Cognitive Theories & Models
Cognitive Theories & Models
A theory termed the “Peak and Decline Model” describes aging and creativity in a restrictive sense, basing the theory on what has been observed in the past among persons that are famous for one reason or another. The theory states that humans age, reaching a personal critical age at which they are at their peak, and, due to this fact they produce their personal best work. The model states that most people are at their personal best in their late 30’s. This is when the cognitive and intellectual processes come together to make people the most creative that they will ever be. Presented as evidence to this theory are the many people that are famous throughout the past, such as Albert Einstein and the theory of relativity. In every field of human endeavor, whether it be the sciences, arts, engineering, or any other field, again and again the pattern repeats itself. Since there is so much evidence of achievement in this narrow span of years of age, from the thirties to the early forties in which so many have achieved so much that there was very little evidence to dispute this theory.
Proposed Case Vignette
Presentation of the Problem
Jesus is an eighteen year old Latino male. He, in May of last year, graduated from High School in Coahoma, Texas. Coahoma Texas is a very small town of about 1000 residents in west Texas. The closest metropolitan area is Midland/Odessa Texas with a population of about 250,000 combined people in the two cities. It is about a 90 minute drive from Coahoma to Midland/Odessa.
Jesus was an average high school student over the course of his high school education. His mother owns a small Mexican restaurant and is a citizen of the Republic of Mexico, as is his father, and oilfield worker.
Jesus is not a US citizen, having been born in Mexico. He has however been living in the US since he was a baby of just over one year of age.Jesus is fluent in the Spanish and English languages. The family speaks mostly Spanish inside the home.Jesus worked part time in his mother’s restaurant during his high school summers, and weekends during the school year.
Upon graduation Jesus was anxious to move away from Coahoma, realizing that there were limited employment opportunities in and around his home town. Jesus was not particularly interested in attending college or university, and didn’t really know what he wanted to be, so far as careers are concerned.
Priority of the Negotiation Issues
I have an assignment which is:
To prepare for your “role” (buyer vs. seller), you will need to read the confidential information about your role. The confidential information will be emailed to the buyers and sellers separately. Do NOT share this background information with your negotiating partner. It will ruin the fun of the exercise, and you won’t get nearly as much out of it.
Planning Document: This is an individual assignment. Please read your role confidential information, prepare for a planning document, save as a PDF file, and submit through Canvas. The planning document must be completed before you conduct the mock negotiation with your partner.
Financial statements
You will submit a report as well as the necessary spreadsheets for Section III of the final project.You will discuss acquisitions and the consolidation process. You will also create a hypothetical example of a consolidation worksheet to submit with your report.
