Episodic memory

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.…

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is meant to be related to something technological, though the most important memory is the memory that has unknowingly been replaced by the memory of the internet. The memory is the ability to encode and recall information from past activities. Memory simply is the sum total of a person…

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 believe to be) my own memories is that I clearly remember my favorite…

McCay enlisted the help of a young neighbour, John A. Fitzsimmons to help trace the backgrounds while McCay devoted his efforts to animating Gertie himself, ten thousand drawings in total. Upon release Gertie the Dinosaur in 1914 McCay and his animated creation were a hit. The film was a landmark title not only for having the first animated star, but for being the first with a proper storyline as well (Goldman, 2005). Up until this point animation had been mostly the work of individual artists…

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 usually really struggle to remember the information which they have just learned.

Scientists indicate that when sleeping, the…

My fascination with the neurological basis of learning and memory began during an independent research project in the second year of my master’s degree at Bangalore University. I was in awe when I realized how extraordinarily complex the neural mechanisms that support memory formation are and yet these profound neural events may be “undone” if the memories are not retrieved. Furthermore, I learned that memories can be embedded in chains, or “engrams”, composed of antecedent and subsequent events…

Alzheimer’s is a form a dementia where the brain begins to deteriorate, causing the decline of memory in middle to older aged individuals.

Alzheimer’s only continues to worsen as a person diagnosed with the disease continues to grow older. Approximately 4.5 million Americans are affected by Alzheimer’s disease at the current date (Alzheimer 's Disease Center).…
