To accomplish this task you need to first read a little about hypertext in some of the sources given in the syllabus for this class meeting. Then you need to learn enough about HTML to build a basic page through reading some of the sources provided in the learning html link from our home site. Searching for relevant educational sites can begin from the search engines listed or some of the sites included in the introductory web readings.

1. Do the memory experiment that resides on the hard drive at Psychology Programs/ method of loci. Double click on the diamond-with-a-writing-hand icon called method_of_loci. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Each word will be displayed for a few seconds, then replaced by the next word until 20 have been presented. There are two conditions with different instruction sets, so you'll be trying to remember a total of 40 words in the experiment. To look at your data when you've finished double click on the file "your name".dat. Email me your data file when you're done.
2. Look at the responses to last week's assignment. The page collating your responses is available here.

Open Lab 0f 2/20

1. Enter your Bartlett data. Someone else's data will probably be entered into the text boxes; simply delete those entries and add your own. When you've entered all of your reproductions of the story, click on the "Add Data to Class HTML File" button. You can view the current class data file by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page. If you do this, and your data set does not come up click on the Reload button on the Netscape menu. Be careful not to submit your data more than once.
2. Take a look at the graph of last week's data. This could be incorporated into any memory class paper.
3. Add something to the class comments on the paper topics. Only one brave soul has taken the plunge so far.
4. Work on your HTML skills. One possibility is to work on image design and incorporation, following the suggestions in the Making Images section of our course home page. Later in the semester I'll ask you to design a cognitively appropriate navigation tool that will rely on images, so if you have some time now it would be helpful to start working with web images.

1. Discussion of the Bartlett Data. We postphoned our discussion of chapter 5 of Bartlett from Tuesday's class. Today I'd like you to look through the data set, comparing our class versions to the original, emphasizing the points Bartlett draws out in his discussion of the original data.
   Click here to view the (almost) complete data set.
2. Do the Wason selection task.
3. Try the THOG
4. Read the Scientific American article on visual organization of material, and take a look at the Dynamic Diagrams site.

1. I've selected some good web resources for the exploration of visual thinking. Enjoy the trip.
2. Solving Puzzles I've entered some classic problems that benefit from visualizing a solution. To look at a possible visualization of the solution click on the eye icon below the puzzle.

   Today we have a small site to investigate. It addresses the topic of generating navigational tools for your site. Web Tips.

   Second Class Paper and Conference Assignment

   I want everyone to produce a web site of their own on their conference topic. We will devote the rest of our labs to working on these sites. The second class paper assignment represents a step along the way. For that paper I want you to prepare a web document on the seminar topic that is most closely linked to your conference topic. This document should consist of a commentary on the class readings and discussion, an annotated web bibliography (in the style I used for some of the lab assignments), and a more extensive reference list than I provided in the syllabus. Everyone should talk to me about the best match between their conference topic and the seminar topic covered in the class paper. The second class paper is due April 24th.

   Sorry. I am not able to be in lab today. Call me at home if you have any difficulties --- Elizabeth
