Talk:Psychological refractory period

Untitled
This obviously has to be rewritten in encyclopedic form. I can't find a simple explanation I can use to write it, so if there's someone who knows where to find the sources, hopefully they can tackle it.  Citi Cat   ♫ 03:16, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I just want to mention a good reference for this is the McCann and Johnston (1992). You can probably find some other citations from it for all the terms used here. (Anonymous, September 2011). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.236.20 (talk) 15:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

That will result in the following banner (and make the articles easy to track):

Sara Garcia and Eyyuphan Keskin from Davidson College will begin editing this article within the next couple of weeks.

For our editing of the psychological refractory period on wikipedia, we noticed that not only is the articles rather short, but it also focuses on one aspect of the psychological refractory period. The only example which is highlighted was one that only applied to the confounds of a laboratory. However, after looking at articles about this topic on Psych Articles we found that this topic applies to several different realms that do not only take place in a laboratory, but also in the surrounding environments. We wish to evaluate earlier research works such as the one noted in our textbook by Pashler (1992) as well as Lien Ruthruff & Johnston (2006) - about the PRP. – I have yet to find these articles via the psych articles database, but I will be scheduling a private consultation with one of the librarians in order to retrieve it. Other subtopics of the PRP we hope to evaluate would include how it relates to the understanding of short term memory, learning words and spelling and reading, driving,  gambling, alcohol and caffeine, and aging. We hope to start with the general understanding of the topic, and then expand its definition to show how it relates to all of the above situations noting important researchers and models that may run counter to this model as well. We hope to follow the general format of other more established Wikipedia articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sara Frances Garcia (talk • contribs) 16:52, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Sara Garcia and Eyyupan Keskin have made some changes to this article. We attempted to explain the topic of PRP and relate the PRP paradigm to many fields of research. We evaluated research on Personality, Learning, Driving, Drinking, and Aging. We determined that these fields of research utilized the PRP paradigm to to extend their research and determine new meanings and conclusions. We will continue to polish this article and utilize the Wikipedia language. Sara Frances Garcia (talk) 23:20, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
