Assignment 2: Attentional Blink
There are many stimuli in your environment of which you are not aware. You use attention to filter out unimportant stimuli and focus on relevant stimuli. However, there are circumstances under which you cannot perceive stimuli, regardless of how hard you “pay attention.” One situation is when visual stimuli are presented in quick succession. If the interval between the two stimuli is short enough, you do not perceive the second stimulus. This lapse in attention is known as attentional blink. In this assignment, you will experience the attentional blink for yourself and will also read about practical implications of the phenomenon.

Negative Communication
Elaine Bridgewater, the former professional golfer you hired to oversee your golf equipment company’s relationship with retailers, knows the business inside and out. As a former touring pro, she has unmatched credibility. She also has seemingly boundless energy, solid technical knowledge, and an engaging personal style. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been quite as attentive as she needs to be when it comes to communicating with retailers. You’ve been getting complaints about voice mail message gone unanswered for days, confusing emails that require two of three rounds of clarification, and reports that are haphazardly thrown together. As valuable as Bridgewater’s other skills are, she’s going to cost the company sales if this goes on much longer. The retail channel is vital to your company’s survival, and she’s the employee most involved in this channel.
Your Task: Draft a brief (one Page maximum) informal performance appraisal and improvement plan (Memo) for Bridgewater. Be sure to compliment her on the areas in which she excels but don’t shy away from highlighting the areas in which she needs to improve, too: punctual response to customer messages; clear writing; and careful revision, production, and proofreading. Use what you’ve learned in this course so far to supply any additional advice about the importance of these skills. Write an appraisal and improvement plan.
Apply the three step writing process. Make sure you research on giving negative performance reviews. If you don’t think this something you comfortable doing please let me know

Reference (DO NOT ANSWER, THIS IS FOR REFERENCE TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION).
Identify some people you consider real or personal heroes. What characteristics do your contemporary heroes share with their mythical counterparts? How do they differ, if at all?
Please include one specific comparison between a contemporary hero and a traditional mythical hero.
Reply to the following below (120 word minimum):
My personal hero is my sisters foster mother Charlotte but we call her mama Char. I was lucky and had my mother but my best friend/sister’s mother left her here in the United states while she disappeared and went back to Panama. Anyway’s to make a long story short, Mama Char reminds me of Demeter. Demeter is mother to all, nurturer, and goddess of grain ( Lenard, S. & McClure, M. , 2004).. Mama Char is mother to all and has provided a mother figure to many young ladies that were placed in her care. At one point and time Child services removed my best friend/sister from Mama Chars care, a move that devastated all involved.Char faught Child services for rights to my best friend much in the same way Demeter searched and faught for her daughter Persephone when Zeus, who is Demeter’s husband and brother gave Persephone to his brother Hades, God of the underworld. Demeter, mother of all cares for and looks over all living creatures both human and animal. This is a characteristic that mama Char also possess. Just as Demeter taught the mortals how to plant and grow crops, Mama Char taught all of hard headed girls how to plant a garden.
