3074.2 Learning through reflective practice, Kingfa Sintoovongse, Faculty of Education, Khon
Kaen University, Thailand
The purposes of this study were to explore and demonstrate how reflective practice can be
incorporated into the process of a student-centered approach and to introduce the learning and
teaching model constructed on the basis of the findings derived from this study. The context of this
research was in those classes where the researcher taught during the academic year 2001-2002.The
students engaged in the learning activities emphasizing reflective practice. The findings showed
that the learning climate and the teaching and learning procedure should include three phases and
the details are presented in the study.

We wanted to determine the impact of sex on episodic memory and whether potential sex
differences varied as a function of age and the material to be remembered. Preliminary analyses
from 163 studies showed reliable sex differences in episodic memory. These differences varied as
a function of the material, so that women excelled in episodic memory tasks using verbal
information, faces (d=.26), objects, and verbal pictures, whereas no sex differences were observed
in tasks using non-verbal pictures. Men excelled in episodic memory tasks requiring orientation.
Age had a negligible effect on the results.
3074.4 Gender differneces in autobiographical memory: Are the real or artifactual? Penelope
Jane Davis, Deanna Pitchford, Griffith University, Australia
ender differences are rarely apparent in experimental studies of memory, yet they are robust in
autobiographical memory. Why? Many experiences of women could simply be more memorable
or there may be differences in how autobiographical events are processed and represented in
memory. To investigate this, memories of real-life emotional experiences, unique to individuals,
were compared with flashbulb memories of the same event; namely, the circumstances in which
one learned of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Women reported more detailed memories of both
kinds of autobiographical events, suggesting that the enhanced recall of women reflects greater
elaborative processing of events themselves.

Xiaolan Fu, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
Object concepts mediate objects in real world and their categorical information in human memory.
They are context-sensitive constructions in working memory when activated. We hypothesized
that man-made object concepts are more context-dependent than living things because man-made
