Eidetic memory

This effect was not seen in the homogeneous condition since the relationship between physical activity and processing was shown only when working memory and cognitive flexibility were required. This finding implies that a positive relationship exists between physical activity and cognitive flexibility. Therefore, physically active individuals use their attentional resources more effectively, and also…

Nerve cell degeneration that occurs in AD (as shown in Figs. 4 & 5) reflects in a great way symptoms that the individual experiences. Typically, nerves degeneration occurs first in the brain area responsible for learning and memory, and gradually spreads to cells controlling other aspects such as thinking, judgment and behavior. Eventually, damage reaches nerve cells that control and coordinates movement. Figure 4 Brain from normal elderly person (upper left and right)vs. brain of…

False memories are created through DRM paradigm from automatic spread of activation stored information (Watson et al, 2005). It is also due to the attentional control that differentiates words and networks from the real presentation of words (Watson et al, 2005). There are numerous factors that can cause distortions of memory such as relatedness effects, imagination, and social factors. Relatedness effects are an individual experiencing numerous stimuli that are related, where they generally…

The Doors and People Test was conducted by MacPherson, Bozzali, Cipolotti, and Shallice, and was approved by the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and Institute of Neurology Joint Research Ethics Committee. The experiment aimed to test and compare the cognitive abilities of those who had frontal lobe lesions to those who did not. The study involved four tests; two tests measured ability of recall, and two tests measured ability of recognition. The experimental group consisted…

Creation of False Memories Memory is usually defined as the ability to encode, store and retain certain pieces of information that we deem important and want to recall at some point. However according to certain psychologist your memories aren't always an accurate representation of what you once saw or experience. This phenomenon is known as false memory; this occurs when our brains try to recall events that may have happened and add certain pieces of information that never occurred.In the…

1 - LTO: Expressive Language: Steven Murphy will independently label pictures of common objects, actions, or people correctly with 80% accuracy over three consecutive therapy sessions. Rationale for LTO: Based on Steven’s CELF-2 subtest scores for expressive language, expressive vocabulary results were below normal limits and thus in the ninth percentile ranking. These scores proved expressive vocabulary to be an area of concern for expressive language and therefore, should be targeted in…

Psychologists are interested in studying memory illusions and distortions in order to discover how the memory works (Bartlett, 1932; Schacter, 2001). An interest in false memories arose in the 1900s, and led to people trying to discover if suggested influences can lead to remembering pseudo-events. A procedure was introduced where adults were given a description of a childhood event, and asked to remember them (Loftus and Pickrell, 1995). All of the events described would be true except for one.…

1) Repressed memories are memories that are so traumatic that a person is unable to remember that they even occurred. Some experts believe that they can use hypnosis or psychotherapy to recall these events called recovered memories. Research shows that some of these memories are accurate and while others are just plain false. Unfortunately, the assessment tools don't exist to decipher between the two. (pg. 221) 2) The Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory is a three stage model that represent the…
