Assessment Instructions
Preparation
Write a 56-page discussion of practical ways to apply to your life your understanding about individual differences in learning and memory. Based your discussion on three peer-reviewed research articles that help you understand individual learning differences.
Although many effects in memory and psychology in general are presented as universal applying to everyone at all times and at all places there are important differences among individuals in how they process and recall information. For instance demographic differences such as age gender and culture of origin may have an impact on how we remember; other dimensions of individual difference may be intelligence creativity and motivation. Some of these differences are related to biology others are related to the social environment and some are related to both.
As you prepare for this assessment research how one of these variables will change how people experience a learning situationfor example learning a foreign language remembering the names of people at a party or studying for a biology exam or other academic test. Think how this dimension could explain the differences between your own experiences and those of others you know.
