Title of Paper Goes Here And I Will Also Add Here the Unnecessary Words APA Format Sixth Edition Template So the Document Will Come Up in Searches
Paul Rose
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

Author Note A brief author note (which should not be included in papers submitted in Paul Rose’s classes) goes here. It may include acknowledgment of funding sources, expressions of gratitude to research assistants and contact information for the author who will handle requests. I have a few notes of my own to share here. First, I am very grateful to everyone who has emailed me with suggested improvements; I’m sorry I can’t acknowledge you all here. Second, you are hereby granted permission to use this document for learning and research purposes. You may not sell this document either by itself or in combination with other products or services. Third, if you use this document, you use it at your own risk. The document’s accuracy and safety have been thoroughly evaluated, but they are not guaranteed. Fourth, if you find this document helpful, I don’t want your money, but I (Paul Rose, Department of Psychology, SIUE) would be grateful if you would click on this URL: http://goo.gl/DGHoZ. It directs to a harmless Department of Psychology web page at SIUE, but what is more important is that it records click-through data that give me an idea of how many people have found this document helpful. Thanks!
Abstract
An abstract is a single paragraph, without indentation, that summarizes the key points of the manuscript in 150 to 250 words. For simpler papers in Paul Rose’s classes, a somewhat shorter abstract is fine. The purpose of the abstract is to provide the reader with a brief overview of the paper. When in doubt about a rule, check the sixth edition APA manual rather than relying on this template. (I prefer only one space after a period, but two spaces are suggested by the sixth-edition APA manual at the top of page 88.) This

    As Will Rogers once said, “You never know how much a man can’t remember until he is called as a witness.” Human memory serves many purposes in people’s past, present, and future. Memory and the images contained in it help people to conduct the daily routines of life that are required for basic survival. It also aids in times of great sorrow when dealing with the loss of a loved one. Without memory, people would not be able to write, speak, navigate, or have personal relationships. (Foster) However, memory plays a crucial role in the legal system, and the apprehension and possible conviction of suspects who have committed unthinkable crimes. Such emotional memories are usually vivid and often very precise. Even still, it is certain that at least some emotional memories do contain errors, and some may be wrong all together. The accuracy of emotional memories must be tested and not assumed accurate. At the center of this debate over emotional memories is “flashbulb memories.” Flashbulb recollections tend to be extraordinarily vivid and detailed, and are recalled with much confidence and accuracy. However, it can also be wrong. Therefore, memory vividness and confidence during eyewitness testimony cannot be associated with accuracy. (Reisberg)…
