Assignment 4

One problem with the article is that there is little to no information about the topic. There is a definition and that is about it, it is missing history, contributors, and possibly a few other. -Two references:

Questions and comment: 1.) I am a little concerned with finding information on this topic, had found a few but not sure if there is enough.

• This was a concern of mine as well. If you are digging deep and still can't find anything, it might be a good idea to switch to a new topic. J.R. Council (talk) 17:19, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

2) Besides history, definitions, symptoms and treatments are there any other sections you could suggest for us?

• If you can find information on these topics, you are doing well. As Tricia notes below, information on prevalence and cultural factors would be good if you can find it. J.R. Council (talk) 17:19, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Erin.l.anderson (talk) 04:45, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

I also agree this article is relatively short. In relation to other wiki articles talking about phobias, this one also does not include its prevalence; nor does it include if it has a cultural background. We could look into that too.TriicB12 (talk) Two References: Gellman, M.D. Turner, J.R. (2013) Encyclopedia of Behavioral Medicine.

I am very concerned about finding information from legit sources. It seems to be hard to find information on this topic even when looking into the school databases.TriicB12 (talk)

• I had suggested switching to another topic. If you are going to do this, you should decide soon. J.R. Council (talk) 17:19, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

I agree, I have tried to look at a few more sources but was unable to find more information that can be useful to our project. Do you guys think we need to reconsider our topic as this is already late? Nour.m.alabase (talk) 16:21, 28 September 2016 (UTC).

I used google scholar to search for additional information and still not sure how happy I am with the information. I found a book through google scholar but not sure how much information it will give us about Nosocomephobia First Reference: https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=Lz2OCAAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PT10&dq=Nosocomephobia&ots=71PiejVV0p&sig=Q35Pmwcf31QMxHmSh_mathcw3IM#v=onepage&q=Nosocomephobia&f=false Second Reference: Salmela, Marja, et al.

• • • The second reference was only 8 pages and I ended up typing "fear of hospitals" but was unable to get our Title topic in any of the search engine.*** I really think we should reconsider our topic. Is anyone getting more information that I might be missing out on, if so, please let me know. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 16:54, 28 September 2016 (UTC).

Erin and Tricia, I have found a little more information but only by typing " fear of hospitals". I have gotten a varity of different typics retreated to this issue, so do you guys think we should do that a pick a certain population to focus on: such as children, adult, etc? I think this will be easier to work around instead of typing out Nosocomephobia. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 13:52, 30 September 2016 (UTC).

I have still yet to find a lot of information that would be reliable most are website articles, not really journals or books. So I don't know if we should make it more specific or what we should do. Erin.l.anderson (talk) 15:45, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Time to switch topics

I think you are all doing a good job of looking up information on this topic, and still coming up dry. You should find a new topic. J.R. Council (talk) 17:19, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

• I will come back after I get done with everyone else and give you some new topics to consider. In the meantime, feel free to come up with your own new suggestions. J.R. Council (talk) 17:21, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Dr. Council. Erin and Tricia, I hope you two were able to receive Dr. Council's email regarding change of topic. Our new topic is now on Zelda Zeigarnik. I will be looking for those references and work on assignment 5. I am here to help out with anything , just let me know. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 15:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC).

Hi everyone, I did receive the email and saw what our new topic is. I will also look at references for our new topic. Erin.l.anderson (talk) 15:33, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Awesome! Thanks, Erin. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 15:53, 5 October 2016 (UTC).

To-Do List

To do list: Ok, so this is some of the things that I think we should consider on our to do list, feel free to add or change anything.

1.Find articles about person 2.Pick out important information 3.Divide information into their own sections. (make outline) 4. Write out individual sections, and continue to find information on each individual subject. 5. Make introduction that summarizes and accurately introduces subject.Triicberg12 (talk)

I think that seems like a good to-do list; I think one of the first things we should do perhaps after finding articles is decide all the sections we want in our article and then divide them out amongst us so we can just look for important information for the topic as a whole. Just so we aren't all finding the same information, if that makes sense?? Erin.l.anderson (talk) 17:38, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Updated To-Do List:

1. Find Information about the person
2. Compile references
3. Decide on sections for article
4. Divide up sections between group members
5. Write lead section that summarizes and accurately introduces subject
6. Write out individual sections and continue to find information
7. peer-revise each others sections

My comments on to-do list

• This looks good, if a bit basic. More detail would help organize the tasks better.
• I don't see any contribution from Nour.

J.R. Council (talk) 20:15, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Outline

Well there are already some subsections on the page; however, I think that this would be a good start.

Different subjects to talk about :(add more if you can)

1.Personal Life

2.Education

3.Influences

4. Career History

5. Research and Ideas/Findings

6. Awards/ Honors/ impact on modern psychologyTriicberg12 (talk)

I could do the first two sections if you guys would be fine with that? Otherwise I will do any of them. And I think this looks good as a general outline, you did a good job! once we figure out whose doing what sections, I think we should go back and add what type of information will be in our section since for the assignment he wants the outline as detailed as possible. Erin.l.anderson (talk) 17:27, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

For the Sections I was looking at examples of article done on wikipedia on people and I was thinking maybe that some of sections could be combined under one big heading, so it would still be two sections just now sub sections. It would look like this

• Lead section
• Background
  • Personal Life
  • Education
  • Career history
• Influences
• Research and contributions
  • The Zeigarnik effect
• Awards/ honors
• References

This is the same as before and the sections would still each be separated equally its just formatted different and worded differently. Also just kind of added a detail like the Zeigarnik effect that whoever wrote about Research and contributions would write about. This is just a thought, we don't have to do this. Let me know your guys thoughts! Erin.l.anderson (talk) 19:24, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Sounds good, so you wanted to do personal life and education? I will do the Zeigarnik effect and Career history. If there is anything else I should do let me know Triicberg12 (talk)

Yeah if that was alright with you guys. Sounds good! For the Zeigarnik effect I know thats one of her contributions but not really sure if she has any other major contributions so if you find any you should write about those too. If that becomes too much writing for you I can also take over the career section. Then Nour is you want to do the influences and awards/honors section?? Erin.l.anderson (talk) 01:48, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

All of this information seem great, do you guys we should still include more references to back up all of the information that we will need? Also, how do we want to split this information? Should we all work together on it or split some of it and add it? Let me know what your input is on this. Thank you! Also, my laptop crashed on Thursday, so I am trying to rework on all of the information that I have saved up to add on this page. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 21:10, 18 October 2016 (UTC).

Yeah I think we definitely could use some more references. And we should split it up definitely since it will probably be hard to all meet to work on each section together. Tricia and I already kind of talked about that alittle bit when your computer had crashed and you weren't able to get onto sandbox, would you be fine with doing influences and awards/honors ad if theres not a lot on that maybe publications? Or if theres another section you think we should have.Erin.l.anderson (talk) 14:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Comments on Outline - Dr. Council

• This is a good start. However, look over the brochure on Editing Wikipedia articles on psychology for how to organize and article about a psychologist. Also review editing commands.
• Certainly you should start the outline with what is notable about Zeigarnik.
• It's not clear whether Nour contributed to the outline, although I see her comment. Be sure to sign your work. J.R. Council (talk) 20:23, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Lead Section

Bluma Zeigarnik (27 October 1901 – 24 February 1988) was a Russian psychologist who is responsible for the Zeigarnik effect. Zeigarnik was born in Prenai, Lithuania where she lived up until she was 1922 when she began studying at the University of Berlin in the department of philosophy. She was influence by her literature professor which began her interest in psychology. Wolfgang Kőhler, Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Lewin intrigued Zeigarnik and she attended their lectures at the University of Berlin, she later began working with Lewin, She was first published with him in 1927 on interrupted task and showcased the Zeigarnik effect that made her well known. After she had graduate from the University of Berlin with a doctoral degree she returned to Russia, specifically Moscow where she worked at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity a subsection of the All-union Institute of experimental Medicine (AUIEM) and there she met her second greatest influence Lev Vygotsky. Zeigarnik at this time was working with clinical neuropsychology and later began with her central focus of medical psychology. In 1940 Zeigarnik’s husband was arrested and sent to a prison camp, she visited him throughout the time he was in there. There are very few records of Zeigarnik’s work as she did not keep many of them for her viewing them as unimportant. Towards the end of her life Zeigarnik worked at the Institute of Psychiatry as well as teaching at pathopsychology at Moscow State University. Zeigarnik had struggled with anemia for years and it was necessary for her to have blood transfusions frequently, this lead up to her death in February 24th 1988.Erin.l.anderson (talk) 03:17, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

You also did an amazing job. You have a variety of facts that I was unable find. The research seems sound, and it is put together in an easy to read and understanding way. The only thing I think is we should save some of the in depth details for the particular section it goes to. Although I agree we should add the specific date of birth. I could not believe I could not find any information on how she died. Im so glad you did because I think it will be an important part to our introduction. Triicberg12 (talk)

Erin, your work is very well done as well. I like how we all share similar ideas about Bluma but enjoy seeing everyone write them out differently. Again, nice job. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 05:59, 27 October 2016 (UTC).

Bulma Zeigarnik (1901-1988), was born and raised as Bulma Gernshtein in Lithuania. She was raised by parents who primarily spoke Russian. Although she did not consider herself to be very religious, she was raised with a Jewish background. She had always appreciated education throughout her childhood up into her adult years. This was reflected in her early adulthood when she was one of the first Russian won to go to a university. It was there, in Berlin, that Burma would go on to find her first big influence in psychology: Kurt Lewin. Burma would end up in his research group, and remain a libeling friend of Lewin’s. However, Lewin was not the only important person she met at the university. In 1919 she also met her husband, Albert Zeigarnik, whom she later would have two children with. Under Lewins teachings, Zeigarnik would make an astonishing finding that would defyne her career. In the1920’s she conducted a study on memory. In which she compared memory in relation to incomplete and complete tasks. She had found that incomplete tasks are easier to remember than successful ones. This is now known as the Zeigarnik effect. Burma stayed at the Berlin University and received her PhD. She had stayed after this for awhile, but eventually left to go to Moscow in 1931. Here she worked as a scientist for the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity. It was also here that she would meet her next big influence Vygowski, and become a part of his circle of scientists. It was not until 1940 that Zeigarnik returned home to Lithuania. Here she had found her husband had been charged of being a German spy, convicted as such, and sent to ten years in prison. Around this time Ziegarnik also lost her job, this was on accounts of the antisemitism of the time. It was not until 7 years later that she could return to the Psychiatric Research Institute of Moscow to be reinstated as the lead of the laboratory. It was here that Ziegarnik founded the Department of Psychology. Ziegarnik recieved the Lewin Memorial Award in 1983 for her psychological research. However, because the Russian government had strict rules, it was not initially approved. Although eventually it had been reviewed and approved, Ziegarnik could not gain the right to go retrieve the award, and in 1988, she died before ever receiving it.Triicberg12 (talk)

Tricia I think you did an awesome job with your lead section! It was worded very well and I thought would make the readers very intrigued to read the full article. I think that using most of your lead section would be a very good idea for our group. They only thing would be to add the specific birth date and death date in the beginning sentence and possibly how she died in the end. Over all though I thought you did great, you summarized and gave some details but not all that would make the readers want to continue to read and find out the whole story. Again awesome job! Erin.l.anderson (talk) 05:29, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I also agree with Erin. Tricia your work on this lead section is very well done. I liked how you were able to organize your ideas and everything looks very good. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 05:59, 27 October 2016 (UTC).

I will be posting my work on here sometime today and will get back to everyone's responses regarding this assignment. Looks really great! Nour.m.alabase (talk) 17:16, 26 October 2016 (UTC).

Bluma Zeigarnik was born on November, 9th, 1901 in Prienai, Lithuania and was deceased February 24th, 1988 in Moscow, Russia. Bluma was a Soviet Psychologist and a member of the Berlin School of Experimental Psychology. Back in the 19th century, many women faced discrimination towards education and especially being an experimental psychologist. However, Bluma was able to make a difference with her path and was known for Zeigarnik Effect. She pursued her education at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Bluma completed her Ph.D. at the University of Berlin in 1927 and pursued a degree in Doctoral of Pedagogical Sciences. With her work on Zeigarnik Effect, she theorized that even with human memory, we have a way to remember uncompleted task or unfinished task but can complete those tasks. Bluma brought her ideas and work she hypothesized to Gestalt Psychology. Bluma’s dissertation was to hypothesize the results of balance from uncompleted tasks. After running her subjects, she later tested them on their memories completing those tasks. Her results showed that those who started at non-completed tasks did not complete it compared to those who started with a completed task and were asked to finish it was able to finish it faster. She explained that tension relates to completed task by having to retain information from our memories. The Zeigarnik effect is being used to explain the effects of spacing when studying assignments. Thus, Bluma continued her education and moved away to Moscow and taught as a scientist at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity. Shortly after her work, she received the Lewin Memorial Award for her work as a psychologist and for her research that she conducted. Because of strict governments, Bluma was denied to have the right to accept that award. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 05:59, 27 October 2016 (UTC).

Nour you did a really good job! For the beginning though I think we need to have the birth to death dates in the parenthesis after her name. Over all I think we all have the same general information, which is awesome! For our lead section the we will use in the article I think it could be a good idea for us to use tricias as a base and then combine any extra information from ours and combine them. I really like your choice of words Tricia! Let me know what your guys thought are. Erin.l.anderson (talk) 17:25, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Erin, Nour you did a great job. The information you included is in depth and will be useful throughout our paper. I feel you may have gone a little too in-depth for the lead section; however, we can use that information later in the paper. I think, just as I did in my lead section, you stopped a bit abruptly. I am not sure how to end a lead section. We will all have to work on making the transition smooth for our article. Overall, good lead section! Triicberg12 (talk)

Thank you for your suggestion! I am sure taking some of that in-depth information won't hurt either. I guess I wasn't completely sure what we shouldn't include in the lead section. However, I am sure it will help us with other sections of the paper. Thank you! Nour.m.alabase (talk) 18:51, 31 October 2016 (UTC).

Dr. Council's comments on your leads Very nice job, all of you! Just a few comments:

• The leads include lots of good information that should be included in the main article. However, for the lead you should emphasize what makes her notable. Take out some of the more specific details and add them later. Again, look at the brochure on writing about psychologists.
• Don't refer to her by her first name. Use her full name in the first sentence, then just Zeigarnik.
• Erin is right about dates in parentheses after her name in the first sentence.
• In addition to deleting the less important details from the lead, be sure to proofread! I found a lot of minor spelling, grammatical, etc. errors.
• I agree that Tricia's lead would make a good starting point for Assignment 7. Just delete some of the fine details and begin with a focus on what makes her notable.

J.R. Council (talk) 20:51, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Assignment 7

Hi guys so I went through and kind of based our lead section off of Tricia's as Dr. Council said that could be a good idea. I added the dates into the parentheses and took out some minor details that we could do with out and just put in the main article. I also did some grammar check, rewording, and some adding. If you guys wanna look over this and add whatever you think we should have or if I deleted something you think should be in there feel free. Let me know what you guys think! Its underneath this comment! Erin.l.anderson (talk) 15:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Erin, your complete lead section looks great, but there are a few errors that can be fixed. Would it be okay if I removed a few run on sentences and added a few extra interesting points? Nour.m.alabase (talk) 15:40, 7 November 2016 (UTC).

In addition to what Erin has worked on, I have deleted a little repetitive words and replaced a few words to make the lead stronger. Tricia and Erin, please feel free to add more information if you feel like it needs it. Also, is it Vygowski or Vygotsky? I am might sure which is the right term, but I searched it up and it came up as the Vygotsky Theory. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 17:24, 7 November 2016 (UTC).

I just went through what Nour posted and changed anything that sounded off. I still think we should add the information on her husband and kids though. Also, her husband ended up going to jail for 10 years on the accusation that he was a spy, when she returned to Berlin, leaving her to take care of her kids alone. Triicberg12 (talk)

Thank you, Tricia. I hope this won't make it as a full cover story of her, but we can add it and see how Dr. Council thinks of it. I just added that part that you were referring to and changed a few things. Again, feel free to change any wordings if necessary. Erin let us know what you think of this lead section and also feel free to let us know what your thoughts are. Thank you all for the team-work. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 19:59, 7 November 2016 (UTC).

Dr. Council's comments: First, from the time/date stamps, it looks like the post immediately above this comment is the final version, so I will comment on that one. I think this is very good overall, and just needs some minor edits to be acceptable. When you make the edits, let me know. In the meantime, go ahead and start developing the main article.

1. Put name and dates at the beginning of the article in bold.
2. Your lead should not tell her life story in chronological order. It needs to be more concise and focus on what she did that was notable. I have put text related to notability in italics above. Remove italics after you edit. Of course you will need to edit this for good continuity.
3. The rest of the material should be in the main text under sections relating to education, career, and personal life. J.R. Council (talk) 23:40, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Assignment 8

Early life and Education Zeigarnik was born and raised as Bluma Gerstein. She was born in Prenai, Lithuania to Volf and Ronya Gerstein, as their first and only child.bAlthough her parents spoke some Yiddish, their primary language was Russian, as was hers. From a very young age Zeigarnik had a high regard for education. This showed in Zeigarnik's interest in wanting to continued her education Zeigarnik was one of the first Russian women to go to a university. She spent many hours in the library studying for University classes, it was there that she met her husband, Albert Zeigarnik and later married in 1919. In 1922 her husband Albert and herself left for Berlin, where he studied at Polytechnic Institute of Berlin and she began studies at the University of Berlin. It was here that she met Kurt Lewin, Zegarnik assisted him during her time of study at the University of Berlin. She then graduate from the University in 1925 and received a Doctoral degree from the university in 1927.Erin.l.anderson (talk) 00:18, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Later life In 1931 Zeigarnik and her husband moved to Moscow, where she began a career at the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine (AUIEM). In 1940 a major event happened in Zeigarnik’s life, her husband Albert was arrested on suspicion of spying for Germany. By this time, they had two children together, one six years old born in 1934 and the other less than a year old born the previous year in 1939, she was left to take care of the two by herself. Throughout the year she continued to visit her husband, where he was being held in Lubyanka and waited to learn what his punishment and fate was to be. In 1943 Zeigarnik returned to Moscow and began her work again at AUIEM, she worked there until 1950, when she lost her job on account of antisemitism. She did not return back to the lab until 1957, where she remained until 1967 as head of the lab. In 1983, Zegarnik was awarded the Lewin Memorial Award for her psychological research. Although she was awarded due to the strict rules of the Russian government, the award was reviewed and approved but she was unable to retrieve and February of 1998 Zeigarnik passed before ever gaining that right.Erin.l.anderson (talk) 00:18, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Influences One of Zeigarnik’s first influences was Kurt Lewin. Zeigarnik met Lewin during her first year at the Humboldt University of Berlin. During this time Lewin was a teacher and a researcher, and one of the first to let females into his lab. Zeigarnik liked his progressive views, and started her scientific career within his research group. It was with Lewin that she developed her well known theory: the Zeigarnik effect. Not only was Lewin a main influence in Zeigarniks life, he was also a good friend. Another Influence of Zeigarnik was L.S Vygotsky. Zeigarnik met and started working with Vygotsky, as well as A.R Luria and A.N Leontyev in the 1930’s. Together they studied topics involving mental structures and general psychology. Their research also allowed Zeigarnik to create and name her own field of psychology: pathopsycholoy. Triicberg12 (talk)

Research and Contributions In the 1920’s, Zeigarnik continued her study under Vygotsky’s supervision and was able to conduct a study on memory which she then compared memory in relation to incomplete and complete tasks and found that it is easier for people that incomplete tasks are much easy to complete and remember than those that are complete. After her finds, she later called this, “The Zeigarnik Effect”. Shortly after her finding of the Zeigarnik Effect, she stayed in to peruse her degree at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity. At this Institute, Zeigarnik was also influenced by another Psychologist named Vygotsky and became a part of his science research. Zeigarnik work provided great service and work ethics to the country and as a Pathophysiology interest, she established her work to be used in Medical Care specifically in Clinical work. Zeigarnik had a lot of experience that helped her present the stages of development of Russian Psychology (Bratus, 1988; Zeigarnik & Bratus, 1980). A lot of her worked was concerned to be clinical focused which helped Psychiatric Health disturb their attention more on mental health. She worked very hard to accomplish her work to go into Clinical and was later successful to do so. She was influenced to present her study which focused on mental disorders. In addition, she continued to teach and adopted most of knowledge to focus on the importance of mental health and include that in the Clinical practice. With many followers, Zeigarnik managed to keep her promise to herself that with many studies that she conducted she knew that including all her work in Clinical practice was essential to her career. Later, Zeigarnik concluded that the importance of her student of her patients was to take personality assessments of their psychological state and general understanding of their defect structure (Bratus, 1988; Zeigarnik & Bratus, 1980). Zeigarnik stated in her own words that, “Any problem suggested by psychiatric practice, whether it concerns the examination of disability, or the study of the structure of remission, or the effectiveness of treatment - the data of psychological study comes useful only at once, when and where they suggest a qualification of the whole personality rather than a certain mental process” (Zeigarnik, 1970, p. 12). Zeigarnik had a lot of studies and shared a lot of her knowledge with many of those followers which now made her to be known a very smart woman who introduced a lot of work towards Clinical Practice.

Awards/Honors Zeigernik was nominated for the Lewin Memorial Award in 1983 for her work regarding neuropsychology. This award was named after the professor Kurt Lewin, and is commonly rewarded to those who help to expand and develop psychological research. Being that Zeiarnik herself had made many contributions in this area of research: creating her own theory, developing pathopsychology, and working with mental structures, she had been granted the Lewin award in Leipeg at the International Congress of Psychology. Although officially acknowledged at the congress, Zeigarnik did not ever physically receive the award. This was due to the strict policies Russia had at the time; especially regarding political bans between East and West Russia. Although eventually the award had been reviewed and approved, Ziegarnik could not gain the right to go out of the country and retrieve the award, and in 1988, 5 years after being nominated, she died before ever receiving it.Triicberg12 (talk)

Erin this is really good! Amazing work. I have my sections done but was wondering how we should organize the article? I know Dr. Council had mentioned in assignment 6 that we should rearrange the sections to put what is most notacible first. So maybe we should do - Intro, Zeigarnik effect, Career history, Influences, Awards, then Family. However, I feel there may be a better way to organize it, do you guys have any ideas? Triicberg12 (talk)

Erin and Trica, I used one of the references we had and it had great information regarding her work and what she had accomplished. I feel like I could've been a little bit more specific about her accomplishments but there was a lot that she did. Also, I am a little bit worried about citations and not sure if it is necessary at the moment to conclude but I did for the ones that I knew were very important to include. On the other hand, I feel like this can be a strong article because we have a lot of great information on her. I will be combining all of our intro's together and see how they look as a final one. Nour.m.alabase (talk) 06:00, 24 November 2016 (UTC).

Nour, I was unsure about the citations needing to be included right now or not also. I know I will need to add citations into mine for sure before publishing the article, so I will be working on that this week hopefully.Erin.l.anderson (talk) 16:25, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

I agree I know we need them in there, but I am still trying to figure out how to include them in text. If you guys figure it out let me know.I will be evaluating more on the influence section later today, I feel it needs more information Triicberg12 (talk)

Hey guys so I figured out how to do the intent citations! So if you guys want to look how I did it or need any help I can definitely help out! Also Nour you said you were going to put it all together, I just wanted to see if you were still doing that other wise I can do itErin.l.anderson (talk) 04:20, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Ya how did you do it? I looked but can not figure out how to cite anything except the memoir.Triicberg12 (talk)

Dr. Council's comments on article

You've done a really good job gethering information. However, the article is much much too long for Wikipedia as it stands. Try to focus on most notable events and contributions. Edit to eliminate wordiness. Be sure to proofread carefully for conciseness, grammatical errors. My specific comments follow. I am sending the link to Ian for his comments, and I'm sure he will have more suggestions.

1. Add revised combined lead to beginning. Remember, the lead was also much to long. Be concise!
2. As a whole, the article is too wordy and much is written too informally. Remember, this is an encyclopedia article.
3. Use proper section headings for Early life, Influences, Awards, etc.
4. There is way too much material on early life and education. Cut, cut, cut! Stick to most notable events.
5. The text includes a lot of comments you've made to each other. Delete these.

Bluma Zeigarnik (27 October 1901 – 24 February 1988) was a Russian psychologist. In the1920’s she conducted a study on memory, in which she compared memory in relation to incomplete and complete tasks. She had found that incomplete tasks are easier to remember than successful ones. This is now known as the Zeigarnik effect. She later began working at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity,this was where she would meet her next big influence Vygowski, and become a part of his circle of scientists. It was also there that Ziegarnik founded the Department of Psychology. During that time, Ziegarnik received the Lewin Memorial Award in 1983 for her psychological research.

Early life and Education

Zeigarnik was born and raised as Bluma Gerstein. She was born in Prenai, Lithuania to Volf and Ronya Gerstein, as their first and only child.Although her parents spoke some Yiddish, their primary language was Russian, as was hers.

It was here that she met Kurt Lewin, Zegarnik assisted him during her time of study at the University of Berlin. She then graduate from the University in 1925 and received a Doctoral degree from the university in 1927.

Later life

In 1931, Zeigarnik and her husband moved to Moscow, where she began a career at the All-Union Institute of Experimental Medicine (AUIEM). In 1940, a major event happened in Zeigarnik’s life; her husband Albert was arrested on suspicion of spying for Germany. By this time, they had two children together, one six years old born in 1934 and the other less than a year old born the previous year in 1939; she was left to take care of the two by herself. Throughout the year, she continued to visit her husband where he was being held in Lubyanka and waited to learn what his punishment and fate were to be. In 1943, Zeigarnik returned to Moscow and began her work again at AUIEM and had worked there until 1950. Shortly after, she lost her job because of anti-Semitism.

During this time, Lewin was a teacher and a researcher, and one of the first to let females into his lab. Zeigarnik liked his progressive views and started her scientific career within his research group. It was with Lewin that she developed her well-known theory: the Zeigarnik effect. Not only was Lewin the main influence in Zeigarnik life, but he was also a good friend. Another Influence of Zeigarnik was L.S Vygotsky. Zeigarnik met and started working with Vygotsky, as well as A.R Luria and A.N Leontyev in the 1930’s. Together they studied topics involving mental structures and general psychology. Their research also allowed Zeigarnik to create and name her own field of psychology.
