In your posting for the Discussion Board, complete the following:

  • Describe your situation. Explain the mindlessness of the situation.
  • Use critical-thinking concepts to identify more effective thinking strategies that could have been utilized in your situation. They must be research-based.
  • Identify what the outcome might have been in your situation if those critical thinking skills had been used. What would have been a positive outcome for your situation?

In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.

Part II:

Can’t submit until later today. Not ready for submission at the moment.

Part III (Not due until Sunday, March 9, 2014):

You have probably noticed in your educational career that some people are very good at remembering facts and therefore do well at tests that require memorization. Other students, on the other hand, struggle with tests that require memorization.  To understand how memory works, this exercise will ask you to trace the memory system – from the stimuli to long-term memory.

Use your text book and research from the Internet to learn the process of memory – from beginning to end. Your description should include the following:

  • Identification and description of each step in the human memory model. As you describe these steps, use an example to illustrate the process
  • Discussion of factors that enhance or impede information flow in each step of the process
  • Explanation of proactive and retroactive interference and how you might counteract their effects while studying in order to facilitate maximum retention via long-term memory
  • Explanation of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval

Submit this in the form of a 2 -3 page paper. You can use illustrations to demonstrate the process.    Be sure to document your references using the APA format.
