Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis of film techniques used in the scene, "Looking for Arbogast" in the Alfred Hitchcock film, "Psycho".

From the Paper
"In the scene "Looking for Arbogast", Hitchcock capitalizes on the shock value of the previous scene, "Death and the Detective", where we see Mother murder Arbogast. In this scene we see Lila, played by Vera Miles, and Sam Loomis, played by John Gavin. The lighting in the hardware store is very dim, creating many shadow effects. We see Lila back lit twice, which is reminiscent of the first time we see Mother, providing a nice contrast between the..."

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief examination of the life and accomplishments of Alfred North Whitehead. The paper then goes on to describe the three elements, according to Whitehead, that play a vital role in the intellectual and ethical evolution of humanity. The paper also defines Whitehead's theory of noble discontent and its three internal related aspects. Each of Whitehead's three essential elements to humanity's evolution are then discussed and analyzed in detail.

From the Paper
"According to the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead there are three terms that play a vital role in the intellectual and ethical evolution of humanity. Whitehead argues that without these three elements the evolutionary process would not occur. The term "noble discontent" from Alfred North Whitehead's readings Adventure of Ideas is structured by, beauty, intelligence and duty. This paper will argue that Whitehead's notion of "noble discontent" is a key ingredient in the intellectual and ethical development of human society since it has driven man to a higher rational thinker."

Abstract
This brief one page paper discusses two significant contributions of Alfred Adler and states why they were important.

From the Paper
"Alfred Adler made several significant contributions to the field of psychology in general, and to psychotherapy in particular. These included recognizing the importance of birth order in personality formation, the impact of both neglect and pampering on the development of a child, the presence of a 'self-perfecting drive' within humans, the idea of treating the whole person and his notions about inferiority and superiority. (Mosak) Two of the most significant of these contributions were his formulations about birth order and his idea of inferiority..."

Abstract
This paper traces the origins of intelligence testing from the days of French psychologist Alfred Binet to Terman's uses of intelligence testing to label people as inferior or superior to others. Military uses of intelligence testing under Carl C. Brigham are addressed as are the development and uses of the Stanford-Binet Scale while attending to various assumptions inherent in such a pervasive test.

From the Paper
"In 1917, when America entered World War I, the U.S. Army was faced with the task of dividing huge numbers of draftees into various Army categories. In order to solve this problem, the Army put together a committee of seven leading psychologists to devise a massive application of standardized intelligence tests. One of the seven selected psychologists, Lewis Terman, had a pupil named Arthur Otis, who had already begun creating an intelligence test when the Army decided it needed one. Needless to say, the committee adopted the material Otis had prepared and a few weeks later there was a trial run with four thousand men."

Abstract
Explains the difference between intelligence of humans and animals and what makes humans unique. Supplies definitions from various scholars like Howard Gardner and Alfred Binet. Shows the limitations of tests which try to measure intelligence.

From the Paper
"The nature of intelligence came under intense scholastic scrutiny around the turn of the twentieth century. As the discipline of psychology flourished, notable pioneers like Alfred Binet attempted to quantify and qualify the nature of human intelligence. Human beings have always been aware of the differences between homo sapiens and the rest of the animal kingdom, but until recently have been unable to go beyond the domains of philosophy or religion to explain them. One of the most noticeable traits that distinguish the human from the animal is the nebulous notion of intelligence. But what is intelligence? This question has weighed on thinking minds since the dawn of civilization. With the advent of the scientific method and its application to the field of psychology, intelligence tests enabled scientists and laypeople to analyze intelligence with numbers, statistics, and hard facts. But these intelligence tests have obvious limitations and drawbacks. Not only are they naive and superficial, they fail to take into account the awesome diversity of human experience. Binet did not take into account the cultural factors that inform intelligence."

Abstract
This paper addresses the ideas of gifted education and how it came about, starting with Alfred Binet and Lewis Terman's IQ test theories. Giftedness is defined in terms of both academic qualities and affective/social needs. Then, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and Benjamin Bloom's revised taxonomy are defined as ways of structuring questioning and learning in the classroom. Finally, several general teaching strategies are listed and described as ways for teachers to address the needs of the gifted.

From the Paper
"In any subject area, teachers can differentiate for gifted students through the use of centers. In addition to whole-class instruction for topics most students are unfamiliar with, centers provide independent activities that each student can pursue at his or her own pace. Teachers differentiated the centers with books of various levels, different prompts to reading materials, modified assessments, multiple levels of questioning, and more or less time at individual centers (Johnsen, 2003)."

Abstract
The work of Carl Rogers has contributed in substantial ways to the development of psychotherapy. There exists an extraordinarily extensive amount of writing about the value of his research, his clinical work, his methods, his style, and his profound impact on therapy. This paper poses the question, ?Could interpretation of projective testing aid the process of reflection and clarification of communication between client and therapist during client centered (Rogerian) therapy??. The paper provides a critical analysis of Rogers?s work and into ?projective testing? itself. There are many forms of projective testing and diverse opinions with reference to projective testing. This paper critiques and analyzes several of them, using existing research in order to best formulate an informed answer for the central question being posed.

From the Paper
"Sir Francis Galton is generally given credit for devising the first projective test, which the British explorer and intellectual researcher developed in 1879. His test consisted of a word-association challenge; subjects were given a set of words and asked to produce a "first response" to each word. Following Galton's work, Carl Jung - a Swiss psychiatrist and renowned prot?g? of Freud - utilized a word-association test in combination with blood pressure measuring devices to detect what he called ?complexes.? Those complexes were "constellations of feelings and thoughts organized around an emotionally charged issue" (Lilienfeld). And Jung believed that a "delayed or physiologically pronounced response to a word" can indicate the existence of a complex."
