Assets In Theoretical Context: A Developmentalist Interpretation, James Midgley

Center for Social Development Research

This paper was commissioned for Inclusion in Asset Building: Research and Policy Symposium, an event hosted in September 2000 by the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis. The paper seeks to broaden understanding of asset programs by linking them to the normative perspectives of contemporary social welfare theory. These normative perspectives have been formulated by academics and social policy analysts in an attempt to capture and interpret the complexities of current social welfare realities. Although they invoke ideological preferences, these normative preferences are subsumed under the abstract formulations of normative theory. They reflect diverse beliefs about …

It is natural to suppose law is like the centurion and can do as it will: "I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it." But a thousand years ago, King Canute tried to disillusion his courtiers about his efficacy by commanding the waves to stop beating. And fifty years ago, Harry Truman predicted of Dwight Eisenhower, "He'll sit here, and he'll say, 'Do this! Do that!' And nothing will happen. Poor Ike-it won't be a bit like the Army. He'll find it …

Implicit Memory For Music In Alzheimer's Disease, Andrea R. Halpern, Margaret G. O'Connor

Faculty Journal Articles

Short, unfamiliar melodies were presented to young and older adults and to Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients in an implicit and an explicit memory task. The explicit task was yes–no recognition, and the implicit task was pleasantness ratings, in which memory was shown by higher ratings for old versus new melodies (the mere exposure effect). Young adults showed retention of the melodies in both tasks. Older adults showed little explicit memory but did show the mere exposure effect. The AD patients showed neither. The authors considered and rejected several artifactual reasons for this null effect in the context of the many …
