How memory affects the planning of adults with Depression or Alzheimer

Comment: Adults with depression might struggle to integrate and organize information effectively. This can hinder their ability to generate and execute well-structured plans. Reduced Motivation: Depression can lead to decreased motivation and interest in activities, making it challenging to engage in complex planning tasks. The lack of motivation might result in poor execution of plans.--Maheenusman (discusscontribs) 04:06, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter. I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter.
  2. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Overview[edit source]

  1. The Overview is underdeveloped.
  2. Explain the problem or phenomenon in more detail.
  3. Add focus questions in a feature box to help guide the reader and structure the chapter.
  4. Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest.

Theory — Breadth[edit source]

  1. Promising, but insufficient use of psychological theory about this topic.
  2. Build more strongly on other memory-related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters in this category: Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Memory).

Theory — Depth[edit source]

  1. Promising but insufficient depth is provided about the selected theory(ies).
  2. Some useful examples are provided to illustrate theoretical concepts.
  3. More examples could be useful to illustrate key concepts.

Research — Key findings[edit source]

  1. Promising, but insufficient use of relevant psychological research.
  2. Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Research — Critical thinking[edit source]

  1. Insufficient critical thinking about research is evident.
  2. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. discussing the direction of relationships
    3. considering the strength of relationships
    4. acknowledging limitations
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  3. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).

Integration[edit source]

  1. There is basic integration between theory and research.

Conclusion[edit source]

  1. Basic summary.
  2. Consider reminding the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest.
  3. Address the focus questions.
  4. Add practical, take-home message(s).

Written expression — Style[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
    3. Avoid one sentence paragraphs. A paragraph should typically consist of three to five sentences.
  2. Layout
    1. See earlier comments about heading casing.
  3. Grammar
    1. Use serial commas[2] - they are part of APA style and are generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's an explanatory video (1 min).
    2. Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs individuals').[3].
  4. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour).
  5. APA style
    1. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    2. Do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    3. Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression; use quotation marks only for the first occurrence of the word or phrase, not for subsequent occurrences" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159).
    4. Figures
      1. Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text.
      2. Figure captions should use this format: Figure X. Descriptive caption in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1).
    5. Citations use correct APA style.
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Use alphabetical ordering.
      2. Check and correct use of capitalisation[4]
      3. Include hyperlinked dois
      4. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to the external links section

Written expression — Learning features[edit source]

  1. Overall, the use of learning features is insufficient.
  2. No use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Basic use of image(s).
  5. No use of table(s).
  6. Basic use of feature box(es).
  7. Basic use of quiz(zes).
  8. No use of case studies or examples.
  9. Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section.
  10. No use of external links in the "External links" section.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. No logged social contributions.

  2. A clear, basic Overview is provided.
  3. Basic coverage of relevant theory and research.
  4. The audio recording quality is low (there is a lot of white noise, some glitches, and volume needs to be turned up high) - check microphone set-up.
  5. The audio is well paced.

Social Contribution - feedback of chapter[edit source]

What is episodic memory?

  1. Explaining that episodic memory is a facet of Long-term memory can help calrify that episodic memory isn't the same as LTM
  2. Furthermore stating that episodic memory is explicit memory helps the reader be well informed of what episodic memory actually is.
  3. Although Tulving is cited, an origin of episodic memory could have been provided (Tulving, 1972), as well as Tulving's development of his episodic memory theory and how it relates to "mental time travel" (Tulving, 1985, 2002).
  4. A brief description and research in flashbulb memories could be included, just to further flesh out what makes up episodic memories. However, inclusion of types of episodic memory is inlcuded.


Suggest article for further development of book chapter[edit source]

I have found an article that i have paste below that could assist with further developing the book chapter.

https://books.google.com.au/books?hl=en&lr=&id=q5BpAgAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA217&dq=what+role+does+episodic+memory+play+in+planning%3F&ots=KicrVFDGJb&sig=ggrgsr4QrkETE-cV-Y5MsjAnK48#v=onepage&q=what%20role%20does%20episodic%20memory%20play%20in%20planning%3F&f=false

Episodic memory and future planning

  1. Brief explanation of main topic at hand
  2. Can include articles on specific emotion-related memories such as PTSD research in order to have an example of planned avoidance such as Foa et al., 1989 demonstrating that stressful events can cause memory dysfunctions as well as the amygdala being involved in fear learning from these stressful events (Harnett et al., 2020)
