“Advertising, consumers, research and marketing are vivid examples of public relations. Experts will develop better strategies to do some research and experiments to investigate behaviors of customers to know the inner cause of those behaviors.

In Keeping It Real in Experimental Research–Understanding When, Where, and How to Enhance Realism and Measure Consumer Behavior, researchers want to make an experiment to find out two causes to make consumer research reliable and realistic (MORALES).

Customers have different default positions when they are shopping, they will have different default values of same products. When experts want to design experiments to make survey and have broader knowing of consumers’ needs, they need to use suitable experimental methods to make it more reliable. (Carmon)

Realistic experimental designs and measuring actual behavior is significant for consumer research. They use qualitative research method to investigate the result. In this experiment, the experts choose reliable independent variables and dependent variables to show the different goals of consumers. In experimental process, they think they need to make the experiment more realistic to make sure the behaviors of consumers are close to reality. Though this way, researchers can gather more realistic data and deduct more real consumer behaviors and thinking.

They will develop a new theory and test the legitimacy of a theory in this experiment. They can control experiment results by regulating attention, switching rule and so on. (Pocheptsova) they will gather data by observing changes in the experiment. They read a lot of documents to know how to process the experiment. They can measure attention by tracking eye movement (Pieters). They also know that some movements may influence their experiment, like nonconscious social mimicry (Tanner).

In research, researchers can choose different degrees of using realism and behavioral dimensions. Those strategies are not required in behavioral experiments but they can help a lot by making people have more vivid behaviors.

In conclusion, they will use artificial and stylized conditions to measure the reaction of consumers. Consumers or participants can have more measurable and controllable and real reaction to help researchers summarized more accurate results and provide deeper understanding of consumer behavior.”

The strong dualism position of Descartes suggests that the mind is fully separate from the brain, and that, therefore, there may be no detectable manifestation of representations in the brain. What some note as manifestations are called traces, and their existence has been argued over time. Brain scans suggest that nothing we remember can be physically pinpointed in the brain and that there is no geometrical location for the meaning of the word "baby," nor is there a pinpoint location for the image of a baseball. Yet, fMRI scans note changes in the brain when an individual is memorizing new words. However, the changes are gross, smeared images with no pinpointing, relative to the scale of neurons or small groups of them. In this assignment, you will make a statement on whether the mind and brain are fully separate or whether they are one entity. Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment: This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. Write an essay (2,000-2,500 words) in which you make a statement and provide support for whether the mind and brain are fully separate or whether they are one entity. Compare differing conceptualizations of the mind and how the mind is studied. Address the influence of internal and environmental conditions on what is recalled from certain kinds of memory/representations (e.g., things remembered rote, such as one's phone number vs. interpreted things like a mother's affect last time she was seen). Determine the necessity for a one-to-one correspondence between a specific representation in the mind and a physico-chemical condition in some specific neurons/synapses in the associated brain. Analyze fundamental differences between representations from: (a) Visual stimuli vs. those from speech stimuli; (b) Experienced stimuli (instantiated; things that happened externally, the last pizza you ate) vs. imagined stimuli (uninstantiated; anticipating-imagining something for dinner that you've never had before).

Read the article entitled “Deadly Violence in the Heartland” by Ralph A. Weisheit and L. Edward Wells of Indiana State University. The article can be found by pasting the following link into your browser:(http://www.pineforge.com/ballantinestudy/articles/Chapter14_Article03.pdf) After reading the article, support or argue against the main points of the article using either the conflict perspective or the structural-functional perspective. The report should be at least 500 words.

In two to four double-spaced pages (excluding title and reference page), demonstrate your understanding of literary themes, using a short story from the readings in week one or two:  

• Describe what the theme of the short story is, using Chapter 6 of the text as a reference.
• Identify at least two of the literary elements in the short story that contribute to the theme (e.g., plot, point of view, tone, setting, character, symbolism, etc.), providing an example of each element.
• Explain how the selected literary elements affect the narrative theme

Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that focuses on how the literary elements contribute to the larger narrative theme. All sources must be properly cited

Again, this paper needs to be written in APA format.
