For this experimental task I decided to use my uncle and my cousin. I decided to use different ages because I thought that it would be interesting to see if the brain that isn't fully developed didn't remember as much as the fully developed brain. My uncle remembered a total of 13 words altogether from both lists, while my cousin remembered 15 words. However my uncle remembered the middle last and first words of each list when my cousin could only remember one of the fist words from the first list. My uncle showed the “primacy” and “recency” effects. While I was asking my family members to remember these words we sat at the dinner table with no distractions while I was reading the words in order to make it easier for them to remember. I found it very interesting that my younger cousin got side tracked for a minute but then was still able to continue to write down words as he remembered them. Neither of my family members wrote down words that were not on the list which I also thought was interesting because there were a lot of words that were similar with one another. My cousin and uncle both found this task a lot more difficult than they thought it would be. They also were both shocked with how long the second list of words were.

I couldn't pass up his this opportunity so I decided to pack my bags and come play golf for him at HSU. I had to leave a lot back home to be able to come here but so far I think that it was worth it. Back home I lived with my parents and my little brother. My brother is 15 years old, and is currently a freshman in high school. Most of my family is from a small town in Nebraska called Grand Island, however i have one pair of grandparents that live in Las Vegas with us. We have two puppy Yorkie Terriers named Bogey and Ace (these are golf terms that are complete opposites just like their personalities). It has b...
