This site presented much of the same information as the book, and the new information did not really help to clarify anything….look elsewhere for online academic assistance.

This site had some very interesting stories about false memories. Helps to solidify the concepts presented in class and in the book.

This page really helped to describe anterograde amnesia to me. It helped me understand by giving great examples while also discussing the hippocampus, short-term memory, Korsokoff’s disease, and epilepsy. Great study tool!

I really enjoyed this site because it gave some great examples of how to remember short-term memory and long-term memory. A great thing for studying! It also gives great key ways to remember things like working memory and memory stores.

Site Review I found this site suitable for cursory overview. It is a worthy site for review.

Site Review This is a very good, detailed study that was informative and enlightning.

I reviewed Courtney’s anterograde amnesia site. It helped to more thoroughly understand the condition when I actually saw someone who suffered from it.

I also reviewed Michele Wiesner’s site concerning forgetting. It was very helpful because it went into fairly thorough detail about the different theories concerning the actual process of forgetting, why they occur, ect. ect.

I chose this review because it was fun and I like to do those fun tests to test your memory. These help me to understand the concept and reasoning better. I enjoyed this site and I would use it for both research and study references.

I chose this site because I had a little trouble with chapter 5. I chose Ashley Bogue because the website was simple and to the point. I needed a quick clarification on a few points and definitions and this site helped me out with that. I think this site is better as a study resource but it could also be used as a reference. I liked it a lot.

This was taken from Stacy Newman’s contribution to Dual Coding Theory in Chapter 4. This is wonderful information to use as a reference in a paper. This came from the Stanford Philosopher’s Index. It would also be very good to use as a presentation, although these ideas might actually get too far above what we are actually studying. As far as using this to prepare for the test, I’m not sure how much of this we would need to know. Learning this wouldn’t hurt at all, but this goes above and beyond what the book had to say about the Dual Coding Theory. This could be hard to understand for undergraduates though.

This is from Whitney Hampton’s contribution. This is just an overall explanation of Anterograde Amnesia, the causes, and a couple of other things. You could use this as a reference for sure in your paper, because it is correct information. It doesn’t stray from what the book had to say by much. There wasn’t a lot to read. You couldn’t give a presentation over what this site had to say, it was far too short. But if you couldn’t understand what the book had to say about AA (Anterograde Amnesia) then this would be the perfect read to help you study for the test. Good material, gave more reasons than the book, but still short.

I reviewed Earnest Mayson’s site from CH. 6 because I wanted to see the pictures of the sheep brain again (as soon as I saw it I could smell formaldehyde again eww) and the link on memory led to some really interesting games and articles. I really liked the “common cents” link where you have to recognize a penny from a bunch of penny fakes, and the “if you’re going to rob a bank” link about remembering faces and what parts of the faces people remember most, demonstrated by elvis wigs on famous people, and using the same face for an entire baseball team with each individual having only different hair. I thought it was an interesting site over all, although it wouldn’t be appropriate for a research paper as there weren’t a lot of references or work cited and I’m not sure the exact date the site was last updated.

Review Site 2:
http://www.uark.edu/misc/lampinen/sm.html

I reviewed Matt Strever’s site for CH. 5. It’s basically a review of semantic memory and has a few diagrams as well as definitions and is organized like an outline of the topic. It’s a good review if you’re confused about semantic memory and just need things to be organized in a different way than the book to be able to remember them.
