Answer to Question 1

Answer: Chunking is the grouping of individual items into meaningful units. By combining items into larger groups of information, chunking essentially increases the capacity of short-term memory.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Participants were briefly presented a variable number of items which were then removed during a minimal delay period. Following the delay, a probe item was presented. Participants had to indicate whether or not the probe item matched an item in the memory set. As the number of items in the memory increased so did the response time.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
