This article studies the effect of different factors on the academic performance of freshmen college students. It presents different studies performed on these students. The studies' results reflect the extent to which each factor affects students' GPAs. However, It shows that drinking is not a significant predictor of achievement. This research clearly provides shocking results, probably because it is limited to a small population of freshmen students enrolled at a private university.

Nothing, actually. Aside from our panic that the Internet is melting their brains.

This article gives an example of a third grade girl that is attending a vacation bible school. This article, edited by Megan Greulich, shows examples about how teaching the stories in the Bible can contribute to the understanding of a childs learning ability.

Good for background information.

This resource is from the UK so its background is very helpful in the traffic light system. Also the results may be helpful to add to my paper. This article is very helpful becuase it is extremely current. http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=33159157&site=ehost-live

An anecdotal look at this year's young-voter turnout.

Lynn Waterhouse's article summarizes evidence for three cognitive theories, one including the "Mozart Effect" theory. Since I was doing this project about the Mozart Effect, I figured I'll pay more attention on the passage concentrating more on MI. In the review, it discusses the history of the method as well as evidence showing how effective this is. It also talks about the Mozart Effect as an arousal tool, that Mozart music creates excitement. Like many of the sources that I'm using, this source also presents that some researchers disconfriming the evidence of this method.

This is a case report about the Mozart Effect. In the study, it dealt with a 56-year-old man who throughout his life dealt with gelastic seizures, which is laughing off random. After having many testes done on him cure this problem, the doctor decided to do a intervention. In that intervention, Mozart's music was used which enhanced his spatiotemporal reasoning.

This article talks about how the "Mozart Effect" has been popularized as being the method of making people smarter, however is has discussed the criticism that the method been getting of being fake. This article also discusses a study that was done by groups of student playing video games instead of tests. Their goal was to determine whether listening to Mart will improve people's performance in computer games.

This experiment was a survey given to random shoppers. The article concluded, as many, that there was no conslusive evidence of anything basically. Level of reading labels again varied but the source's backgroung may be useful to my paper. http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=35436363&site=ehost-live

The fear that drives many of us away from the risks of extreme sports maybe the same ingredient that keeps top athletes coming back for more.
