EWT is an important area of research into cognitive psychology and memory.

Memories may be influenced by other factors than what was recorded in the first place, due to the reconstructive nature of memory.The term “reconstructive” refers to the brain’s active processing of information to make sense of the world. Studies: Loftus and Palmer Loftus et al Yuille and Cutshall |

Brain Imaging Technology PET - Positron Emission Topography MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging Brain imaging technologies are quite useful in neuropsychology as it provides an opportunity to study the active brain. Studies: MRI: Maguire Corkin (HM) PET: Tierny et al |

CE1 |
Emotion can be defined as the body’s adaptive response to a particular situation. Cognition can be defined as the mental processes of acquiring and processing information whereas physiology is the internal, biological mechanisms of living organisms. LeDoux: The short route is effective, as it will lead to a quick, but often inaccurate response. The long route however, is slower, but will allow for a more thorough evaluation of a situation, and a more appropriate response. Study: Gazzaniga Lazarus Appraises the situation, deciding whether the situation is good for us or not. Emits emotions accordingly. This can be unconscious or conscious. Study: Speisman et al |

Flashbulb Memories is a special kind of emotional memory, which refers to vivid and detailed (photographic-like) memories of highly emotional events that appear to be recorded in the brain as though with the help of a ‘camera’s flash.’ Studies: Brown and Kulik Tali Sharot Yuille and Cutshall |
