Computer memory

If I were to design a robotic memory storage system I would utilize the both the negative and positive aspects of the human memory. Focusing on the complexities of encoding long-term memories to store information. This system would encode information with sight, sound, smell, touch and experience. Emotion is a complex component that is virtually impossible to equate in this robotic memory system. Although, the robot would encode the information by senses for…

there was no paper to scribe thoughts onto or computers to record them. There was nothing to do with thoughts, but remember them. Anything worth preserving had to be preserved in memory. In the essay, “The End of Remembering” by Joshua Foer, memory is an important issue. Different tools for remembering are discussed. In the course of time, a series of technologies have been created: the alphabet, scrolls, the printing press, photography, the computer, and the smartphone. Advancements in…

lyrics and a catchy tune. Music requires much thought and effort in order to create a successful sound. Learning music requires an abundance of memory and patience. But how is our mind supposed to remember certain musical terms and characteristics? When dealing with memory, our brains work almost similar to a computer. Our brains store multiple memories from years before, weeks before and even days before. Mnemonic devices are tricks that allow our brain to encode and recall important…

enhance the evolving cognitive processes describe. Secondarily, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the video (Cognitive Development) Piagetian understanding of the world the reading of the articles by DeBord, discuss factors or techniques for memory processes that helped me learn to remember successfully and indicate why children who are inexperienced…

depends on our memories to some degree; especially our working memory (Baddeley, 1992). To understand many of our cognitive processes (problem solving, cognition, attention, etc.) one needs to understand the abilities and limits of memory. This information also translates into practical reasons as well. We rely on our memories to make judgements on significant events ranging from eyewitness testimony, to winning an argument with our significant other over who said what. All in all, memory…

briefly discussed. Anterograde amnesia is “a severe loss of the ability to form new episodic and semantic memories” (Gluck, Mercado, Myers, 2014). It is the most noticeable amnesia present in patient H.M. Hippocampal region damage results in difficulty learning new information – especially episodic learning of events and facts (Gluck, Mercado,…

Kenny Lopez 12/10/14 I selected the research article titled “Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory,” since it provided answers to my questions about Alzheimer’s disease. This article discusses the idea that as people age, the part of the brain that is responsible for forming, organizing, and storing our memories called the hippocampus, shrinks and deteriorates. As a result, people are susceptible to developing Dementia, which causes episodes of forgetfulness.…

school and it is hurting their education experience. Technology is mainly hurting students in education because it contains a lot of false information that can be difficult to check for accuracy, it makes plagiarism a large concern while hindering the memories of children and society. With all the information available on the internet, finding credible and factual information can be very…

Alzheimer 's disease has taught me the importance of holding on to memories. In Theory of Knowledge class, I learned about memory as a way of knowing. Memories are vital in knowledge of the recent past. In my experience with my great grandmother’s term with Alzheimer’s, I have held on to many memories that she can no longer share. Even so, these memories will never be forgotten because I will keep them alive. This is because memories need to be passed on to further generations. Going to my…

(Foer 172) and discover the events of that particular date in time. In essence, Bell is creating an external autobiographical memory. Internal autobiographical memory, on the other hand, is extremely rare; with only 25 confirmed cases as of 2016 (Pitchaiah et al. 701). Scientifically, autobiographical memory is known as hyperthymesia, and patients naturally recall vivid memories…
