Hi Lauren, Just wanted to add a message to your talk page. Go to the course webpage and "students" and click on one of the students' userids. When you get to their user page, select talk, then edit, then do as I am doing. When you have finished with your message, be sure to type four tildes (WebFlower1 (talk) 02:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)) to end your message. Let me know if this works!

It is me again, Lauren. I forgot to tell you that you can get to the course webpage by typing in the Search box while in our account: Wikipedia:Ambassadors/Courses/PSY471History_of_Psychology(Davis)/Students
Good luck WebFlower1 (talk) 02:05, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
Word Superiority Effect Common/Important Themes o Superiority effect
• Visual and auditory effects
• Encoding and retrieval strategies
• Focus on experiments examining this
• Age as a factor
• effect of a semantic orienting task during encoding on free recall and recognition
• WSE on children vs. adolescents vs. adults
• self-reported strategy use of encoding and recalling
• episodic memory performance
• as it progresses through stages of life
• depending on education, learning
• rate of processing
• automatic vs. effortful processing
o Interaction between WSE and Attention
• Experimental paradigms
• Attentional blink, motion-induced blindness, perceptual latency priming, and visual search
• Attention: not a requirement for WSE to occur
o Visual configuration
• Effects of disruption of this
• Uppercase vs. Lowercase letters (mixed-case items)
• Word vs. nonword
o Genetic and Environmental Factors
• Affects on vocabulary and reading skills
• Word recognition
• On reading comprehension
• Depending on age (level of education)
Improvements of Structure o Better use of wording in headings
• More informative headings and subheadings needed
o Better organization of sequence of information o Needs better footnotes
• “see also” section to be improved
o adequate refrences
• with addition of mine, should be an accurate group of credible sources
o better use of citations needed For this project, I hope to add more information on how WSE is examined as well as how it is found in reading comprehension. I will incorporate heading and subheadings dealing with the processing of words and age as a factor of recall.
