Option 1

 * Cognition
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article was written well, the definition is understandable and goes further into detail when explaining the different processes. In addition it also mentions how this topic not only relates to psychology but other fields. Although, this article does have section in where it mainly talks about how this relates to psychology in further detail. In addition. not only does it give back ground on the words definition, but talks about early studies and early theorist. The sources look pretty reliable.

 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is well written because it talks about the definition of working memory but it also talks about the history and different theories circulating the concept.With that being said, the theories are well explained. In addition, it mentions the connection it has with long term memory. Not only does it touch on the history and capacity, but it also explains very well its impact on developing in different stages in life. This article uses many different articles around 160 and them seem to be reliable.

Option 3

 * Long Term Memory
 * Article Evaluation
 * I believe this article was going off a lot of information, although I also noticed that not all of the information was not cited. There are a very few little sources involved, so there can be opportunity to add more sources. Although the article did hold information that was relevant to the topic.

Option 5

 * This article is filled with a lot of information, although the citation could be better. With that being said, this article covers the definition and the different stages. It also includes different theories, but I feel like there could be more information added to those sections.
