Answer one of the following, please:

• Memory Processing and Improvement: Roger is at a wedding reception where he has been introduced to over 50 guests whom he has never met. Roger would like to remember as many names as possible. Analyze what is happening in terms of the three stages of the information processing model of memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Then, identify at least one strategy Roger might use to improve his ability to remember the names.
• The Visitor from Chillaxia- Imagine an alien from the planet Chillaxia has just landed (and somehow speaks English). The alien (known as a Chillaxian) does not understand what stress is and claims to have never experienced it. How would you explain to the Chillaxian what stress is? Since the alien does not experience stress, how might the Chillaxian's biological makeup differ from that of humans? To explain stress to this alien, 1) define stress, 2) provide examples of at least two stressors, and 3) suggest at least one biological component (i.e., neurological structures, neurotransmitters, or hormones) that the Chillaxians must lack to have never experienced stress itself.
• Theories of Emotion: Compare and contrast the James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, and the Two-Factor theories of emotion, indicating how each of these theories are similar and how they differ. Then, indicate whether one of the theories more or less accurately encompasses the experience of human emotion.
