Ch 5: Propositional Representations
http://www.richmond.edu/~pli/teaching/psy333/psych_proprep.html
Review: This is a helpful website if you’re looking for further description of propositional representation. It provides a brief explanation of mental representations in general, it breaks down the pieces composing a propositional representation and mentions the experiment by Sachs providing evidence for propositional representation. Also, by clicking on the psychology link to the right, you can follow links to other types of representation, including mental imagery.
Tags: propositionalrepresentation cog3310 memory psychology NGCSU
Rational: Propositionalrepresentation refers to the specific content of this webpage. NGCSU and psychology tags are used to identify academic websites. Cog3310 is a necessary tag, and memory is just the general topic.

Ch 5: Mnemonics
http://www.psywww.com/mtsite/mnemexam.html
Review: This site provides different mnemonic techniques. I know that there has already been a site outlining the major mnemonic techniques that we reviewed in class. However, this website also gives explanations for the techniques, why mnemonics might fail, retrieving mnemonics during an exam, et cetera. It’s an interesting website, if nothing else.
Tags: cog3310 memory psychology mnemonics test2 studytool
Rational: Cog3310 is required. Psychology filters my tagged websites for academic content. Memory is the general tag for the purpose of mnemonics. Test2 and studytool are used to identify useful websites for the next test.

http://labsico.units.it/Papers/Fum_Stocco_2003_Instance_vs_Rulebased_Learning.pdf
This is an experiment done at the University of Trieste in Italy that compares instance theories with rule-based abstraction theories based on models (Dienes and Fahey as well as a Wallach model) utilizing a sugar factory task. The two experiments are discussed as a new model…the ACT-R model that better explains the results. It is a very difficult to read article (for me, anyway) but probably worth the time and effort to sort through if time was permitted. It seems to me to be a very scientific and valid article that could be of some use in a paper.
Tags: instance theories abstraction rule ACT-R experiments sugarfactory memory cognition cog3310
Rationale: The tags I chose are key words and I probably could have done a more thorough job if I better understood the material (I admit it). Our required tags are included as well.
http://www.csl.sony.fr/epirob2006/papers/PezzuloCalvi.pdf
Another difficult to read yet scholarly-type article dealing with the perceptual symbol system discussed in our text. The book made little sense to me, and to be honest, this article made even less. It does go into depth about schemas and simulators, actuators, three learning phases, and much more that I am unsure about. I think if I better understood the material and an assignment was given that requires information on this topic, I could sort through the jargon and probably discover some really great points and informative information in this article.
Tags: perceptual-symbols system memory cognition cog3310 schemas …
Rationale: These, again, are key words scattered throughout the main body of the article and also, if I understood the material in better terms, I could probably come up with some better tags.

Review:
This site has 2 memory test on it. One is for verbal memory that tests your ability to recall info and recognize info. The other is a visual memory. They don’t take too long to do, maybe about 20 minutes for both, depending on how fast your internet is. It’s just a fun way to see what kind of memories you can retain better.

Site #1: http://www.bozeman.k12.mt.us/history/telling/docs/Workshops/4-20-06/concept_maps.pdf
Review of Site #1: This site is a brief tutorial on concept maps. It’s posted for teachers to use as a guide in introducing the topic to their students, but I found it to be very useful in understanding and creating concept maps. This tutorial is designed like a handout and it presents the material in a straightforward, easy to understand manner. It begins with an explanation about concept maps, including what it is used for and a step-by-step procedure for designing one. It then addresses propositional networks and how they relate to students’ learning. It provides the teacher with questions to present to their students that help them understand and create concept maps, including a table containing “connecting words” that are useful in concept mapping. The last part lists 6 types of maps, all including color examples and very short explanations of how they work and what areas they would be valuable in. I liked this site because as it explained concept mapping and how it would help students, I learned a lot about how I could use them and the reasoning behind the idea of them. Although this tutorial was short and not very much in depth, it gave easy explanations and really shed light on the usefulness of concept maps.
Tags for Site # 1: cog3310 cognitive-psychology concept-maps tutorials-examples

Site #2: http://www.semanticresearch.com/semantic/
Review of Site #2: This is the site of Semantic Research, Inc. who study the “practical application of semantic networking theory.” Under the tab Semantic Networks, the main page gives a brief explanation of semantic networks, including an example of what one looks like. The tabs on the left of the page go further in depth, with anatomy of a semantic network, knowledge visualization, supporting research, and further reading. Their link to anatomy of a semantic network provided a good description, addressing elements of a network, concepts, knowledge structures, relations, and instances. Knowledge visualization also had a concise explanation, including visual models. One thing to be cautious about is that the research they conduct is for their own company, which could result in a bias and also, they are trying to sell their products of semantic networking software. I would investigate the company before using this as a source, but it would be interesting to see the research that they do because it could have some credibility. What I liked about this site was the brief explanations and examples and the possibility of further study into this area.
Tags for Site # 2: cog3310 semantic-networks cognitive-psychology semantic-network-research

URL of site 1 here: http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/inmandw/review/cogpsy/review/rev5653.html
review of site 1: This page discusses a number of terms relevant to this chapter. It discusses propositional networks, long and short term memory, working memory, etc. It also features links to many important subjects.
tags for site 1: memory propostional workingmemory cog3310
rational of tags for site 1: I chose the tags memory, propositional, and working memory, because these are a few terms that are relevant to what we are studying. I tagged cog3310, because it is for this class.
URL of site 2: http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Papers/Harnad/harnad92.symbol.object.html
review of site 2: This site discusses the perceptual symbol system, categorical perception, and a number of other relevant terms.
tags for site 2: perception symbolsystem cog3310
rational of tags for site 2: I tagged perception, because it is a tag that I have already used previously. I tagged symbol system, because it is the main topic of the site. I tagged cog3310, because I am using it for this class.

review: this site provides distinction between episodic, semantic, and procedural memory. It also further discusses propositional networks
tag: cog3310, semantic memeory, episodic memory, procedural memeory, propositional networks,
rational: semantic, episodic, and procedural memory b/c it discusses them. Propositional networks because it goes into depth about what exactly they are.

review: nothing special, however, this website displays a clear cut definition of what schemas are, as well as a few external links.
Tag: cog3310, schema,
Rational: cog3310 for class, schema because that’s the websites focus,

1. http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/schema-simulator/home.html
This is an article that gives a fairly easy understanding of schema. It discusses how the mind perceives the world. (Reality) It talks about how people have their own schemas and when we perceive something we try to fit it into our own schemas so we identify with it.
Tags: cog3310 cognition psychology prof_chuck schema
I used the tags based on the article being about schemas and I added the class tags.
2. http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/inmandw/tutorials/memory/qu9.htm
This is a great site discussing how cognitive psychology and understanding how the brain works with memory can be used to develop new computer memory. I talks about Hierarchical encoding, and retention of detail compared to meaning.
Tags: cog3310 cognition psychology prof_chuck hierarchical encoding memory
I tagged hierarchical, encoding, and memory along with the class tags due to the discussion of memory and encoding in the article.

Site Review: This is a helpful, brief, and easy to understand review over semantic memory and even gives examples of different hypothetical networks. It also goes over a few vocab words that are in chapter five that might be helpful.
Tags: cog3310, semantic memory, propositional networks
Reasoning for tags: cog3310 for class, semantic memory and propositional networks because that’s what is contained in the article.

Single Neurons in the Monkey Hippocampus and Learning of New Associations
The medial temporal lobe is crucial for the ability to learn and retain new declarative memories. This form of memory includes the ability to quickly establish novel associations between unrelated items. To better understand the patterns of neural activity during associative memory formation, we recorded the activity of hippocampal neurons of macaque monkeys as they learned new associations. Hippocampal neurons signaled learning by changing their stimulus-selective response properties. This change in the pattern of selective neural activity occurred before, at the same time as, or after learning, which suggests that these neurons are involved in the initial formation of new associative memories.

review: these are descriptive slides produced for students studying LTM and these slides discuss the decay of LTM and how it may be measured.
tags: cog3310, chapter 5
reasons: this gives a good clarification for the measure of decay of LTM for those who do not completely understand the concept

title: Neurons….Born in the Brain
address:http://www.sfn.org/index.cfm?pagename=news_111505b
review: this page just gives a quick description of how your brain acquires knowledge through generating new neurons.
tags: cog3310, chapter 5
reasons: this page is very brief in discussing the plasticity of the brain in learning, but serves as a way of gaining a little more clarification and a different perspective.

Site 2 Review: This is an extremely lengthy and detailed description and explanation of amodal and perceptual symbol systems. It explains strengths and problems with each symbol system.
Tags: Lawrence Barsalou, amodal symbol systems, perceptual symbol systems, perception, memory, cog3310
I choose the tag Lawrence Barsalou because he is the psychologist and author of the article, amodal and perceptual symbol systems because those are two of the focuses of the article and cog3310 for class.
