Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
to ensure that no assignment slips away unnoticed is to ensure that all are listed in a central location that I check regularly. This simple approach works well enough,
but only as long as I make a conscious effort to remember where the list is at all times. Many others have complained that they make lists because they
cannot trust their memories, then lose the lists and have no clue of what they had scheduled for themselves. The electronic environment assists in maintaining such a list, but
only to the extent that everything fits into the electronic form, including the location of the individual needing the list reminder. Memory Improvement Experiment
The electronic environment also does not provide any visual cues that could enhance memory of such lists. Colley, Ball, Kirby, Harvey and Vingelen (2003) report on a study
addressing the ability to remember rather generic lists. The study group was evenly divided according to gender, and women were found to perform better than men in remembering the
items on basic lists, which were headed either "grocery" or "hardware." It made no difference, according to the researchers, which list each gender group was working with at any
specific time during the study. Women remembered hardware lists with as much ease as they remembered grocery lists. Even though women outperformed
men at the task of recalling items listed as part of the study, the researchers concluded that effort made the difference in gender-based performance results. Kargopoulos, Bablekou, Gonida and
Kiosseoglou (2003) report that visual cues appear to be beneficial in recall of "both short- and long-term retention of information" (p. 415). Again, women performed better than men during
