Talk:Reminiscence bump

Relationship with primacy effect

What is the relationship with the primacy effect, if any? -- Beland (talk) 04:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Edits

Having gone through articles for the topic, we have decided that the methodology section of the article needs an update. The current methodology section gives a history lesson on the researchers of the reminiscence bump, but does not go into detail about the important methods such as the cue-words, the Galton-Crovitz tests, TST, etc.

We also found that a lot of our research had more descriptive graphs than displayed on this current article. We plan on adding more graphs to the page so that there is a better visual understanding of the reminiscence bump. There were more reminiscence bump studies done on different cultures than the current article mentions. African, Danish, and Asian people were all participants in recent studies of the reminiscence bump, so we plan on updating the culture part of the article as well.

There is also a lot of case studies done on the reminiscence bump and its relation to life scripts and life stories. We are planning to add a new section that will include information from these articles.

Editing

I'm impressed by the variety of results corresponding to the reminiscence bump that were incorporated into the article. I also am impressed by the explanations of methodology. I would propose moving the theories section to the end, because it ties things together nicely. I would also propose making graphs of the general results for many of the articles in excel and incorporate those into the article. It is always nice to have that visual, especially when the actual article isn't handy for the reader. Finally, I would suggest condensing the 'life scripts' and the 'brain damage' sections, because they get a little wordy, when I think a few sentences (like the other sections) is more effective at getting the point across. Great work to whoever has been editing this article! The reminiscence bump is fascinating stuff, and I'm glad the wiki page for it is so thorough!
