Your set work is to take one of the processes of memory that we have looked at (duration, capacity or encoding) and design a presentation to teach it to year 10 students. The presentation should obviously include an explanation of the concept, but should also include a description of a research study, and a plan to carry it out with the students (as I did with you in class). You'll need to put your instructions to your 'participants' in to the presentation, and include the results and conclusions from the original study - make sure to include an explanation of how/why the researchers came to that conclusion.
You can do this in pairs; please email it to me when you have finished it.
If you have missed lessons since Christmas I would encourage you to use the lesson time to make sure you are fully up to date on the notes so far.
Next week we will move on to looking at models of memory, starting with Atkinson and Schiffrin's multistore model.
