Langston, Advanced Cognitive Psychology, Notes
6 -- Memory applications
Now that we've considered properties of long term memory, we'll do
some readings applying long term memory research. We have a "kitchen
sink" article looking at effects of behavior on memory. We also have
a target article, responses to it, and their response. It looks like
more pages than it is. (Except for the first one; that person will
need to prepare an overview.)
