The third hypothesis is “. Encoding short-term memories into long-term storage”. One popular Chinese psychologist, Jie Zhang, explores this idea in this way. Our brain is always storing a lot of memories, and it does not matter we are awake or asleep.…
Sensory memory registers a large capacity of environmental information while short-term memory has a limited capacity of retrieving information. Short- term memory has new…
3. What type of assessment is it (e.g. screening, criterion referenced, norm referenced, standardised interview, clinical observation, self-report, checklist etc)? RBMT-3 A series of studies were subsequently undertaken to evaluate the properties of the test when used in clinical memory assessment of older adults. Results supported the use of the RBMT as both screening and diagnostic tool. (GLASS, 2000).…

Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring possible solutions. Both girls when though the thought process when it came down to thinking of English word that would help them remember their French vocabulary word.…
Tulving’s persuasive theory of the two propositional memory types: Episodic and Semantic, have been pivotal in the research and study of Long-Term Memory for over four decades (Brown, Creswell, & Ryan, 2016). Semantic memory provides us with the memory needed for the use of language, whereas episodic memory focuses on the autobiographical events that can be explicitly recalled. There are many differences in these two memory sub-types that further differentiate them from one another. In addition to the differences between these two declarative memory types, we will also discuss the evidence for the distinction between episodic and semantic memory, both behaviorally and with the brain. Episodic memory is a type of memory that is associated…
Joseph performance on the attention tasks during this testing exhibited variability. Joseph’s performance on visual attention task was below the threshold of statistical significance; however, it did demonstrate subtle difficulties in the area of detectability, inattention, response speed consistency. He also made slightly more anticipatory errors than others in his age group. There was slight reduction of speed noted during the later blocks. His response speed also showed slight decrease when the stimulus interval became longer.…
In this article, the authors tested five individuals who were categorized as fluent dysphasia with severe anomia (Hodges, Patterson, Oxbury, & Funnell, 1992). It explains that semantic memory is important for comprehension and it outlines the percentage of the long term memory. This kind of memory assists with picture-picture matching and item naming. The researchers recognized that all five individuals’ vocabularies decreased dramatically since their conditions first occurred. The individuals complained about experiencing difficulty recalling names and lacking basic knowledge, such as the type of food that they like, or their hometown.…
According to Wegner (1986), transactive memory indicates the provision that “one person has access to information in another’s memory by virtue of knowing that the other person is a location for an item with a certain label.” Thus, people would improve their own memory when they are communicating. Therefore, transactive memory, as it relates to teamwork, assists each person when they are trying to find information from other members of the team by way of communication.…
Memory plays an important role in people’s everyday lives. It allows people with tasks such as going to the shop and remembering everything they need to buy, or where and when they’ve to be somewhere for a meeting. Memory can be explained by using two psychological approaches: Biological and Cognitive.…
Functionalism William James the founder of Functional psychology believed that memory allows us to retain bits of information for our own survival. He also believed that memory was a dichotomous feature. Although he believed this is his earliest research ignored memory all together. In the early 19th Century, James also suggested that there was a primary and secondary memory.…
My short term memory is quite interesting to reflect on. It varies day to day, depending on if I am tired, stressed or busy (lots of things to thing about or do) or whether I am motivated, calm and energetic. This I feels has a strong input into what I can/can't remember. Things that are more relevant or more routine like are easier to for me to remember. Now, getting older in order for me to remember things, most items I need to write it down, normally in the form of a list.…
In the movie Inside Out, the main concept that is portrayed is how memory works. Certain specific topics that relate to memory that are in the movie include REM sleep, long term memory, dream theories, flashbulb memories and interference, to name a few. The way that some of these topics are portrayed in the movie are correct, and actually give an accurate, but comedic interpretation of how the memory works. Although the movie has some moments where concepts that involve memory are not necessarily correct, overall it gives a relatively accurate display of how information is processed in people’s minds. To start, the movie mainly focuses on short-term memory, long-term memory, and R.E.M. Sleep, and the way they are portrayed is close to how the…
“Short-term lets you hold a restaurant's phone number in your mind as you dial the number, you rely on your short-term memory. This storage is capable of holding roughly seven items of information for approximately 15 to 20 seconds.” (Foster, 2011) Short-term memory is very restricted and needs to make room for all original knowledge coming in consistently. “Long-term is a more permanent storage, hoarding information over hours, days or years. This information can take the form of declarative memories, which include simple facts or specific episodes in your life, or procedural memories to do with skills, such as how to ride a bike.”…
1. What is verbal learning and what was Ebbinghaus trying to show with his experiments? Verbal learning is the process of learning and memorizing lists of words as well as the processes of retention and acquisition of the overall learning process. However, verbal learning also applies to the learning of faces, pictures, sounds, sequencing, odors, location, and other variables outside of simply a list of words. It is an active process of learning where the subject engages with the list they are aiming to memorize by employ different tactics to do so more effectively.…
