I am not even sure if I completed this assignment correctly because I was unsure if I still needed to search the topic we have been researching all semester or pick three different topics and three different databases. Either way, something was completed. I picked the databases, fine art, biology and education because I thought it would be neat to see what other subject areas are finding on the topic. One thing I noticed while researching is even though I started on a database meant for education or biology, I was still generally pulled to journals involving psychology, which made me feel like I was doing the assignment wrong.

  1. Hi Amanda, you were right to look for articles on your research question (sorry that wasn't clear in the assignment)and it's okay that the different databases kind of pushed you back towards psychology. That doesn't surprise me with this topic, but since you are interested in learning and memory you might want to keep looking in Education Full Text to see if there is anything on synesthesia in education journals. Your citations are all missing page numbers, but are fine except for that--thank you for including the DOIs. The assignment also asked that you say something about how each discipline relates to your topic.--Sam
