IRP again; memory

Hi all,

We're well underway with the topic of memory now - nearly finished it in fact. Well done on all the hard work, good homework tasks and practical work too. Next week we'll be looking at the last sub-topic, memory improvement strategies and mnemonics, which is always good fun.

I had mentioned before that your presentation topics could make IRP topics. It is worth noting that a topic such as 'schizophrenia' would lend itself to purely reading-based type of research. In contrast, some of the memory tasks we have done recently might give you an idea of how you could do an IRP based around a psychology experiment.

If you have a vague idea of something you'd like to do along these lines but haven't yet got a specific topic, why not email me about it.

Atypical Behaviour again; IRP

Well done on all today's presentations - there really has been some excellent work done on these topics - good research, and good quality of presentation too.

I will keep the posters to display in the future, but it occurred to me that the PPTs don't benefit from this. For this reason I intend to gather together as many as possible, and put them into a shared network folder for other students to view at their leisure.

I mentioned in the previous post that some aspect of the Atypical Behaviour topics could give rise to an IRP topic. Another possibility to bear in mind for the IRP could be doing something more experimental, along the lines of some of the memory experiments we have done so far, followed by a write-up.
