A review of Roediger and McDermott (1995) The study of creation of false memories has been a topic of interest since the 1930s when Bartlett (1932) conducted the first experiment on the topic.

Since Lisa enjoyed the experience of ordering stuff online and shared that with me when I was assessing her on comprehension /cultural relevant – Sitti’s
reading fluency by improving her words per minute (wpm) rate. Alyssa enjoys computerized learning and equates the computer with games. Alyssa needs repeated reading practice. The Fry phrases website I chose has number of levels so we can practice on both Alyssa’s independent reading level, as well as expose her to grade level material. The section I chose provides Fry words and phrases, but it uses them in a meaningful text sentence instead of having the words in isolation. The index flashcards

The dual coding theory holds that concrete language has the ability to activate both the verbal and the visual system, while abstract language activates only the verbal system (Clark & Paivio 1991; Kounios & Holcomb 1994).

Apply Greenfield and Smith’s analysis, based on the uses of holophrases, to this data. Remember that this analysis is focused on what a child is using their one-word utterances for, i.e. what the holophrases
