Description: An Overview of Human Memory
URL: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/cs6751_97_winter/Topics/human-cap/memory.html
Overview: This is a very good summary site that touches on memory related topics. It covers sensory memory, short term memory, and long term memory. It also provides some Gestalt theories and challenges some on the basis of validity. It goes on to explore echoic, haptic, and iconic memory and information retrieval as well.
I would consider using this article in a presentation because it is concise, well written, and very informative.

Site #1: Types of Memory Problems- Epilepsy
URL: http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/memory_problems.html
Description:
My mother in law has severe epilepsy and this site is pretty interesting because it explains memory impairment as it applies to the disorder. It’s a real life application of what we are studying. People with epilepsy run into problems not only with attention, but with encoding, storage, and retrieval of information as well; each step is affected. Just an interesting read if you have time…probably not so useful when studying or writing a paper, but practical for leisurely reading.
Tags: epilepsy memory impairments disability problems attention encoding storage retrieval cog3310 cognition Barr NYU 2007
Reasoning: These tags are topics covered and key words applicable to the article as well as where the article was written (NYU), who wrote it (Barr) and the year. Cognition, of course, was included as well for our class.
Site #2: Short Term Memory
URL: http://home.sandiego.edu/~taylor/stm.html
Description:
This site is a handy study guide for an upcoming test or just to outline and organize the information about short term memory for us. It’s somewhat shallow with the information, but it gets the basics across. It goes through various early studies and experiments as well as some major theories that have been developed; briefly explaining working memory, why we forget, scanning, and memory span concepts. I would not recommend using this for anything other than studying/organizing notes for yourself.
Tags: memory notes study guide STM LTM experiments curve san-Diego cog3310 cognition working span scan forgetting recognition
Reasoning: Again, these are keywords picked up and discussed throughout the article as well as the where and who information concerning the article.

http://www.merkle.com/humanMemory.html
Review: This article makes an interesting comparison between the human brain and a computer regarding “bytes” of memory storage. As a result of experimentation it was concluded that human beings remembered very nearly two bits per second on average whether it was visual, verbal, musical, etc. I thought this was an interesting connection to the world of technology through psychology.

Ch. 6: Flashbulb Memory
http://www.exn.ca/Templates/Story.cfm?ID=2000022953
Review: This site provides an article about Flashbulb memories. Basically, this article provides evidence for the idea that flashbulb memories are not different types of memories, but that they have strong emotional ties. The article also mentions the medial temporal lobe and its role in strong, emotional memories.
Tags: cog3310 brainstructures brain NGCSU typesofmemory memory test2 psychology
Rational: The cog3310 tag is required. The NGCSU and psychology tags help me separate my “scholarly” sites from recreational ones. The brainstructures and brain tags refer to the content of the article, as do the tags typesofmemory and memory. Test2 tag is for my study tactics.

Ch 6: Sensory Memory
http://library.thinkquest.org/26618/en-5.2.2=sensory%20memory.htm
Review: This site provides a quick overview of sensory memory. The most helpful thing about this site is that it provides links to information about other types of memory as well. If you’re looking for a brief description about the different “levels” of memory, this site will be helpful to you. As far as sensory memory goes, this website gives information about its characteristics, the basics as far research in sensory memory goes and what we need to do with information in sensory memory in order to retain it.
Tags: cog3310 memory psychology typesofmemory test2 sensorymemory
Rational: Once again, cog3310 tag is a necessary tag. Test2, psychology and memory aid me in the identification of sites for test review. Also, typesofmemory and sensory memory tags provide information about the content of the website.

Review of site 1: This site is great for helping learn about short and long term memory. It is pretty much short and sweet, but it is very easy to understand. It is good when just getting started on learning about memory. It seems to be a little oversimplified, but it really helps me to understand memory better. I also like that they have links within the article to go into more detail about certain topics. This is very useful.

Chapter SIX
The Website I Found For Website #1: http://www.mtsu.edu/~sschmidt/Cognitive/sensory_store/sensory.html
Brief Title: Sensory Storage
Review: This website has a lot of information on cognitive psychology in an outline type of format. It discusses visual sensory store and auditory sensory store. It also talks about other senses, and has a summary about all of the following listed. It shows great examples and helped me out a lot in understanding it all more clearly.

Site #1 Flashbulb Memories
http://psychology.hypnoticworld.com/memory/flashbulb.php
Review: I saw that several people have already posted relevant sites on Flashbulb memories but this is a great site for this topic in memory and in others. This site looks at the emotional experience of flashbulb memories and what affects them. This site also has links to other relevant topics in studying memory.
Tags: cog3310 Cognition Memory Emotions Memories
Rational: Cog3310 and Cognition are obvious but Memory and memories are because this are such a prevalent occurence and seem to just come out of nowhere. Emotions because flashbulb memories see to be relatively emotional and important instances.

http://www.rashmisinha.com/archives/05_09/tagging-cognitive.html
Review: I laughed out loud when I came across this article. It perfectly relates what we are studying and the del.icio.us accounts. It explains how our brains are like our del.icio.us accounts and how bloggin/tagging in our brains will lead to better memory.
Tags: Cognition cog3310 blogging tags del.icio.us memory
Rational: Cognition and cog3310 are required. Since this site puts into real life terms and examples of what we are learning, I tagged it with these examples.

Positive Priming
http://pos-psych.com/news/elizabeth-peterson/20070226130
I really like this article. In trying to maintain an optimistic attitude and environment, positive priming is muy importante. A certain color (yellow) and some positive young-defining words have great importance for the people within this article. Priming is an important mechanism for encoding memory, and being positive about it is even better!

This article is a tad boring and I did not find it to be too useful. It did not really catch my attention or leave me with the feeling I truly gained something from it, but it is an article full of information. I’ll leave it at that. This article speaks mostly of the limitations of memory.

The binding of working memory as one word helps me specify exactly what of memory I am searching for.

Site #1: http://ccrg.cs.memphis.edu/tutorial/flash_paper/Working&EpisodicMemory.swf
Review of Site #1: This site is a tutorial of “How Minds Work: Working and Episodic Memory” by a professor at the University of Memphis. It’s rather long, but that’s only because the print and pictures are so large. This tutorial is like an overview of working and episodic memory, complete with color examples – some show extensive networks that map memory. It doesn’t have much detail because the information is given as lists (more like class notes) and not in descriptive sentences. Still, I would recommend it as an overview or guide to learn the basics of working and episodic memory.

Rationale of tags for Site #1: I used the tags cog3310 and cognitive psychology so that it would be easy to find for classmates, working and episodic memory tag so that I would know the topic, and tutorial tag so that I could refer back to that if I needed a demonstration.
Site #2: http://www.apa.org/monitor/sep05/workout.html
Review of Site #2: This is an article on the apa.org site called “A Workout for Working Memory.” It discusses enhancing and expanding peoples’ working memories that would be helpful for not just everyone, but also people with learning disabilities. The author addresses functional limitations and stretching the limits. Under functional limitations, it briefly gives a little background on working memory and then moves on to recent studies in this area, providing examples of experiments and their results. Under stretching the limits, it focuses on people with ADHD and what research has found in applying memory tasks to these people. At the end of the article, it gives 2 websites with exercises for working memory. I liked this article because it presented ideas about how to improve working memory and also how people with learning disabilities could benefit from memory exercises. It was easy to read and offered insight into recent developments in research of this topic.

I absolutely love this movie!! This is a clip from Finding Nemo and Dori is a fish that suffers from Short-Term Memory loss. This clip is a cute example of what can happen when meeting someone new. If you love cartoons like I do, than this is a great way for you to remember short-term memory….unless of course you too have short-term memory.

I found this clip that is about 9/11 and discusses the affects on people who saw this traumatic event. The clip explains flashbulb memories and how they become burned into our minds. This is like a powerful flashback in times of trauma that includes a vital image. This clip DOES include images from 9/11.

I chose these tags because the clip discusses flashbulb memories and they come in flashbacks.

address: http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/d/d_07/d_07_p/d_07_p_tra/d_07_p_tra.html#3
review:The first page of this site gives very clear examples of STM and LTM and the areas of the brain in which they are activated. There are links on this page that are explanatory of such phenomena as: remembering and forgetting, how memory works, mnuemonic devices, and different models. For example: The different types of LTM that are explained are declarative v non declarative (or implicit). The level of explanation on this site ranges from very basic to advanced, so no matter at what level you would like to understand memory, this will supplement your learning.

I tagged the site in this manner because this site covers that which may be able to supplement the learning of ch 6 and ch7 in cog3310
