Brief Description: This German article focuses on forgetting. Psychologists had a previous understanding that the repeated retrieval of certain previously-studied information could actually cause one to forget the remaining related but non-retrieved material. They then completed further experiments to determine whether the emotions tied to the studied material made a difference in the amount forgotten, more specifically, they were interested in knowing if we are more likely to forget material tied to negative emotions. Further still, they were interested in discovering if the intensity of the emotion played into effect and continued to study their ideas.

Brief Description: In reading the eighth chapter of this psychology book titled, "Memory," I learned a great deal about the different types of memory, the processes in which our brains store and retrieve memories, and about forgetting. Though much of what I would like to focus on in my paper has to do with the act of forgetting, knowledge and explanations of memory are needed. One does not exist without the other. Because this source is a textbook rather than an article, the information covered a wider variety of aspects without going into lengthy detail or elaboration on any single idea. However, this is still a very useful and important source as it provides background knowledge with which I can form a solid base to build from.

Wow-I spent way too much time reading through these, but that's a good thing! I think you've gathered a lot of interesting research here, and it seems like you are working through the sources well. (I'm glad you are including citations and summaries-this will help you later.) It seems as though you are finding a lot of information on forgotten memories. Are you going to focus in specifically on older memory loss, relating with Alzheimer's, or trauma memory loss, or just memory loss in general? I think this is still a big topic with lots of information, so I want to make sure you have a handle of what you most want to know about this topic, which I'm sure you've already thought about. I'm excited to see how this project develops-it seems like you have a lot of intriguing information already.
