Objective: Submit a reaction paper on the topic of Working Memory Abilities in Clinical Populations presented in your textbook on pages 80-82 (10th edition).
Assignment Guidelines:
Length and Structure:
The paper must be a minimum of 500 words.
Structure your paper into two distinct paragraphs: (1) Synopsis and (2) Reaction.
Synopsis Paragraph:
The first paragraph (synopsis) should summarize the material from the assigned pages using your own words.
Reference the assigned reading in the textbook with the appropriate APA citation (e.g., Farmer & Matlin, 2019, p. xxx).
Reaction Paragraph:
The second paragraph (reaction) should express your thoughts and insights on the material.
Formulate your reaction in the form of questions or comments that go beyond simple comprehension (e.g., “Concept X states…, but I disagree because…”).
Avoid overly simple questions that can be answered within the text itself.
Ensure your reaction is specific to the assigned reading to avoid penalty points.

Farmer, T. A., & Matlin, M. W. (2019). Cognition. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.
