Memory is the next part of our model of the user as an information processing system. There are generally three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory

Ch 7: Declarative Memory
http://ahsmail.uwaterloo.ca/kin356/ltm/declarative.htm
Review: This site reviews declarative memory, its components and research supporting its existence. While this website isn’t very long, it provides a sufficient amount of information about declarative memory. This website also mentions which brain structures are associated with declarative memory.
Tags: cog3310 memory typesofmemory NGCSU brain psychology Declarative test2
Rational: Cog3310 is required. NGCSU and psychology tags allow me to distinguish what type of site this is. The tags memory, Declarative, typesofmemory and brain pertain to the subject matter of the website. Finally, test2 tag allows me to narrow down which websites to study for the next test.

Ch 7: Different Theories of Forgetting
http://library.thinkquest.org/C0110291/science/forget/index.php
Review: This site opens with a page that reviews forgetting, but if you click on the “next” icon at the bottom, more pages will appear that give specific information about the different theories of forgetting. This opening page also gives a little case study about a man who had excellent memory, but also how it impaired other types of memory. By following the links, you can find information on decay theory, interference theory and reconstructed memories. This website also provides names to reference if you’re interested in seeing the original research.
Tags: NGCSU cog3310 psychology memory forgetting test2
Rational: I chose the NGCSU and psychology tags for the purpose of separating academic and recreational websites. Cog3310 tag is mandatory. Test2 is the tag for identifying websites to study by. Memory and forgetting tags are for the identification of the content of the websites.

Creating Flase Memories
Site 1:
http://faculty.washington.edu/eloftus/Articles/sciam.htm
Review:
This is an online article by a proffessor at the University if Washington. She mentions a few cases in the past decades where psychiatrists or counselors have planted false memories in their patients, resulting in them being sued after the victims discovered that they never really experienced the traumatic events. She goes on to report that she and her students conducted experiments over the effect of misinformation and suggestion induces memory distortion. She goes further into false childhood memories, pseudomemories, impossible memories, etc. I thought it was interesting and very easy to read. She also lists some further reading at the bottom of the web page if you are interested. The site seems credible, listing information on the author Elizabeth Loftus, currently at the University of California (I looked on her homepage), and it says she was at some point President of the American Psyhcological Society. I would not use ths site for a research paper, but I would use it as an introduction to information and possibly use the books listed as resources on the site.
Tags:
cog3310 psych memory false cases pseudomemory tramatic
Rational:
cog3310 for the class, cases because of the examples, tramatic because the memories planted were often extremely tramatic to the victim, and the others are obvious.

Title: Human Memory Retention and Retreival
URL: http://www.web-us.com/memory/memory_encoding.htm
Tag: Overview of the encoding process as it applies to long and short term memory / Cog 3310
Description: This site renders quality information regarding the processes involved in encoding. It is a good overview article and it could be used in a paper or presentation. It explores the process of losing memory either through an inability to retrieve old data on the possiblity that it has been overwritten with new data or possible connection errors brought about by new data encoding.

Description: This site contains over 15 specific journal ariticles with the highlighted, key information appearing on the site. It provides links for the full ariticles, however, unlike other sites, this one provides detailed information extracted directly from the articles themselves. In sum, this is not a teaser site that is withholden of the vital information. This is an excellent resource for writing a paper or preparing a presentation on the chapter seven material. There is a great deal of sound information that leaves the reader with an enhanced understanding of the physiological components of human memory.

Site# 1 EyeWitness Testimony
http://www.psychology.iastate.edu/~glwells/
Review: This is a site by a noted professor. He seems to know his stuff on the psychology behind eyewitness testimony. I really focused on the article that was published in “Psychological Science in the Public Interest”. It tells the importance and the mechanics behind eyewitness testimony and examines the debate on the reliability of this type of memory. Also a couple of cool tests.

Review: This site is a little odd in appearance but it has some good information. It talks a little bit about where memories are stored.
Tags: cog3310 storage memory retention
Rational: I used memory because that is the main topic of the site. Retention I used because it mentions the different ways that memories are retained and storage because it shows the brain and where the data is stored.
Site #2: http://www.livescience.com/health/041101_False_memory.html
Review: The article is short but it describes false memories and how we are tricked by them. It is a very interesting article because it helped me understand in greater detail the processes that occur when we store or retrieve a false memory.
Tags: memory cog3310 false brain
Rational: I used false and memory because these are the focuses of the article. I used brain because the brain is where the memories are encoded and retrieved from.

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1661842
This article is actually an experiment done at the University of Kansas and is quite a difficult read. If you can spend the time to work through the scientific style, the article is informative. I would even say, I think, worthy of using as a reference in a paper or project. The experiment examines the memory load in older people (versus younger people) in regards to syntactic processing. It considers interference as a condition and exemplifies a complexity effect: complex sentences take longer to read…this effect is taken further in regards to the effects of interference and the differences shown in the two age groups. Like I said, a lengthy read but if interested, very cognitively informative.
Tags: memory load interference retention cognition cog3310 pubmed University Kansas Kemper Herman experiment age complexity
Rationale: these are key words that the article highlights and discusses as well as information pertaining to where the experiment was conducted (University of Kansas), where it was published (pubmed), and who wrote it (Kemper Herman). Cognition and cog3310 are, of course, required for the class.
http://memory.psych.upenn.edu/publications/files/KahaAdle02.pdf
This is another experiment type article done at Brandeis University and published online with UPenn, but what is best about this one is that it gives a good summary of previous research concerning the power law of forgetting. Our textbook cites research done by Wixted and Ebbesen and this article delves even deeper about forgetting and threshold memory. Again, I could see somebody using this as a reference in a paper or project. The past research done as well as the experiment within the article is very informative yet a difficult and lengthy read.

False Memories
http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/feature/story/0,13026,1098943,00.html
Different studies of memory are explained. Memory can be falsely created. It can be mostly accurate yet altered. Memory with emotion seems to be a powerful connection. Elizabeth Loftus uses Alan Alda in her studies in this interesting, easy-reading article.
Tags: cog3310 ch7 falsememory
These tags give me a direct route to Ch7 in Cog. Psyc. I placed false memory as one word to give me a more direct referral to what the article was about, instead of just using memory alone.
Decay Theory
http://library.thinkquest.org/C0110291/science/forget/decay.php
Focus on Decay Theory of the article. A brief description explaining that when neurons aren’t used, information can become lost or at least close to being lost. It contains a good metaphor referring to the neural activity. Small statistical reasoning on our memory as we age as well.
Tags: cog3310 ch7 decaytheory memory
Memory used as a general reference. Decay theory put as one word so I don’t just see theory and decay, but understand it as decay theory

http://users.ecs.soton.ac.uk/harnad/Papers/Py104/loftus.mem.html
Site Review: When reading about false memories in Chapter 7, I found it intriguing. This website explains how memories can be altered or created by simply suggesting that they happened. It explains in detail about the example mentioned in the textbook of making people truly believe they were lost in a mall when they were younger. It also gives another example of a step by step guide to how another experiment was performed to make participants believe false memories.
Tags: cog3310, false memories, memory, Chapter 7
Reason for tags: cog3310 for class, false memories is what the article is about, memory as a general topic I could look under if needing article and Chapter 7 incase I need it for review for test.
October 24th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
http://skepdic.com/memory.html
Site Review: This website is a great overview of several topic we covered in class during chapter 7. I goes into what memory is of course but then explains models of memory, why we forget information, amnesia and implicit, semantic, procedural, and episodic memory.
Tags: cog3310, memory, amnesia, implicit, semantic, procedural, episodic, psychology
Reason for tags: cog3310 for class, memory and psychology for good general topics to look under if ever searching for this article, amnesia, implicit, semantic, procedural, and episodic becasue they are different subtopics located within the article.

Site #1: http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/Memory/index.htm
Review of Site #1: This is a short article called “Techniques for Memory Retention” written by a graduate student of educational technology at a university. It offered a brief definition of memory and went straight into listing the techniques. It had 2 sections – organizing strategies and mnemonic devices. It gave several strategies for each topic, each with a description and a color picture example. I liked this article because it gave straightforward explanations and examples and sometimes presented questions for the students to ask themselves to help them better understand the concept. It would be useful for use as a guide to different strategies for memory retention.
Tags for Site # 1: cog3310 cognitive-psychology memory-retention memory-strategies-and-techniques
Rationale of tags for Site #1: I used the tags cog3310 and cognitive psychology so that it would be easy to find for classmates, tag memory retention because that was what it addressed, and tag strategies and techniques so I could refer to it to learn those things.
Site #2: http://www.web-us.com/memory/generic_ltm_memory.htm
Review of Site #2: This is a concise overview of long term memory that goes over recognition, recall, basic facts of long term memory, schemas, and why we forget things. This article is short, but it would be good for a basic understanding of long term memory because it gives simple explanations as well as examples of the history of research in this area. One thing I liked about this page was that at the end, it listed several links that went to more articles about memory that all addressed different concepts and issues. These articles were all set up like the article I just reviewed and they would all be useful for understanding memory and the various aspects of it.
Tags for Site #2: cog3310 cognitive-psychology long-term-memory memory
Rationale of tags for Site #2: I used the tags cog3310 and cognitive psychology so that it would be easy to find for classmates, and the memory tags so I would know the topic.

Site 1: http://www.brainchannels.com/Memory/encoding/encoding.html
Site 1 Review: This site is very useful in learning more about the memory process. It talks about encoding the information, and the different ways in which it is possible. It is short and sweet, but it definitely gets the point across.
Tags: Brain cog3310 memory encoding ch7 test2rev
Reasoning of tags: I used cog3310 because it is the class; brain, memory, and encoding because they are all relevant to the material, and ch7 and test2rev so that I can find the material when studying for the test.
Site 2: http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/inmandw/review/cogpsy/review/rev5653.html#kw30
Review of site 2: This is a site from our author, and I think that it does a good job of explaining the material. It takes the bulk of the material about memory, and then breaks it down into smaller components which I really like because it helps me understand it better.
Tags: cog3310, memory, ch7, test2rev
Reasoning of tags: Cog 3310 is for this class, memory is what it is about, ch7 is the chapter the material is in, and test2rev so that I can find the website more readily when studying for the test.

Review: The Interference theory was the most interesting to me when reading chapter seven. This site goes over the theory and explains and gives examples of what occurs. The brain game on the right of the screen is a free trial for 14 days (need to sign up- takes 30 seconds)!!! very fun and a little addicting. Like the ones we do in class that have to do with remembering words and pictures at the same time and recalling them.

Site 1: False Memories
http://faculty.washington.edu/eloftus/Articles/sciam.htm
This is a website about false memories. It features some very interesting cases where false memories were thought to be planted in a person. A study Elizabeth Loftus conducted about false childhood memories is also discussed at length. It also has information about imagination inflation and impossible memories. Impossible memories for example are when someone is too young to have even been capable of forming a memory. This website is a bit lengthy, but it is worth reading if this is something that you like.
Tags: cog3310-for class, false-this is the type of memory discussed, Loftus-she is the author and a huge researcher about false memories and eyewitness testimony
Site 2: Korsakoff Syndrome
http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard
/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/korsakoffs_
syndrome.jsp
This Health A to Z site is about Korsakoff syndrome, which is a type amnesia. It is caused by a deficiency of vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. In the United States, the most common way to get this deficiency is by alcoholism. This site does talk about some other situations that this condition might arise, and they are good to know. I never knew that this condition could be caused by anything other than alcoholism, but it can. This site goes into everything you need to know about the syndrome, which is far more in depth than the book.
Tags: cog3310-for the class of course, Korsakoff-this is the name of the syndrome, alcoholism-this is what is most associated with being the cause

review: The Interference theory caught was the most interesting to me when reading chapter 7. This site gives a nice description and discussion on interference. To the right of the page you can sign up to test your brain performance (you have to sign up but it inly takes 30 seconds to do). The games are fun and a little addicting. Very fun and interesting!

This is a cool video of a man that suffers from anterograde amnesia. There is a woman describing how the man goes about every day with this disorder keeping journals and how everyday for him is like waking up a bunch of times without dreams or memory of before.
tags:cog3310, psychology, amnesia, anterograde, memory
I chose these tags because the man suffers from anterograde amnesia which involves memory.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2QtEZYJRq7s
I found this clip because this involved a late repressed memory that could possibly be a false memory. In this clip there is a murder suspect being accused from his daughter. The daughter was hypnotized and the memory came years later. Because these memories could have been false due to hypnosis, they were not able to use them in court.
tags:cog3310, false memories, memory, suppressed memories, psychology, hypnosis
I chose these tags because the woman accusing her father was hypnotized and could have suffered from false memories or suppressed memories.
