More time, but you need to get something entered by Friday
I know you are going with Krech. Please try to work on Assignment 6 and enter some content for me to review by Friday. J.R. Council (talk) 03:53, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Tristen's questions
there isn't a lot of information on selective amnesia, specifically, so could we possibly do just amnesia? Another question I have is how developed do you want this page to be by the end of the semester? There is no previous information on the page, so we are starting from scratch.
 * I remember when you first chose this article that I was concerned there might not be that much material. Amnesia is not an option, since the current article is very developed already. If you simply can't find enough information to add much to what is already there, you might want to change topics. Let me know what you want to do. J.R. Council (talk) 07:00, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

the two article i found didn't explained well for selective amnesia. One question I have so long there lots of information found in our topic, is it possible we can change or may be do one of the two types of amnesia  we covered in class Retrograde amnesia or anterograde Amnesia?? Do you think its possible we will have good article by the end of this project if we stick on our current topic: selective amnesia??2001:4930:76:0:B501:60A1:B866:7E1F (talk) 20:59, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

 * I commented on this to Tristan above. If there are other topics having to do with amnesia that are not covered well on Wikipedia, check out references available for those topics. You could also switch to an entirely different topic. If you are going to switch, sooner is better than later. J.R. Council (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

You need to start working on this
Tristen and Najma - this assignment is worth 25 points. It does require some effort, so you need to start working on it now. J.R. Council (talk) 03:25, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

David Krech's Contributions David Krech's research focused on the brain, biochemistry and behavior. He was most interested in how to improve memory in learning and other tasks that required a good memory. He also thought his research could potentially improve the intelligence of some. Concerns about the ethics of this type of research soon rose and put a road block in Krech's research (Lusk, 2013). Krech was one of the first experimental psychologists to initiate research regarding the brain and memory, as well as having on of the first enriched environment labs at Berkeley, that are still being seen in today's labs (Lusk, 2013). Krech was one of the first experimental psychologists and is most noted for his research regarding the brain, behavior and biochemistry. Psych2015 (talk) 03:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Dr. Council's comments on Assignment 7
This is a start, but by not fulfilling the requirements for this assignment, you have lost points. Back on March 10, I emailed you reference information on two excellent sources of information on David Krech. I'm surprised that you did not use this. Here it is again: You can make up lost points by working hard on Assignment 8, but you need to get on it now. J.R. Council (talk) 19:16, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Here is a very good resource: Available at Main Library Stacks - 2nd Floor (BF105 .H52 ). Krech has a chapter in this. History of Psychology in Autobiography, vol. 6 (New York: Prentice-Hall, 1974), 221-250
 * Another good source on Krech is Psychologists on the March, by James Capshew. You¹ll need to get this from Inter Library Loan.
 * Please move the text for this article to the sandbox for Assignment 8! J.R. Council (talk) 02:34, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Contributions
David Krech had a life filled with different careers and moved around to many different universities to pursue his dream of becoming a professor. During his fellowship in Chicago, he was part of a study that experimented on the brains of rats. He found that cortical lesions do affect brain chemistry and there appeared to be at least two anatomically delimited cortical areas (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech was now a published brain researcher. Also, while at Chicago, he completed a study that measured "Lewinischen tension" in rats, which was discussed at Bryn Mawr in 1935 (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Psych2015 (talk) 22:52, 12 April 2015 (UTC)Krech had always wanted to be a psychology professor and in 1938 he accepted his first offer at the University of Colorado to be an assistant professor in the psychology department. He soon later found out that he was only offered an instructorship because of an anonymous letter that had been sent to the President of Boulder, complaining that Krech was a trouble maker and hard to work with (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech's introduction into social psychology came when he was offered a job to investigate why poor people were reluctant to use food stamps. He worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture researching why people who were eligible for food stamps did not take full advantage. He found that people had "too much pride" when it came to being on food stamps and it would be obvious to the community that they were poor and needed charity (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). After many years of hard work and research, Krech was finally offered a job to be an assistant professor at Swathmore (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974), and in 1948 published his first book, "Theory and Problems of Social Psychology." This book was soon revised and turned into "Individual in Society (1962)" (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech soon went back to his roots at Berkeley and continued to publish his works on perception and personality (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Psych2015 (talk) 15:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Influences
David Krech was weighing his options when he began his undergrad at NYU. He was inspired by Sinclair Lewis's "Arrowsmith," and thought a scientist would be an exciting and rewarding career (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech was also inspired by Supreme Court Justice Brandeis and thought that practicing law would be a breeze with the workload being something he is familiar with and good at. After weighing his options, Krech decided to enroll in prelaw at NYU with the hopes of becoming a Supreme Court Justice (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). During his sophomore year of college is when he took his first introductory psychology class and was fascinated. William Darby Glenn was his professor and guided him down the path of becoming a convinced behaviorist (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). Krech decided to go back to Berkeley after 5 years at NYU, and collaborated with three different psychologists on three different experiments, which were soon published (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974). He worked with Egerton L. Ballachey, Jack Buel, Edwin E. Ghiselli, Calvin Hall, James A. Hamilton, Charles Honzik, John Jorowitz, and Esther Robinson, in which they formed a group called the "nuclear educational group," in which they worked together to collaborate ideas as well as talked about other psychology related topics (MacCorquodale, Lindzey, & Clark, 1974).

This is still a long way from being ready to publish
I can see where Tristen has added some new material from the reference I suggested. However, there really is very little at this point that has been added to the article. If you are struggling, please let me know how I can help. However, I can not write this for you. J.R. Council (talk) 04:53, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The statement above could have been misinterpreted to say don't add anything. I hope I've made it clearer. You NEED to add more material to get points for this assignment. J.R. Council (talk) 16:18, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

What needs to be done
If you want to complete this assignment successfully, at the least you'll need to move the article to the sandbox, organize the material properly, do the references correctly. This can be done by the deadline, but you'll have to put some effort into it. J.R. Council (talk) 16:23, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Not suitable for publication
Sorry, but this article is not ready to publish. I can work with you to move some of the content to the Krech article, though. J.R. Council (talk) 19:09, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
