For example, what are the processes involved in storing information in long-term memory. These maps will be designed to allow for active review and rehearsal by the student, and it will call upon them to apply the concepts to their own lives. Coglab's Online Manual will be specific to Goldstein, and organized in the ordering of Goldstein's chapters. Each experiment will provide a setup for the experiment, instructions on what to do to participate in the experiment, and there will be specific review questions at a basic, advanced level, together with more advanced discussion questions that are tailored specifically to Goldstein's book.
