current research to propose a solution to the issue and submitting it inModule 5.Annotated Bibliography: Effect of Cell Phone UseBefore you can write this proposal research, you will need to conduct initial research on the science behind this initiative. For this assignment, use the Argosy University online library resources to locate research reports from peer-reviewed journals that discuss the effects of cell phone use on vision, attention, perception, or memory. In selecting at least five research reports from peer-reviewed journals relevant to the topic, make sure they address one or more of the following issues:How do texting, handheld phones, and hands-free phones compare with each other in their effects on driving?How do other, traditional distractions compare to cell phone use in their effects on driving (such as eating, attending to children, talking to passengers, listening to music/news, etc.)?Can cell phone use while driving be compared with drunk driving? Why or why not?What other variables (such as age) can affect driving while using a cell phone?Based on your reading of the five articles, create an annotated bibliography for each of the five sources. Each annotation should consist of the APA reference entry followed by a paragraph-long summary of the articles. In your summary, provide answers for the questions below. For the last question, think about how the research results could be generalized to fit other environments or not be generalized.Summarize the main ideas in the reference. What were they investigating?How were the studies conducted? What was the sample size? Is it appropriate?Were the studies conducted in the real world or was a simulated environment used?How might these methodological considerations affect the research findings and the conclusions drawn from them?

My focus will be as it relates to the military. This disorder is very important and to me because I am a combat marine with PTSD and the veterans that I will be working with through my non-profit suffer from the same disorder. I have referenced some statistics. One statistic that is not mentioned that is just arisen is a very saddening one, is the new dilemma of suicide on the battlefield. Research is showing that recently our military is losing more troops to suicide on the battlefield then they are in actual battles firefights.The Ten questions for my health profession are:1. What are the accepted diagnostic criteria for PTSD?2. What would an evidence-based criteria set for diagnosis of PTSD include?3. What constitutes a stressor?4. How should stressful events be diagnosed and documented?5. How can and should a patient document a stressful event?6. What are the components of an evidence-based diagnosis of PTSD?7. What would diagnostic criteria be, based on best evidence, either based on or apart from official standards?8. What constitutes optimal evaluation of a patient for PTSD?9. What neuropsychological evaluation or other testing should be included in an optimal evaluation of a patient for PTSD?10. What are useful biomarkers?PTSD and the MilitaryIf you are in the military, you may have seen combat. You may have been on missions that exposed you to horrible and life-threatening experiences. You may have been shot at, seen a buddy shot, or seen death. These are types of events that can lead to PTSD.Experts think PTSD occurs:In about 11-20% of Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars (Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom), or in 11-20 Veterans out of 100.In as many as 10% of Gulf War (Desert Storm) Veterans, or in 10 Veterans out of 100.In about 30% of Vietnam Veterans, or about 30 out of 100 Vietnam Veterans.Other factors in a combat situation can add more stress to an already stressful situation. This may contribute to PTSD and other mental health problems. These factors include what you do in the war, the politics around the war, where it’s fought, and the type of enemy you face.Another cause of PTSD in the military can be military sexual trauma (MST). This is any sexual harassment or sexual assault that occurs while you are in the military. MST can happen to both men and women and can occur during peacetime, training, or war.Among Veterans using VA health care, about:23 out of 100 women (23%) reported sexual assault when in the military.55 out of 100 women (55%) and 38 out of 100 men (38%) have experienced sexual harassment when in the military.Even though military sexual trauma is far more common in women Veterans, over half of all Veterans with military sexual trauma are men. This is because there are many more male Veterans than there are females.SourcesKessler, R.C., Sonnega, A., Bromet, E. Hughes, M., & Nelson, C.B. (1995).
