Article Critique Corrigan, P. W., Green, A., Lundin, R., Kubiak, M. A., & Penn, D. L. (2001). Familiarity with and social distance from people who have serious mental illness. Psychiatric Services, 52(7), 953-958. What type of article is this? The article written by Corrigan, Green, Lundin, Kubiak & Penn (2001) is quantitative in nature and an example of a correlational study as it seeks to describe relationships between several variables?namely familiarity with mental illness, social distance and the person?s perception of dangerousness and fear. Correlational studies, while measuring a variety of variables, cannot determine whether a cause and effect relationship exists, only that one variable (or several variables) may have an association with another.

Process of memory begins with encoding. Attention is inherently selective and has been compared to a filter According to levels of processing theory, the kinds of memory codes people create depend on which aspects of a stimulus are emphasized deeper processing results in better recall of information. Structural, phonemic, and semantic encoding represent progressively deeper and more effective levels of processing Elaboration enriches encoding by linking stimulus to other info. Visual imagery may work in much the same way creating two memory codes rather than just one, encoding that emphasizes personal self-reference may be especially useful in facilitating retention
