technology industries. Competition between Microsoft and Apple has been ongoing for several years. When people buy any sort of electronic device they look for three things: is it a good product? Will it offer me everything I wanted? And will it last long? Customers aren’t aware of the different parts and functions that may be included in the devices such as RAM and Disc. Without knowledge of these parts, how are clients suppose to evaluate whether these are better for their investments or not?…

Quiz on Vargha-Khadem paper 1. How does Tulving describe the two main types of memory? Tulving describes two main types of memory: Semantic and Episodic Memory. Tulving described the semantic memory as “context free” memory due to its fact oriented nature. In contrast, he called the episodic memory “context rich” memory, since recollection of the episodic memory is often enriched with details and emotional connections about the event. Both semantic and episodic memories are types of…

Introduction Memory is the process of encoding, storing and retrieving of memory. Encoding is where information is taken into our memory, storing is where we store information into our brains and retrieving is where we retrieve information from our brain. Although we are prone to memory reconstruction which is when we store our memories but recall it differently. This is largely due to our schemas but sometimes it may be due to other factors. Bartlett’s War of the Ghosts study was conducted to…

Storing information is about retaining the information, so it can be recalled later when needed. This depends on two types of memory which are Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory. The Short Term Memory it is known as primary or active memory because it only lasts only up to thirty seconds. Most adults can store five to nine items in this type of memory. An example of short term memory would be when we are able…

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…

Primary distinctions of long-term memory, introduced in 1972, consists of procedural, semantic, and episodic memory. Procedural memory constitutes the memory required to perform certain actions via motor functions. A prime example of procedural memory consists of easily remembered…

Recent studies that sleep’s function goes far beyond rest and replenishment. It also involves a state of active offline information processing that is essential to the appropriate functioning of learning and memory. It has been established that there are three important stages in memory; new memories are initially acquired (encoding), become strengthened and reorganized (consolidation), and are finally recalled (retrieval) (Feld and Diekelmann, 2015). Memory is often divided into two categories…

students strive to receive good grades. To them, it is important because the grades that they receive helps dictate what colleges they can go to in the future. The most important thing that students can do to receive these desired grades is to study. How long should a person study for? According to COSAM, “you need to study two hours per unit per week, or 25-35 hours per week” ( “Supporting Student Success” ). As a student, I realized that most students do not have 25-35 hours to study for…

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…

Project Summary Hypothesis Statement: The Atypical Protein Kinase C Zeta (PKMz) is the molecular mechanism underlying Long Term Potentiation (LTP) maintenance at the synaptic membrane. Furthermore, this process is regulated at the level of translation of a locally available pool of PKMz mRNA, and can be sustained in part by active PKMz itself, or inhibited via an activity-dependent translation block. Significance: If the effects of a true PKMz conditional knockout result in memory impairments…
