Refer to your notes and your text book chapter 7 on memory.
Discuss the following:
(1) What makes H.M. unusual?
(2) What aspects of his memory still work?
(3) Imagine if you went to bed tonight and then woke up ten
years older, with no memory of what had happened in between
now and then. How would this affect you? How would it affect
your friends and family who did remember everything?
(4) What does this show us about the importance of memory?

Graded Class Discussion Topics
Has release conditions.
Psy 201 Students:
1) Read the directions and questions for each discussion.
2) Read the appropriate chapters in our text book that provide
information on the topic being discussed. These chapters also
explain key terms, like "Dopamine" and "Hippocampus."

2. (3) Write like you are explaining the subject to someone who is
in college, but has not taken this Psychology course yet. Yes,
your instructor knows what the topic is about; but your
instructor does not know if you understand the concepts if you
do not explain them. This should be at least a full paragraph.
4) Use correct grammar, spelling, capitalization, and
punctuation. English 100 is a prereq for this course, so you
should know how to write. These discussion forums are NOT
social media posts. They are for a grade. That makes clarity
important. If your instructor cannot tell where one idea ends
and the next begins, they might miss the point you are trying to
make. On the bottom right of the box you write your post in,
there is a spellcheck button. It has a capital A over a check
mark. While this will not catch homophones, like two, to, and
too, it will help.
5) Reply to posts created by at least two other students. These
replies do not need to be as long as the original post, but should
relate to the content the other students posted about. (This is
not a writing critique. Do not point out grammatical or spelling
errors to your fellow students. Your instructor will do that
privately in the grading.) You may agree or disagree with
another student, but keep the discussion academic and
respectful of others. Use facts to back up your statements.
