Overview These labs explore the nature of long-term memory, including how to best harness it (the Encoding Specificity and Levels of Processing labs). However, the very tendencies that make it successful can lead to its fallibility in some situations (False Memory lab). Prompt Complete...
Overview These labs demonstrate how logic is not always intuitive (as demonstrated by the Monty Hall problem) and how reasoning can be altered by the way questions are framed (as you will see during the Risky Decisions lab). You will also find out how...
Overview Now that we have seen how we can focus on specific stimuli in our environment, we can reap the benefits of paying attention. The next stage along our journey into the mind is short-term memory. More accurately, we should probably designate it as...
