You have reached the end of the word list. Please quietly signal Dr. Ferguson and give him your answer sheet. Then, when you have finished reading these directions, click on the link below to view a video about memory. Be sure to use your headphones or ear buds so the audio doesn’t distract the other students.
As you watch the video, please use a new sheet of paper to note anything you see in the video that is new to you…anything about memory you have not already encountered in class or in our textbook.
When the video ends, return to this PowerPoint and proceed to the next screen.
