A+Penny+for+your+Thoughts

Consider the following:
The Gen Psych textbook has a TRY IT in Chapter 6 that says [On a sheet of paper, draw a sketch of a U.S penny from memory using recall. In your drawing, show the direction in which President Lincoln's image is facing and the location of the date and include all the words on the heads side of the penny. Or try the easier recognition task and see if you can recognize the real penny in the drawings. (From Nickerson & Adams, 1979.)

Discuss:
