FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL: Magnus Opus and Exigence > Lab Manual for Stories Subsection of Children's Memory Scale

Audience: The audience is meant for the lab members in the Neurocognitive Development Lab.

Context: CMS stands for Children’s Memory Scale. There are many different memory components in this scale. This protocol specifically looks at the stories subsection of the scale. The stories test declarative memory.

Purpose: CMS is an extremely subjective memory scale. The purpose of the protocol is to make the coding more objective. This leads to better transcribing and more reliable data.

Document Type/Decision Format: Informative guide

Citation Style: Referral Links/APA citation

L -- really important topic. Looks like you are trying to improve data collection/analysis by clarity on coding, including coding subjectivity.

Is the audience also, new researchers to the lab? This will shape, in part, your guide.

Would you say this is primarily qualitative work? What sources guide your lab researchers now?

I might have some qualitative coding resources for you from ethnography but let's talk first.

Also, you could propose that the lab conduce monthly coding sessions, where you try to norm each other. Ask me more about this practice.
