Senior: 11 & 12: Unit 3: Memory

The Internet is eroding our capacity for concentration and contemplation, chipping away at our ability to read and think deeply. In The Shallows, Nicholas Carr argues that every information technology, whether it's the alphabet or the map or the computer, carries an intellectual ethic - a set of assumptions about the nature of information and intelligence.

This book explores themes of sensation and perception, learning through conditioning, human memory, language and thought, intelligence and testing and motivation and emotion.
