"The early mill girls were of different ages. Some were not over ten years old; a few were in middle life, but the majority were between the ages of sixteen and twenty five. The very young girls were called 'doffers.' They 'doffed,' or took off, the full bobbins from the spinning frames, and replaced them with empty ones. These mites worked about fifteen minutes every hour and the rest of the time was their own. When the overseer was kind they were allowed to read, knit, or go outside the millyard to play. They were paid two dollars a week. The working hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one half hour each, for breakfast and dinner. Even the doffers were forced to be on duty nearly fourteen hours a day. This was the greatest hardship in the lives of these children. Several years later a ten hour law was passed, but not until long after some of these little doffers were old enough to appear before the legislative committee on the subject, and plead, by their presence, for a reduction of the hours of labor.

Use the primary source above to answer the following - Explain working conditions for young girls in the factories.

Answer and Explanation:

According to the passage, young girls had to be on duty for about 14 hours a day, even if they were not actually working all of that time. Even though money was worth more back then, they were still paid very little - only 2 dollars a week. The very young girls, who had some time to spare, needed to rely on the kindness of the overseer to be able to use their free time to go play, to knit, or to read. As we can infer, there was no concern about employing children instead of sending them to school. The girls clearly could not study much if they were on duty throughout the day.

How does positive feedback affect the way participants remember the crime video? Feedback makes participants less willing to testify about what they saw in the video. Feedback causes all participants to be absolutely certain that they identified the correct man in the video. Feedback causes participants to remember the video with greater confidence. Feedback has no effect on the participants estimate of how much attention they paid to the man's face in the video. In 1984, an intruder broke into the home of Jennifer Thompson, a 22-year-old student, and sexually assaulted her. In the initial stages of the subsequent investigation, the police showed Jennifer a photo array of men matching the description she gave of the intruder. She chose a photo of Ronald Cotton and identified him as the assailant. At a later point in the investigation, Jennifer identified Ronald Cotton as her attacker a second time by choosing him from a lineup. Mr. Cotton spent 11 years in prison before DNA testing proved that someone else, a man named Bobby Poole, had actually attacked Jennifer. Although correct procedures were followed in the investigation, a combination of several factors led to Jennifer's confident and persuasive testimony during Ronald Cotton's trial. Which of the following presents a scenario where positive feedback could have impacted Jennifer's identification of her assailant? Jennifer was given only ten minutes to identify her attacker from the lineup. Jennifer was shown several photos simultaneously rather than a sequence of photos. Jennifer was not informed that her attacker might not be in the lineup. Officers told Jennifer that the man she identified in the photo array had been involved in other breaking-and-entering crimes.
