Applied Cognition

Short Term Memory, Recognition, Mnemonicizer, Human Memory, Interference
A lot of these experiments teach little things about us we definitely don't realize. The one I liked the most is the Recognition one. Mostly because it took me three tries and I swore I knew the correct one. However, I didn't. In this chapter it discussed quite a bit about these types of things and the experiments, I think, helped out more. Some ways I can apply what I have learned in my life is for instance being more observant. Our minds are pretty efficient at what they do however when we see things often we don't always pay attention to the little things. I could use that a lot in studying. Analyze the work more carefully and pay closer attention to the details that may have importance. Also some people are better at visual things than other sensational things. When I give directions for instance I try to include landscapes that stick out.
In a general overview I thought these online activities showed a good representation of all the parts dealing with memory.
