PART THREE: Reflection
I really wanted to focus on using
the Boolean method with using the asterisk. At first I did not produce any
response but then I figured out I was not on Academic Search Complete but using
PubMed instead. I believe in the future I will be practicing using the asterisk
a lot because it was mind blowing to know, 1) synesthesia can be spelled in
different ways and 2) using the asterisk can produce results beyond just the
spelling of synesthesia. Meaning it can produce, synæsthesia
or synaesthesia. Another issue I had is, I wanted to be more focused
with my question. I do want to know more about how it can help with learning
but I felt I did not define the question more. This will be something I will
work on some more on in the future is brainstorming since this seems to be a
skill I have an issue with honing.
Hi Amanda, this all looks good, but I agree you might want to narrow your research question a little bit. I'm not sure if you mean learning memory as a specific skill (learning to remember things better), or remembering things you learn (remembering new information), or just memory and learning in general. If you've found one or two good articles, the language they use in their abstracts and introductions may give you clues about how memory and learning are discussed and tested. Glad to hear that the asterisk was useful (I forgot about the spelling with æ!). Pubmed might be a good place to look for stuff on synesthesia as a medical condition.--Sam
