The effect of nutrient supplementation on memory improvement

Research Proposal

Topic: Cognitive Psychology

Human memory is fallible. Rather than being like a recording of events experienced, our memories are vulnerable to errors due to such phenomena as forgetting. The impact of forgetting varies from not remembering where you left your car keys, struggling to recall a question on an exam to more serious implications relating to early onset dementia. In recent times, interventions designed to boost memory performance represent a growing multibillion- dollar industry.

Design a study to test an intervention that can improve either long term or working memory performance in humans. Be sure to develop a study that is ethically feasible.
