I’m working on a Psychology exercise and need support.

As we move into Week 2 and begin to dig deeper into cognition and learning, we see there are many important topics to discuss this week and in the weeks to follow! An intriguing topic that affects us all is that of memory. Working memory, which is often conflated with short-term memory (STM) is the topic of our forum this week. Our course materials inform us of the limited capacity of the working memory and the need to essentially flip the data processed in immediately, transferring it into a meaningful information we can use to address the issues presented.

Let’s take a moment to review a great Ted Talks video with speaker Peter Doolittle (2013), who discusses the concept of working memory and how it influences our day to day activities.

Classmate #1:

Hello Class,

I found the lesson this week and the tests to be really interesting. Here were my results:

1. Digit Span Memory Test – On this test, I tended to get 6 to 7 numbers correct, but usually felt that I was guessing on a few numbers. I also had a much easier time remembering when it was on “slow” and had incredible difficulty in “reverse” mode. In these cases, I could only remember 3-4 digits accurately.
2. Spatial Memory Test – On this test, I had difficulty remembering more than 3 or 4 in each test. I tried to make a mental picture to help, but I had trouble remembering the order when I was focused on the shape the pictures made.
3. Butterfly Memories Test – On this test, I consistently was able to remember either 7 or 8 butterfly landing circles. I found this test to be the easiest.
4. YouTube Working Memory Test – On this test, I remembered all except the last one, but did not feel confident in my answers. I was actually surprised when they were correct.

I felt the most confident about the “Butterfly Memories” test. I felt it was easiest because there were not numbers involved, and I found that having the visuals be of different colors to be helpful. I also believe that I might have a subconscious belief that I am not good with numbers. I find myself mentally “checking out” when people ask me to remember a phone number or other numbers. I think I am assuming I won’t be able to remember them, so I don’t believe I give it a full attempt. When I was following along with the TED Talk’s working memory test of remembering the objects he listed, I remembered each one with no problem. I used the memory trick of visualizing the objects alone, and then creating a mental picture that connects them.

After reading the course materials and taking the tests, I feel that my working memory is something that definitely something that needs to be improved upon. I believe that attention is my biggest issue. I get distracted easily, and I must give everything my full attention, or my mind wanders. I enjoyed the article “Attention” from our required reading this week because it really broke down the issues that can affect our attention, which can of course affect our memory. I think it would help me to practice selective attention and truly focus fully on each task. Although I gave my full effort and focus to the tests today, I feel that in my real life I often try to divide my attention or multitask. I notice when I truly concentrate on remembering things, it is much easier to do so, especially when I use methods to try to help with this process. For example, I know that to fully understand something I am reading, I need to write down the key points, or say them out loud. If I fail to do this, I will almost certainly not remember something. Using strategies to enhance my memory such as mnemonic devices and visualizing concepts are extremely helpful. My biggest takeaway from this lesson is the value of enhancing working memory, and how much our attention affects what we are able to take in and remember.

Classmate #2:

In the first working memory test I was only able to remember up to seven numbers consistently. I initially started off trying to complete eight as the test is preset to and failed multiple times until I figured out you could lower the total. After a little bit of practice, I was able to work up to remember seven numbers but no more. For the butterfly memories working memory test I was able to remember a series of eleven colors in a row. This was the max number I could remember on a consistent basis and it also took me several tries to work my way up to this amount. Finally, in the YouTube working memory test I was only able to remember up to the third set of numbers correctly before I was completely lost. I even attempted to pause after each set of numbers and was still unable to accurately record them.

I do not think that my working memory will have performed significantly higher than others and as a matter of fact, I fear that it may have performed much lower. There may be several reasons for this: I completed the tests late in the evening after having a complete day of running, work, caring for children, etc. and I may have been tired. Another reason may be that my working memory is not that strong because I do not exercise it that often in the context of something like these tests. I also think that my brain is preoccupied with several things and this causes me to lose focus which resulted in poor working memory. My biggest take-away from these exercises is that it appears our working memory can be impacted by many different things such as fatigue and stress. Without having focus, it is very challenging to utilize working memory to its full capacity.

Classmate #3:

I completed the working memory tests and I found them to be really similar. They were both activities that challenged your ability to memorize a sequence. I was able to memorize all of the numbers on the memory loss test. Although I was a little confused on how to start the test at first, once I figured it out, I was able to accomplish the task. It reminded of a test I took in middle school that I was given by some sort a professional where I was able to memorize about 30 numbers. I surely couldn’t do that today, but I still remember it well. As for the brain curls test, I scored like the memory loss test but did not score as well because of the volume on my daughters iPad was distracting me and caused me to lose count on one of the colors. I would say my working memory capacity was not significantly greater on one test over the other simply because of how close the results were and factoring the distraction. The course material explained this when it discussed attention. I was distracted and my consciousness was pulled away from my computer and onto my daughters’ activity. My greatest take away from this activity is that short-term memory is defined as small amounts of information that is stored for a short period of time. It can be from new information or from a memory that has been previously stored. Working memory is somewhat alike short-term memory but different because working memory allows us to complete tasks associated with the working memory like memorizing a number with helping us solve a mathematical problem during a meeting. Another example is creating a running tally at a grocery store. Those who have a high working memory capacity are able to store higher items in their short-term memory for their working capacity.

I’m working on a Psychology question and need guidance to help me study.

Create an imaginary client you are going to treat for either OCD or specific phobia. Describe their symptoms. Be as specific as possible. Pretend you’re going to treat the client you described above. Create a fear hierarchy (look in your textbook for a description of this treatment technique). Try to come up with a 5 step progression that you would work through with your client. The first step would be the least feared association with the anxiety provoking stimulus (typically just thinking about the stimulus) and the last step will be the most feared association with the anxiety provoking stimulus (like a person with a snake phobia having a snake slither on their lap). In your hierarchy are you using en vivo desensitization covert desensitization, or both? In your hierarchy are you using modeling or having the client experience the stimulus? What role would relaxation training play in your treatment?

I’m studying for my Business class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Scenario: You are a salesperson, customer service agent, or small business owner. You have received an email from a customer who is very unhappy with a recent interaction with someone from your organization and is threatening to take their business to your competitor.

First, share a few details with your peers about what occurred. Then, draft an email response that will validate their concern, maintain company integrity, and retain their business. Use the tips below to craft an effective response:

• Before you respond, put yourself in the customer’s place to fully understand their complaint or concern
• Use a clear, descriptive Subject line
• Use a Salutation suitable for business communication
• Say “Thank you” for their feedback at the start of the email
• Apologize (even if you don’t agree or if it was the customer’s fault)
• Explain what happened truthfully and politely
• Tell the customer what you will do to help
• Keep your message succinct, brief, and on topic
• Use a Closing suitable for business communication

Finally, keep in mind that this task involves important leadership values that constitute Executive Presence: respect for others, the ability to diffuse anger and focus on positive outcomes, showing empathy for another, and the willingness to be candid about an error or poor performance. These values lead to the ability to build trust — the foundation of leadership.

Share with us your strategy for this email and explain how your email will retain them as a customer, applying course materials and/or other resources to further the discussion.

Part A – Scenario – My company is into real estate and construction. We have our own Facility Management (FM) division to cater the maintenance requirements of our properties. Most of our clients are high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) who either own or lease properties in our development.

This particular individual (Let’s call him Mr. James) had a problem of water-dripping from the roof of his leased expensive apartment. He had contacted our 24X7 FM help-line and lodged his complaint. To brief the character of this individual, he was highly arrogant, rude and egotistical. It was understood that the behaviour was a result of his richness. We had difficulties in handling his complaints before as he was equally stubborn and would threaten to take us to courts even for small issues.

To complicate the scenario, our FM 24X7 tele-representative missed to log in the complaint of Mr. James as there was an issue of electrical faults and fire-alarm activation in the buildings at the same time and he was flooded with complaints from different quarters at the same time.

Mr. James having waited for a day and not seeing any action from the FM department sent a harsh mail addressed to the FM Manager. He was insisting that the concerned tele-employee be terminated for negligence and threatened to take the issue to courts as usual. Also, he was threatening to spread the word about our “poor” service and move out of our property and also dissuade others from owning or leasing our properties. This was a serious issue and threatened our reputation in the competitive market.

The FM Manager assigned the task of handling this tough customer to me as I had the reputation of handling tricky situations in a professional manner.

Draft Email Response

Subject: Maintenance Service Shortfall

Dear Mr. James,

Thank you for your email.

Firstly we would like to apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment that you experienced in dealing with our tele-representative recently and we assure you that we are anxious to retain you as a satisfied customer.

Whist our customer satisfaction team is reviewing the information you sent us and conducting a full investigation to resolve this matter fairly, we would like to update you based on our preliminary inquiry.

It is understood that the tele-representative was flooded with other pressing complaints and inadvertently overlooked your case. At the conclusion of our detailed investigation, we will contact you about our findings and our actions to ensure avoidance of such incidents in future.

We assure you that your complaint and feedback will give the opportunity to remedy any problem that may exist and help to improve our service further.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies and we look forward to serve you.

Should you require any further assistance, you are welcome to contact our FM Manager, Mr. Philip Evans at 8009999.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to assist you.

Sincerely,

Stacey Hard

Customer Satisfaction Leader

ABC FM Division

Part B – Scenario: Like in every big international company from time to time some of the invoices are not paid on time or never posted. This is what happened this time. I received mail where one of our suppliers complains that his cooperation with our company from the beginning was not going smooth, customer support was bad, and invoices were not paid on time. At the same time our company expected availability from our customers, almost all the time, fast answers on the queries and emails. In this email I could see that the supplier was very angry and was considering claims for late payments or even stopping the cooperation.

Before answering this email, I first check all information regarding invoices payment for this supplier and I had to agree with customer not always everything was paid on time. At the same time, I knew I could not solve this issue alone because not only one team was involved but I could not wait with answering.

In the email I first thanked her for email with feedback and info about this situation, I apologized, that I was not aware of this situation because we had many suppliers and that I understand her anger. Explained also that it is important for both of parties to keep cooperation and that I will further explain this situation to my manager and keep client informed about the next steps.

After sending the mail to the supplier I send a mail to my manager and explain this situation and attaching all information I found in the system. Later that day I had short meeting with the manager planning next steps not only to solve this case but also how to avoid happening this in the future. During the next weeks the whole invoicing process was checked, where was any risk and looked for improvements.

At the end of the day the whole process gets better and less invoices were not paid on time. Of course, there are always people involved in this process and from time to time everyone makes mistakes. Because of the all improvements the cooperation with suppliers gets better.

It this example I received mail and I could: consider your purpose and your audience before you begin writing and let these guides both what you say and how you say it (1).
