December 3: Memory Construction and More

1) Neuron Note. You read answers from last year's Neuron Note and you wrote a new question based on textbook reading on memory. I'll be back on top of your own questions next week.

2) Scientific American Frontiers "Don't Forget" We watched the rest of this video. It covered a study on a man with a super hippocampus who can remember faces, importance of emotions and amygdala with memory, Elizabeth Loftus and how our memories are not accurate, and new research on Alzheimer's.

3) Memory Construction: I shared some more information on Elizabeth Loftus, I gave some websites that might be of interest, and I passed out an interview of her.

4) "Memory Pill" article from Newsweek: You had time to read this.

Assignments:

1) Start chapter 10.

2) Chapters 9 and 10 test is Tuesday, December 11th.
