possession, which is greater than the pleasure of acquiring that possession (Feng et al., 2013). Furthermore, studies have found that objects acquired in this context can have different memory traces and might have an effect on recognition memory (Feng et al., 2013). In fact, how those objects are encoded in the memory might differ from those stranger to that person (Feng et al., 2013). In addition, the concept of self can be extended to people, refer as the extended self (Kim & Johnson, 2012).…
however, even if a person remembers committing the crime. Julia Shaw and Stephen Porter published a study in 2015 that examined the general hypothesis: It is possible to create a false memory of committing a crime. They used a sample of 60 undergraduate students to test the following specific hypothesis: False memories of committing a crime along with police contact while in adolescence can be developed by young adults in an experimental setting. The purpose of this study was to determine if…
(2010). different studies have shown the negative effects of drug use on working memory: Morphine has been shown to impair working memory (Friswell et al.,2008); polydrug users who preferred cocaine or heroin, continued to have cognitive impairments, including working memory, up to five months into abstinence (VerdejoGarcía, and Pérez-García, 2007); methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) caused working memory impairment even two and a half years after cessation of use (Thomasius et al.,…
retrograde or anterograde amnesia. It appears that john is most likely subject to anterograde amnesia as he shows signs of losing his ability to form declarative memories. “Anterograde amnesia is the inability to recall events that occur after the onset of amnesia.” (Peter Harris, 2014). (pg. 105). “Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memory for events occurring before a particular time in a person’s life, usually before the event that precipitated the amnesia.” (Peter Harris, 2014). (pg.…
interview with Tim O’Brien, he brings about the physical weight that the soldiers carry. More important, the book is about the psychological burden that the soldiers carry with them after the war – guilt, sadness, joy and the burden of memories. Tim shared his memories of being draft to war, the…
Bratakos Psych 193 Final Paper spring 2016 student ID A00631534 MUSIC, MEMORY, and LEARNING Memory is the process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved, Encoding is complicated and we don’t always know exactly what chemical and physical stimuli will help us remember the most. Retrieving the information that is stored means we bring it back into consciousness and this can be very demanding. Sensory memory holds sensory information less than one second after and item is…
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory: The Role of sleep in false memory formation is a report published by J.D Payne from Harvard University Medical division. Payne and his team carried out a series of experiments to establish the effects that sleep has on the formation of false memory in human beings. Establishing the effects that sleep has on false memories formation is the main objective of this study. The study is significant due to the contribution that it makes in the field of psychology…
Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtest measure different cognitive processing abilities combine to form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed which all together make up the Full Scale IQ score. Daniel obtained a score of 99 (47th…

judgement, relative and absolute using the WITNESS model (a computerised memory and decision-making model that produces eyewitness response probabilities) in simultaneous and sequential lineups. This report seeks to understand which judgement model produces the higher probative value for eyewitness identification. The authors…
