Make the Connection!

Hi Everyone!

Scientific American has an article "Why Is Memory So Good and So Bad" by Julian De Freitas. In this article it explains some recent research including a review in which Harvard and MIT researchers reinforces past conclusions that hving "meaning" is what enhances memories. If you recall Herman Ebbinghaus' research also concluded this. So try to connect or "hook" the new information you are trying to remember to your pre-existing stored memories.

Gender Differences in Depression

Hi Everyone!

This is a short (3:33m) video where Dr. Brizendine explains the gender differences in depression and extends upon Dr. Tannen's Gender Communication differences. Dr. Brizendine explains how women overlap or finish each other's sentences and men think we are interrupting when we do this but it is just a gender difference in communication.
