Cognitive Psychology
The fifth chapter of the "Cognition," 8th edition, a book by Margaret W. Matlin, mainly talks about the long-term memory that has been gathered over an extended period of time throughout the entire life of human beings. More so, the chapter also helps to understand that emotions also have a significant effect on memory in many ways. It also shows how the memory is retrieved, the processes involved, and also displays how memory accuracy is dependent on the researcher’s extent of memory measure. Furthermore, the autobiographical memory is discussed too in this chapter; in addition, the author describes how the day to day life experiences influence the memory. In this part, two things are explained: the source monitoring that involves figuring out how someone becomes aware of some unique information and the reality monitoring which involves understanding whether an occasion took place or not. Also, the chapter talks about topics such as the self-reference effect, emotions and memory, and the consistency bias (Matlin, 2012).

Also when people analyze things deeply, they tend to extract more stimulus like images and may relate these past occurrences to a unique stimulus. This deep level of processing is referred to as a self-reference. Deeper level of brain processing over an event encourages the memory to perform the distinctness of the event and elaboration. The studies further that the clarity of an event means its peculiar difference from another event. Furthermore the elaboration needs rich and extensive processing to derive meaning and deduce the interconnected
