Types of Long Term Memory. Through the researching process, psychologists define there are four types of long term memory which are divided into two main groups: Explicit and implicit. Explicit memory can be explained as aware memories, something that we have been experienced and stored in our memory consciously. On the other hand, the information like how to do tasks, knowledge, or feeling about some certain things is called implicit memory. In “explicit memory,” there are two major types:…
The crux of the question is to critically evaluate the concept of working memory, that lies at the heart of the Baddeley and Hitch Model (1974) and assess its application in everyday life. The concept of working memory originated from the unitary short-term memory store projected by Atkinson and Shiffrin (Baddeley, 2003). Working memory allows for the storage, retaining of information for a specified period of time and manipulating that information for performance of cognitive activities. A…
Humans process all information through a general, three-step process: encoding, storing, and retrieval (Weseley & McEntarffer, 2007). There are various models that provide an explanation of how the human memory works, such as the three box model and the levels of processing model (Weseley & McEntarffer, 2007). According to the three box model, also known as the information-processing model developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968, newly perceived information is encoded through a set of stores:…
The Misinformation Effect: A Fact Sheet The misinformation effect (ME) can be defined as the change in people’s memories of an incident, after they are presented with false or misleading information about that incident (Gordon & Shapiro, 2012). For example, after watching a video of a woman shopping for green vegetables at a supermarket, it is easy to remember those vegetables. However, once misleading information such as, two other green vegetables are added to the original a list of…
The brain is one of the most powerful tools the human body possesses. Memory is an everyday use; it can be triggered through senses or even by reading a book, but the brain can repress memories. The mind can push a memory to an area of inaccessible corner of the brain causing it to be unconscious, which can later be accessible. Having repressed memory victims has become a controversy in Georgia. The human brain relies on stored knowledge. What happens when the brain can’t recover that…

In terms of structure and function, it differs from working memory or short-term memory which last anywhere from a quarter of a second to 30 seconds. Various studies have disagreed on the relationship between long and short-term memory. The Atkinson-Shiffrin…
Throughout the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) section of our course, we learned that confabulation, the generation of false memories pronounced with strong feelings of rightness without the intention to deceive, is a symptom that can occur post brain injury. Confabulation as a symptom of brain injury has become a fascinating aspect to me in a couple different ways. For one, confabulation is different than lying in that the individual believes to the full extent that what they are saying is true,…
Briefly explain each. • The steps of the scientific method are observation, define problem, construct a hypothesis, test the experiment/ gather evidence, and draw a conclusion. Observation is the procedure of collecting information about events and processes carefully. It involves with seeing and hearing. Defining the problem is when you identify a conflict that requires a solution to be solved. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation based on the evidence and observation. Testing the hypothesis…
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” implies that beauty is subjective and that one decides what is beautiful and what is not. However, there are things that are objectively beautiful that were created by God. Beauty fits into Christianity because of these inherent beauties, as seen, in nature, in things that are symmetrical, and in things that have order. Inherently beautiful things were created to draw our attention to value and importance in God’s design. First, God created nature to be…
Presentations have never been my strong suit, whether it is talking about myself in front of a group of people to presenting a complex situation to a class.

The first project that we were assigned in my communication class was to get to know our classmate…
