Answer these three questions and turn in your printouts.
1. Find this article using PsychINFO. Download the pdf. Print the first page of the article using the lab printer.
Generalized anxiety following unintended pregnancies resolved through childbirth and abortion: A cohort study of the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth. Cougle, Jesse R.; Reardon, David C.; Coleman, Priscilla K.; Journal of Anxiety Disorders, Vol 19(1), 2005. pp. 137-142.
2. Use PsychINFO to find this article:
Sakamoto, Y., & Love, B. C. (2004) Schematic Influences on Category Learning and Recognition Memory. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 133, 534-553.
Try to print the first page of this article. Unless you have better luck than me, you can't! Unfortunately, articles published by the APA must be downloaded from PsyARTICLES. Go to:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/indexes/p.html
to download the pdf and print the first page of this article.
3. Whose is your TA and where did they go to school before UT?
