Hi there! Your structure looks like your are going to write a wikipedia article. Don't forget that this is an introduction to a book and requires 500 words. If you have more questions just look on the main page at 'student stuff' or at the discussion site! Or just ask me.. Iroewer


The pictures made on paint are not very clear and amateurish in design, maybe someone could consider remaking them to more clearly convey their information - benmatthews90


uhm, where is your reference section? --Thkruege 21:22, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


Wo ist denn euer Text??? Gruppen wie 'Overall Structure' und 'Crossreferences' sind abhaengig davon, dass euer Text, auch wenn er noch nicht ganz fertig ist, schon ins Internet ladet!! Es waere auch moeglich gewesen noch ein Review zu bekommen bzw. dass andere auch von ausserhalb ihren Anteil liefern. Das ist ja der eigentliche Sinn an solchen Projekten!!

[edit] some sources

Atkinson, R., & Shiffrin, R. (1968). Human memory: A proposed system and its control processes. In K Spence & J Spence (Eds.). The psychology of learning and motivation: Advances in research and theory (Vol. 2). New York: Academic Press.

The Wikipedia article for Atkinson-Shiffrin theory says, "As the oldest and simplest model, this is often the model used in introductory courses, but can no longer be considered entirely accurate or comprehensive."

This book puts the Atkinson-Shiffrin theory into historical context. Alan Baddeley provides a good example of how a psychologist can discuss memory without using the term "sensory memory" and insted use other terms such as "immediate memory". The book "Memory: From Mind to Molecules" by Squire and Kandel also gets along just fine using the term "immediate memory" rather than "sensory memory".

The article "The past, the future and the biology of memory storage" by Kandel and Pittenger provides another review of the history of memory research and categorization of types of memory.
