Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Memory and emotion

Any feedback would be much appreciated - Thanks in advance :)

Feedback
Hey! So I really like the 'quick facts' and the quiz at the end, I think they really add to the chapter and make it easy to grasp an understanding of the concepts. I would probably suggest that for the trauma section and the section regarding PTSD you should add case studies and empirical evidence, I remember Phineas Gage experienced different emotions and a change in emotions after his industrial accident. Other than that, I really like the layout :) Good luck with it! Pheonix (discuss • contribs) 05:01, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Depression and memory
Hi there, we were discussing in tutorials last week the role of depression in memory. There was consensus that this had more to do with poor concentration than another mechanism of memory, so i thought i would forward a few articles to you that I found interesting that shows other more complex factors. Not sure if these will be useful in your chapter but if you choose to venture this idea of 'overgeneral autobiographical memory' these may be helpful starting points

smell, music and memory and emotion
i was just thinking, when people smell certain scents this triggers the memory of that smell and the emotional response to that smell also with music, music from a certain time period in a persons life can bring back memories and emotions of that point in their lives. you should incorporate that into your chapter, would make for a really interesting read. <3 --Kerrington (discuss • contribs) 11:33, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey! What an awesome chapter!! I really like the quick facts part as well as the quiz, I found it helped ingrain what I'd learned! I changed a spelling error that I found, but it seems like you're definitely on the right track! EmmaP (discuss • contribs) 16:02, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Links to Wikipedia
Great to see the way this chapters links key words to Wikipedia articles. To improve those links, change them from external to internal links (e.g., Emotion). Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:08, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Long quotes?
Some of the latter paragraphs appear to be long quotes? -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:12, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Fun facts - Smell and emotion
Love this - could go well into a side box with a picture. Particularly like the way this links to another book chapter too. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:13, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

found something else!
hey! thanks for your contribution to my self-serving bias section! i just found this neat little short term memory test that i thought you could look at/use potentially

http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/stm0.html Ive edited your STM and LTM sections to help you out a little bit because you did such a good job of helping me! :) Also, im not sure if numbering your reference list is correct. James has said to try to keep it as close to APA formatting as wiki will allow, so i would take out the numbering because it isnt APA. :) --Kerrington (discuss • contribs) 04:23, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
