Today we started to discuss how we might define memory. We looked at the case of Clive Wearing with severe anterograde amnesia. The video we watched is here and some other info, including Clive's history, is here.
We also carried out an experiment into the duration of short term memory with some interesting results. We then ventured into research methods for the first time and defined aims, hypotheses (directional & non-directional) and dependent and independent variables. You must know these terms. The powerpoints used are here and here (you'll be relieved to know you can ignore the last two slides of the second powerpoint).
