\mytitle{Memory; Continued}{\gp}

Today, continued our studies on memory. Today's class wasn't an average note
taking day, but rather another class where we got to participate by completing
tests which accessed our memory.

One of the tests which we completed today was quite a planned one; the professor
had a image up on the projector in the beginning of the class which she quickly
removed as soon as the class had commenced. After chugging through most of
class, she had asked us at the very end what items we could remember from the
image. Promptly, we, the class, named a few items which were there, but also a
few items which were not in the image, for example, there were no books in the
image. The professor then informed us that this was a test to access our bias/
schema for settings which we observed, but had not paid full attention to. Of
course, the topic of todays lecture was about bias and schemas in memory, so
this really hammered in the nail for us.

We were also asked to recall a "effect" which occurs when attempting to remember
multiple items in a set. None of us could, which also set in stone the effect
and how it applies to the real world. The serial-position effect along with
recency and primacy effects were what we had been taught towards the middle of
our lecture on Tuesday, and it was also the effect which we had all experienced
today.

Finally, we were all reminded about our assignments, exams, and quizzes which
were due next week on Monday towards the very end of class.

Overall, today was a fun, informative, and applicable day which gave real-life
examples of the very subject we are learning presently.
