maksim [4K]4 years ago

<span>Psychologists perform twin studies in order to determine the extent to which genetics influence intelligence levels. Since identical twins share 100% of their genetics, it follows that their intelligence levels should be quite similar given that intelligence is genetically determined. However, when identical twins are found to have varying intelligence levels, it indicates that external factors (or nurture) play a role in intelligence. Therefore, p</span>sychologists perform twin studies in order to determine the extent to which genetics and non-genetic factors determine intelligence levels.

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Retroactive interference

Explanation:

In psychology, there are some processes that can interfere in our long term memory. One of them is the retroactive interference.

Retroactive interference refers to when you have some difficulties remembering a task you learned before because you now learned a new task. In other words, this new learning interferes with your old memories and the old memories are disrupted.  

In this example, Barbara has memorized her new phone number, <u>she has learned something new but this new learning is interfering with her old memories (her old phone number). </u>Therefore this would be an example of retroactive interference.

BRAINLEST AND POINTS
Dominik [7]

JAMESTOWN is justifiably called "the first permanent English settlement" in the New World—a hard-won designation. As historian Alan Taylor recounts, of the first 104 colonists who landed in April 1607, only thirty-eight survived the winter. Of the 10,000 who left England for Jamestown in its first fifteen years, only twenty percent were still alive, and still in Jamestown, in 1622. The first months of the colony were chronicled by John Smith, Edward Wingfield, and in this selection by George Percy, who twice served as the colony's governor. After writing several accounts to justify his actions as governor, Percy left Jamestown for good in 1612. (John Smith, who also felt compelled to defend his leadership, had left for good in 1609.)

JAMESTOWN, 1609-1610. Known as the "starving time," the winter of 1609-1610 brought such "a world of miseries" to the settlers that hunger became the force governing the colonists. They ate their horses, then rats, then shoe leather. Some were driven to murder and digging up corpses. Others stashed food as they planned a secret return to England. Food was begged from the Indians or, if not forthcoming, stolen. The resulting cycle of attacks and counterattacks brought more misery and death. Who was to blame? John Smith? As the colony's previous governor he had compelled the men to work and was soon deposed and sent back to England, later justifying his dictatorial policies in repetitive histories and accounts. Or George Percy? Governor of the colony during the "starving time," he wrote this "true relation" partly as his defense against accusations of failed leadership. That Jamestown wasn't abandoned for good in June 1610 is due to the chance meeting on the James River of the ship carrying the sixty surviving colonists back to England, and the ship bringing provisions and 300 new colonists from England. But it was still many years before Jamestown was anything but "a world of miseries."

JAMESTOWN. Hampered by small royal coffers and by war with Spain and Ireland, England did not pursue an Atlantic coast colony for two decades after the loss of the 1587 Roanoke colony. Then in 1607 a new group of investors (the Virginia Company of London) received a charter from the new king (James I) to make a new attempt at a Virginia colony (Jamestown). This time the venture succeeded, but only after years of financial and human loss. This undated set of instructions was written by a Company member, perhaps Richard Hakluyt (hak-loot), to direct the leaders in their initial arrival, placement, and building of the colony. It also provides strict guidelines for dealing with the Powhatan Indians, who had massacred the Spanish settlers in a nearby settlement, Ajacan, thirty-five years earlier.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:If an employee leaves because his or her job has become boring and less meaningful, this reflects an INDIVIDUAL factor.

Explanation:

Individual factors refer to the person's own feelings, attitudes, preferences , morals and other personal factors that they use towards a particular situation.

It mostly has nothing to do with external factors but usually is defined by internal factors that each person has regarding a situation.

For example a person who feels bored and find less meaning in their jobs is affected by individual factors which may be related to the fact that the person no longer find the job challenging enough for them or up to their level of expectations at that moment in time. This is all based on the attitude towards their job which is an individual factor.
