Eidetic memory

your mental strengths is paramount in the process of expanding and strengthening your mind. The survey deducted that my strongest mental gifts include, but are not limited to: memory, attention, and judgement. My skilled memory has proved useful time and time again. Whether it be in school or in my personal life, it has always been a gift. I have an Eidetic memory; therefore, I am able to remember visual images that I have seen in great detail. This has proven useful on many tests and assignments in the past. It is also useful in my personal life in instances when someone important to me mentions that they enjoyed or appreciated something. After that, I am able to remember these little details and bring them back up when it counts. My memory is great now. However, this is not uncommon. According to Dr. Mercola brain function “peaks during early adulthood and from there on slowly declines” (Mercola). To further develop and strengthen this gift Dr. Mercola suggests a few tools that will aid in the improvement and preservation of memory, such as “[maintaining] a proper diet, exercise routine, sleep, less multitasking, and more continued learning” (Mercola). These are all activities that support brain health and promote the growth of new neurons, and the hippocampus. A great assistant to my excellent memory is the attention I pay to detail and people. I am a thorough thinker and not missing a detail is very important to me. This is incredibly useful for my job. As a nanny, I…

1. Differentiate between repressed memories, recovered memories, and false memories. What does the research support? Repressed memories are memories that are kept hidden from yourself. Recovered memories are memories that were repressed but recovered during hypnosis or psychotherapy. False memories are memories that are distorted or imagined. There is no way to differentiate between the recovered memory to be true or false. However, some cases use a recovered memory to convict sexual abusers…

“The proper occasion for outrage is not that too many students are getting A’s, but that too many students have been led to believe that getting A’s is the point of going to school” (Kohn, 1999). In the perspective of a student, the pathway to success entitles a college or university degree education and more importantly, the grades to become accepted into these competitive programs. The education system has revolved around short term results, rather than long term success and knowledge.…

the night before the exam or test. There is a process in which you perform your memory. First being encoding, secondly is storage and lastly is retrieval. Encoding is the first step and the most important. Encoding is the process of getting your information. We have to make sure that the information we use is in the easiest format for our memories to file away.A part of this is how important the role of attention is. Before we can start encoding things we have to attend to the proper…

Consolidation of memory; the process of maintaining information in your LTM is strongly influenced by the role of sleep (Potkin and Bunney, 2012). “Declarative memory or explicit memory, emphasizes the representation and organization of factual knowledge (Reed, 2013).” Declarative memory plays a key role in an adolescent’s school performance and the process of consecutive social functioning. This study explores the effect of normal sleep on auditory declarative memory in adolescents ages 10-14.…

one point four billion people carry a smartphone. It is as if the person carries a second limbic system with them at all times. The limbic system is a part of the temporal lobe that process memory. This second limbic system has come to replace the limbic one point o. If someone was to say the word memory those around him usually would assume the memory is meant to be related to something technological, though the most important memory is the memory that has unknowingly been replaced by the…

Recently I’ve been exploring a new and fairly bizarre concept of physiological psychology claiming that most of our most vivid memories are actually wrong. It seems so deeply frightening that our most detailed and intense memories may not be nearly as truthful as we think. Memories that we as individuals are absolutely POSITIVE about may actually be distorted and/or fabricated in our own minds without us consciously being aware of it. One cooky discrepancy in the realm of (what I strongly…

A Brief history of early animation 1890 - 1950 While experiments in creating moving images can be traced back to 180BCE it wasn’t until the late 1800’s that animation was truly realised through the advance of technology and creativity of the early pioneers such as J. Stuart Blackton and Emile Cohl. Driven by a desire to capture motion, many artists tried their hand at animation once the technology arrived, and up until the 1940s new and improved techniques for animation were being created every…

tend to decrease the ability of systematizing complex activities when not getting enough sleep, which includes memorizing. What happens when people are sleeping is that while their bodies are resting, their brains actually are working on reorganizing all the events of the day, so that if a person does not sleep enough, his brain does not have enough time to form memories. For example, this situation always happens to those who cram the night before a test, as a result, in the next morning, they…
