From the Paper
"The authors explain that verbal information is managed in a phonological loop, and visual information is held in a visuospatial sketchpad, each are information is retrieved as needed for processing by the central executive, where information is then manipulated to handle complex cognitive functions (McInnes et al, 2003). The authors insist that as it pertains to comprehension, working memory is correlated with both verbal and visual-spatial working memory and language comprehension in adults there is also some research that indicates verbal and visual-spatial working memory make unique contributions to different aspects of comprehension (McInnes et al, 2003). The researchers concede these correlations have not been made in children because the theory has not been investigated in terms of comprehension of discourse-level language functions (McInnes et al, 2003)."

Abstract
In many facets of life particularly in the justice system people are called upon to assess the likelihood of events and their complements. Probability theory assumes that belief ordering over events and their complements should mirror each other. This paper examines how, in court cases, it often doesn't happen exactly this way, particularly when people are asked to retrieve information about familiar and unfamiliar events. This is known as the familiarity bias, a common component of eyewitness recall. This paper examines familiarity bias and what it means for eyewitness recall.

Abstract
This paper addresses how financial managers manage an organization's need for cash investments. It explores the sources, advantages, disadvantages, and structuring of these investments. In particular, it identifies a need for Toyota to finance a massive recall for multiple models due to premature steering problems. Toyota needs approximately $925 million in order to take care of the full cost of this recall.
From the Paper
"In the wake of 2005's recalls, which outnumbered Toyota's sales in the U.S. by about 200,000 vehicles, the company installed some stricter quality mandates internally. Another company would have moved on, but Toyota reviewed its service plans, made a public apology and hired 8,000 new quality engineers. Still others believe that with a quality gap that is closing rapidly between the "Big Three" made products and Asian automakers, Toyota somehow manages to keep its image as the essence of quality."

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Financing Options
The Effectiveness of the Options Chosen: Financial Outlook
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Financing is essentially to helping a company's strategic development and growth, as is clearly shown by Toyota. However, with projects or changes in strategic goals that require financial obligations from a corporation, then many options that fit the general financial position of the firm has to be examined. Options available are endless, however Toyota has to use the right combination to gain the needed capital while simultaneously dealing with the debt/equity balancing. Similarly, the financing techniques above are also chosen to ensure the optimal cash flow balance; which is enough to help with the daily cash flow needs, while not being excessive that results in a loss of opportunity interest. The overall composition of the paper was to clearly outline the options available to Toyota as they seek funding for the full cost of the recall at $925 million. The structure and method of each type is significantly different, but can be advantageous to Toyota as they seek funding."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Clinton's impeachment trial and Davis's recall share the dubious honor of being considered two of the most embarrassing moments in America's political history. It discusses the two incidents and how they reflect the worst side of American democracy.
From the Paper
"That Davis is being recalled by an overly zealous Californian democracy says a great deal about how the contemporary political process is, to a great extent, working on behalf of the people. Having given a less than acceptable performance since put into office, Davis is being forcibly asked to step down and allow another political contender to clean up the mess he made. While this alternative is not unusual in and of itself, the complete circus that has transpired since announcement of the recall is what has turned the event into a who's who and made California a laughingstock. Clinton and his morally questionable behavior, on the other hand, was solely responsible for reflecting poorly upon one of the world's super powers."

Abstract
The research study reported in this paper examines the effects of serial position on the recall of specific words by subjects. Hypotheses were tested in relation to the effects of serial position of words on a list. Serial, primacy, and latency effects are measured.
From the Paper
"Human memory consists of a number of systems and subsystems (Tulving & Schacter, 1990). There are three broad categories of memory. Procedural memory involves changes in behavior, including skilled performance and response to stimuli. Semantic memory involves use of factual knowledge. Episodic memory is that "with which people remember their personal experiences" (Tulving & Schacter, 1990, p. 301). There is evidence for a fourth category of memory known as the perceptual representation system (PRS), or priming, which involves the improved identification of perceptual or sensory objects. Some properties of PRS include the following: "it is involved in the identification of perceptual objects, including words; it does not depend on the same brain centers as episodic and semantic memory; PRS develops at an early age and is still present late in life; it is primarily unconscious; it is not affected by drugs that affect other types of memory" (Tulving & Schacter, 1990, p. 301). As is true of other types of memory, however, priming improves with repetition and forgetfulness occurs over time. Evidence that priming is a type of memory can be seen in amnesiac patients, "who have severe impairment of other types of memory. Also observable is a dissociation between priming, which occurs to the same degree in three-year-old children and young adults, and recognition memory, which increases with age in children" (Tulving & Schacter, 1990, p. 301)."

From the Paper
"The short-term memory experiment to be described in this paper is an attempt to verify the Bieder-Szafran experiment, which is a variation of the Buschke experiment of 1962. Previous to the time of Buschke's experiment, short-term memory studies had been conducted according to the classical method of simply presenting a given amount of information to a subject, who was then asked to recall or recognize, either in oral or written manner, as much of the material presented as he could. G. A. Miller used this approach in the study in which he determined the memory span for humans to be seven, plus or minus two. Miller also stated that the accuracy and amount of recall depended not on the information content of the material, but instead on the number of items presented. This was in 1956."

Abstract
This paper discusses the California recall of the Gray Davis election, outlining the major events that took place during the recall election. This paper illustrates why the public of California ousted Gray Davis and how he had betrayed their trust. This paper also highlights the factors that led the famous movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to victory.
From the Paper
"An election held recently to recall California?s former governor Gray Davis indeed proved to be a landmark event in the history of the United States of America. Not only was the former governor dismissed from his office but he was ousted by the legendary movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger. ?A recall has been part of California?s political system since 1911. It provides a mechanism for the public to attempt to remove elected public officials from office before the end of their term of office? (FAQs About Recalls). According to Kevin Shelly, administrator of the recall, ?Election officials from the state's 58 counties reported more than 1.3 million valid signatures, more than the 897,158 needed to trigger the first recall of a governor in California history? (John Mercurio, California Recall Bid Succeed)."

From the Paper
"Abstract
The experimental research design consisted of 24 male and female adults aged 40-49 being randomly assigned to control and experimental groups to determine whether prior relevant knowledge assisted recall. The control subjects were in the imprecise elaboration condition, while the experimental subjects were in the precise elaboration, which represented prior relevant knowledge. Both groups read a target passage and were asked to answer items on the data sheets. The results indicated no significant difference between the control and experimental groups for recall. Future research is suggested relative to the categorization of inputs and possible influences, rehearsal of inputs, and noise."

"How the Coca-Cola Company Mishandled the European Crisis
Introduction
Sometime during the weekend of June 11 through 13, 1999, students at St. Mary's School in Antwerp Belgium drank from cans of Coca-Cola and soon began feeling nauseous and vomitous. Of the 280 students at the school, 39 became sick and 15 were hospitalized overnight (Seward, 1999, D1). Thus began a corporate nightmare in which the Atlanta-based Coca-Cola company performed a textbook example of how not to handle a crisis that threatened the reputation of the best-known brand name in the world.
The Belgian authorities immediately placed a ban on all Coca Cola products from the company's Dunkirk, France, bottling plant. The resulting media coverage created a recall scare throughout the rest of Europe and into the Middle East, and it took..."

From the Paper
"Participants will randomly be assigned to either the experimental group or the control group to determine whether a cooperative task, that allows for participants to recategorize, has an effect on the type of traits recalled (positive vs. negative). Participants will further be assigned to separate groups based on their race (Caucasian or African-American). Participants in the experimental condition will randomly be assigned to one of four conditions in which they will be asked to view a photograph of a male and then listen to a tape recorded message containing a list of ten positive and ten negative traits. The participants will then be asked to recall and record as many traits as possible from the recorded message. It is predicted that, compared to the out-group, more positive traits will be recalled when a participant views a photograph of an in-group member. Also, compared to the in-group, more negative traits will be recalled when a participant views a photograph of an out-group member. These results would suggest that a cooperative task that gives participants the chance to recategorize can effectively decrease levels of in-group favoritism and out-group bias. "

From the Paper
" Motion picture special effects have been used since the beginning of the medium, with the early experiments of Georges M?li?s in France showing ways in which the new medium could be utilized to create images of things that seem to be happening but that in fact never happened at all. Special effects in recent years have taken a quantum leap forward with the advent of computer techniques to improve the use of established techniques of image processing and the use of traveling mattes and to initiate entirely new possibilities for such new effects as morphing and computer animation. Digital processing is clearly the wave of the future, and the wonders it has wrought already in films like Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, and True Lies are only the beginning. Computer animation techniques are being improved all the time, and the goal for many seems to be creating a film.."

Abstract
An examination and comparison of the technological advances and special effects which have enabled directors to retell stories with much more emphasis on the relationship between visuals and characters. The paper looks at how it is also evident that these advances have helped in how well visuals and effects play a part in the overall telling of the story and plot development - focusing on the four science fiction movies above.
From the Paper
"In the film Blade Runner, director Ridley Scott relied on scenery and character to lend to the imagery of the film, rather than depend heavily on special effects as we have seen more recently in films like The Fifth Element and The Matrix. In Blade Runner, we follow the story of Deckard who must track down five replicants who have hijacked a ship in order to find their roots and discover their maker back on earth.
The scenery within the story plays a heavy part in relaying the emotions of the replicants as the plot takes us through what is comparable to a post-apocalypse city where replicants have no knowledge of their ancestors or history."
