The impact of words on visual attention and memory

Cognitive Daily: The impact of words on visual attention and memory

Link dump: completed

Okay - the link dump that was sitting around waiting for Blogger to get out of beta testing and finally muscle up the ability to have a working posting widget is finally over. I've caught up as much as I'm going to, so now, hopefully, I can get to doing some real posting on this site.

Promises, promises....
