249THE MONGOLS AND TRANSREGIONAL EMPIRES

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: HOW BRUTAL WAS GENGHIS KHAN?

Was Genghis Khan a brutal destroyer who murdered millions, or was he a great unifi er who promoted prosperity by unifying most of Eurasia?

Many historians emphasize that Khan was a bloodthirsty tyrant. Military historian Steven R. Ward writes that “Overall, the Mongol violence and depredations killed up to three-fourths of the population of the Iranian Plateau.” Total deaths attributed to the Mongols during his rule and the rule of his descendants often reach the tens of millions. Stories of his massacres of innocent people and of using unarmed civilians to protect his own soldiers show him to have little regard for human life.

Others historians focus more on Khan’s role as a great leader and hero. Mongolian scholars, showing their national pride in their most famous countryman, argue that his reputation for brutality has been exaggerated. As historians from Europe and the United States have focused more on trade and toleration, they have noted the benefits of the Mongols’ rule. Genghis Khan forged a united China and established a system of Eurasian trade that renewed the links between China and Europe that had lapsed. Further, the Mongols were open to ideas and tolerant of different religions. Khan believed in a meritocracy, and he established one writing system across his empire. His rule opened the way for new systems of laws, for trade, and for cultural expansion.

One Persian historian takes a position broad enough that everyone can agree with: “Genghis was possessed of great energy, discernment, genius, and understanding, awe-inspiring, a butcher, just, resolute, an over-thrower of enemies, intrepid, sanguinary, and cruel.”

ProjectionsBecause the earth is a sphere and maps are flat, all maps must distort some aspect of reality. Distortion is unavoidable. The process of showing a curved surface on a flat surface is done using a map projection. Mapmakers must decide whether they want to correctly preserve area, shape, distance, or direction on their flat map. They know that the other elements will have to be altered and become less accurate as the earth is “flattened” on their map.

COMPARING MAP PROJECTIONS

Purpose Strengths Distortion Type of Projection

• Lines of latitude and longitude meet at right angles

• Distance between lines of longitude appears constant,

memory. A newer understanding of STM, however, focuses on the conscious, active processing of auditory as well as visual-spatial information along with information retrieved from long-term memory. This stage of the memory process is a kind of mental “scratch pad.” Short-term memory is very sensitive and vulnerable to interruption or interference.

Long-term memory (LTM) is the final stage and the type of memory that can store information indefinitely, often based on its relative importance to the individual. To make it to LTM, stimuli must be encoded. Encoding is taking information from the environment and converting it into a form or construct that the brain can understand and use. This conversion takes place by comparing new information to information previously learned. If the stimuli are not encoded, they will be forgotten.

The figure on this page represents the stages in the process of moving stimuli into memory or forgetting them. If they are not attended to, they do not make it to short-term memory. If they are not encoded, they do not make it to long-term memory. The key to getting information into LTM is the coding for storage, or rehearsing the information enough so that it sticks.

Three Kinds of Long-Term MemoriesWithin LTM, there are three kinds of memories. Episodic memories are the stories of our lives and experiences that we can recall (like episodes of a television show) and tell to someone else. When people recount something that happened to them or someone else, they are using their episodic memories. Semantic memories are impersonal memories that are not drawn from personal experiences but rather from everyday, common kinds of knowledge such as the names of colors, the names of the states, and other basic facts you learn over the course of your life. Procedural memories are memories of how to do something, such as ride a bike, bake cookies, create simple code for a computer, tie your shoes, and all the other tasks you have learned.

T he Science of Psychology: Rereading vs. Retrieval in Effective Learning

How do you study for tests? If you are like most students, you reread the textbook and your notes. In a survey, 84% of college students said they used rereading as a study strategy; 55% said rereading was the strategy they used most often and consistently. After students reread—expecting that part of their studying to result in the greatest learning—they may test themselves with chapter-ending questions or practice tests to see how well they do. What many do not realize, however, is that the real learning takes place during those self-quizzes, when their brains retrieve information. Indeed, research has repeatedly shown that rereading has little to no effect on learning, while retrieval, especially when it is spaced out, results in solid learning. If the retrieval is done repeatedly but over a short period of time, as a student might do when cramming for an exam, its impact is also negligible.

Design an Experiment on Retrieval: Work with a partner for this activity. First, read the “Science Brief” from June 2016 on the website of the American Psychological Association titled, “A powerful way to improve learning and memory” by Jeffrey Karpicke, PhD, for a good summary of the research on this topic. For each study reported in that article, note the authors, title, and date of the study; the research objective; the method of obtaining data; and the results in a chart like the one below. Discuss each study with your partner. When you have completed the chart, design your own experiment for assessing the effectiveness of retrieval for learning. Share your experiment with the rest of the class.

Comprehensive coverage of all topic areas for the AP® Psychology course

Features

• Vignette—each chapter begins with a story, an instance when behavior has a big impact on someone’s life; the chapter returns to the vignette several times to cover findings that relate to that particular case

• Researchers at Work—in every chapter, important discoveries are explained and illustrated to highlight the process of experimentation and hypothesis testing—the progression of experiments provides an increasingly sharper picture of the factors shaping behavior

• Psychology in Everyday Life—topics where knowledge of psychology might be applicable to everyday life, such as whether people with schizophrenia are violent, the importance of “blind” auditions for musicians, or how conditioned taste aversion might cause you to stop eating sushi when you used to love it

• The Cutting Edge—explores an exciting report of current research; showing students these vibrant experiments will emphasize that psychology research remains well and alive

• Think Like a Psychologist: Principles in Action—to close each chapter, each behavioral principle is related back to the vignette





Main Idea 1: Limits 42

MODEL PROBLEMS

1. Find the limit of the function = − +f x x( ) 3 1 as x approaches −∞ .

(A) ∞ (B) –3

(C) −∞

(D) 0

Solution

When the value of x is sufficiently negative, the function is positive. When x decreases in value without bound, the function increases in value without bound,

hence no finite value is arrived at and xlim 3 1 .x

)(− + = ∞→−∞

The correct option is (A).

2. Evaluate x xlim 4 2 .x

3 )( + +→∞

(A) ∞ (B) –3

(C) −∞

(D) 0

Solution

What happens to the value of the dependent variable in a cubic function when the independent variable increases without bound? Does the function tend toward a finite real number or does it also increase without bound?

FR 3. Evaluate x

Solution

From our previous knowledge, we know that this function has a vertical asymptote at x = 1. What does that mean for the limit of this function as x approaches 1?

Main idea 1: Limits

Lesson 1: Limit Definition and Basics

• Definition of Limit

• Numerical and Graphical Estimation of Limits

• Using Limits to Describe Asymptotic and Unbounded Behavior of Functions

Explain: Definition of LimitA limit of a function f(x) is a real number, R, that the function tends to as x moves arbitrarily close to a number, c. We denote this by

To determine the value of the limit R, of a function f(x), we take values of x that are closer and closer to c, both from its left- and right-hand side, which we substitute into the function and observe the behavior of the value of the function. If, in both cases, the function tends to a specific number, we say the limit exists and is equal to the value . Otherwise, the limit does not exist. In addition, if the value of f(x) tends to be increasingly larger or smaller without bound, we say the limit does not exist.

For a general discrete probability distribution, we have the following formu-las for the mean and variance of the distribution:

If the sample space of an event contains the values x1 , x2 , . . . , xn , havingprobabilities of occurring of p1, p2 , . . . , pn, then the mean of the probability dis-tribution is

�x � x1p1 + x2p2 � . . . � xnpn

��n

i�1xi pi

and the variance is

� 2 � (x1 � �x)2 p1 � (x2 � �x)2 p2 � . . . � (xn � �x)2 pn

��n

i�1(xi � �x)2 pi

The mean of a probability distribution is denoted by the Greek letter � (mu),rather than x� as the mean for sample data. Similarly, the variance of the distri-bution is denoted by the Greek letter � 2 (sigma) instead of s2 for sample data.Consequently, � is the symbol for the standard deviation of the probability dis-tribution.

Expected Value and Standard ErrorIn this context, the mean is usually given the name expected value; in somebooks, the standard deviation is called the standard error.

LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION

AP® Literature and Composition:

Preparing for the Advanced Placement ExaminationElfie Israel, Mary Berilacqua & Rosemary TimoneyA reader-friendly approach to the content students need to know to succeed on the AP examThis text reviews what students have learned in class—literary terms, allusions, reading strategies, writing tips, and much more—in preparation for the AP® Literature and Composition exam.

Features • two complete practice tests with scoring rubrics• authentic student-written essays with teacher analysis• strategies for analyzing poetry and prose• techniques for answering multiple-choice questions and essay prompts• improves understanding of concepts through guided practice• includes tips for how the wording of multiple-choice questions provides

clues to an answer

Example:

1. The dominant device used by the author is(A) comparison and contrast(B) appeal to emotion(C) extended analogy(D) hyperbole(E) interior monologue

“Effect”This question asks you to understand the technique of lines in a ques-tion and also to choose why they are used (what effect they have on thepassage). This is a good type to skip if time is running out. Be sure toget the lines in context, because this is the only way to understand theeffect in addition to the meaning of the lines. The purpose of a sentenceor line is usually to introduce an idea, set the tone, solidify somethingthat was said before it, or serve as a thesis.

Example:

1. The speaker includes descriptions of Barton Williamsprimarily to provide all of the following except(A) an example of the type of man Shirley is expected to

marry(B) a parallel with Bethune Street(C) a symbol of the boring future to which Shirley sees

herself doomed(D) a contrast to the dreamy but exciting Arthur(E) an interlude of comic relief

“Excerpted Words”Read and reread the entire sentence in which the word is found, as wellas a few lines before and after the excerpted words. If you are still un-able to ascertain the meaning, identify the device, etc., reread the en-tire paragraph or stanza. Eliminate the obviously incorrect answersand work with what’s left.

Example:

1. In line 11, “convolutions” refers to(A) convictions(B) coils(C) irregular folds(D) intricate passages(E) agitations

“Infer/Suggest”Some questions will ask you to construe the meaning of an excerptbased on the context and connotations of the piece. Avoid taking a lit-eral view of the question: Look for deeper meaning. At the same time,

Step 1: Read the Prompt Carefully

What are some of the important words in the prompt?

What elements of the prompt do you need to explore?

Note that the key to the question is its second part: Why does thereader feel admiration for that person? How has the author encouragedrespect for the character?

Step 2: PlanOnce you dissect the question, you can then move on to brainstorming alist of characters that would be suitable for discussion. The best way toselect a character is to brainstorm/cluster/outline until you have severalgood possibilities. Limit your choices to works you have read and are fa-miliar with. Too often, movies are quite different from the books uponwhich they’re based, and your reader knows that. So do not chooseMoby-Dick, for example, if you have only seen the movie.

Remember that you are NOT limited to the list provided by theCollege Board. (As readers, we remember being relieved when a studentselected a book not on the list. Taking risks and being different can reapbenefits.) However, make sure your selection is relevant. Try not to se-lect too arcane a book. Look over the books suggested, circle the ones

cruel or reprehensible acts corrupt, base, or amoral. In liter-ature, however, authors often introduce us to characterswhom we learn to like or even respect, despite their deeds.

Write an essay about one such character for whom youdeveloped admiration or compassion. Briefly explain why youfelt his or her behavior to be condemnable or contemptible,and how the author’s techniques influenced you to admirethat person. Do not summarize the plot. (40 minutes)

Characters:

___________________ __________________ ___________________

___________________ __________________ ___________________

___________________ __________________ ___________________

After you have created your list, consider the reasons why you feelsympathetic toward one of the characters. You can make a serious errorhere if you did not read the prompt carefully. You must choose a char-acter you liked despite some bad or cruel things he or she did. This is thetime to limit your choice and begin your cluster. Did the character’sbackground or personal experiences elicit empathy? Was the authorialvoice intrusive and judgmental? Did the author’s language and dictionevoke positive feelings? Were the character’s evil actions justifiable?Were there mitigating circumstances?

Since your reader is already very familiar with the work, and sinceyou have been instructed not to summarize the plot, you need not dwellon the character’s dark side—his or her immorality or evil or selfish-ness. Briefly mention the reasons why he or she is considered evil; thendiscuss the events or characteristics that elicited your compassion.

This is the time to select one character and quickly jot down the reasons you feel sympathy toward that person.

From your cluster, write the first paragraph of your essay respondingto the prompt. Remember to remain focused.
