It was a warm sunny day in April and my stepmom Lisa was working on the yard while my brother Zack and I was playing out by the lake and that’s when my Dad came outside and said he needed to talk us. When Zack and I went into the house my parents told us that we were going to have to go look at some other houses because we…

Memory, a complex aspect of humans that helps us not only remember but also helps us have our own perspective on the situations in which we find ourselves. These memories have an immense effect on us due to the fact that, by having more and more experiences, we will compare certain memories to others in order to make certain choices. This perception and comparison of situations is shown in many works, including “The Men We Carry In Our Minds”, an essay by Scott Russell Sanders. Sanders’s…

sessions of participants complete an autobiographical beliefs and memory questionnaire (ABMQ). After a two-week break, they were asked to return to be interviewed. In a two-session event, the participants were given two target events presented in random order and they were basically telling them that many people forget what has happened in their past. Then the groups were given instructions on an event and asked to write a brief memory about the event. Afterward, another ABMQ was given out.…

The things we see, hear, taste, smell and think or even dream can all be changed with one getting confused on daily basics, or something happening too often. You can also have an over occurring memory such as something embarrassing and it keeps playing over in ones mind. Even something someone believe so hard to be…

Molecular mechanisms such as synaptic transmission is essential to the process of learning, memory consolidation, and reconsolidation. When a significant event occurs, memories are learned and stored by consolidation. These memories can then be retrieved and returned. You could compare the process of consolidation and reconsolidation to a simple action, like taking milk out of the fridge for example. After returning from the store you place the milk in your fridge where it is unharmed and at a…

Memory tends to decline as people get older. This explains why elderly people find it difficult to recall names, dates and events. This is due to the fact that our brain is no longer in the same shape it used to be in and our ability to recall has slowed down. ("Memory Decline over the Lifespan", 2015). Generally, results of research studies indicate that there may be some naturally occurring decline in some aspects of memory among older people. (Grivas, J., Letch, N., Down, R., & Carter, L.,…

The first experiment contained six lists (Categories) and corresponding words accompanying the list in order to replicate and prove the findings of a study done by Underwood. The second experiment followed Underwood's methodology and…

Amnesia in general refers to a deficit in memory and it is divided into anterograde amnesia or retrograde amnesia depending on whether the deficit is for information that was acquired before or after the onset of the deficit. Most of the times this condition occurs in relative isolation (Rosenbaum, Murphy, & Rich, 2012, p. 47) and other cognitive domains including reasoning abilities, attention, remote memory and skill acquisition or procedural memory generally remain preserved (Duff, Wszalek,…
