ABSTARCT Forgetting is assumed to be a passive process. THEORY Retrieval-induced forgetting refers to the phenomenon in which retrieval of some studied items causes temporary inaccessibility of other studied items when both types are associated with a common retrieval cue. According to this view, the attempt to retrieve a target item also activates other items associated with the same retrieval cue(s), creating competition and requiring that the competing items be selected against. Intrinsic to…

As one of the most insightful philosophers and psychologists of our time, William James’ influential theory of primary and secondary memory in 1890 kick-started the long standing dispute between theories of unitary and separate memory stores. Advocates of multi-store models focus heavily on distinctions between long term memory (LTM) and short term memory (STM), such as differences in their capacity of storage and duration of which information can be withheld within each store. Other theorists…

been using it as a model for machinery for years and despite the fact that technology has come a long way scientists are still unable to replicate the human brain in its entirety. The brain is the command centre of the human body and runs all the processes within the body. As if that was not enough the brain runs complex mental functions as well. It is the home of the human mind. One of the key human functions that are run by the brain is the memory process. The human memory was one thought to…

Amnesiac semantic memories are generally intact as their semantic comprehension is attained at an earlier time, and processes of encoding, consolidation for memory transfer, and reconsolidation occurs and data is stored into long-term memory, Additionally, both anterograde amnesia and retrograde may be present together and each can be different levels of amnesia and this…

surprisal as was examined in studies 1 and 2. In study 3, undergraduate students described events that they thought would be highly expected, or unexpected too have occurred in the life of a 70 year old. Again, these events were used as prompts for a group of older adults in study 4, who recalled expected and unexpected memories of events that had occurred throughout their life. A later comparison of the life events predicted by students with the memory distributions of older adults indicated…

presented with misinformation the subjects were overwhelmingly wrong when identifying non neutral items (i.e.: uniform, presence of weapons) (Morgan et al., 2013). Also Morgan (2013) indicated in their finding also concluded that misinformation on a group level was effective and that “misinformation is more readily accepted by a person when the misinformation is paired with someone who is trusted or who is familiar to that person” (P. 6). Additionally Morgan (2013) also states that further study…

Susan, a 45-year-old woman, wife and mother of two has been having memory difficulties and impaired movement of the right side of her body. With no indication as to what caused these difficulties Susan may be experiencing problems with motivation, learning and different types of memory. The different types of memory Susan may be having difficulty with include long term memory (LTM), short term memory (STM) and working memory, all of which can have an impact on how therapy is conducted and how…

memory works in everyday life. The working memory model is a more accurate description of the process of short-term memory and how short-term memories are converted into long-term memories. The multi-store model is able to explain the cognitive processes begin Alzheimer’s disease as well as having potential to explain other cognitive diseases that effect memory and the personality of an individual. The first suggested explanation for the cognitive process of memory was called the multi-store…

This semester, I’m in a course entitled Principles of Chemistry I. Currently, I need to learn and store trends of the periodic table. One particularly hard area is electron affinity and ionization energy trends. Electron affinity is how willing an element is to gain an electron, and ionization energy is how willing the element is to lose an electron. Remembering which direction each of those two trends go on the periodic table has been difficult for me. I’m trying to store this information in my…

There are many forms of printing processes you can take to print what you desire. In order to print something, the first thing you need to have is a visual design. Your visual design can be acquired be either a design you have designed yourself using 3D software or by using scanning technology…
