The Reminiscence Bump: Literature Review The reminiscence bump is the increased tendency for older adults to have an increased recollection of events that happened during adolescence and early adulthood. It was identified through the study of autobiographical memory and the subsequent plotting of the age of encoding of memories to form the lifespan retrieval curve. This literature review attempts to focus on both the methodology that has been used to study autobiographical memory and the…

these two types of memory are the "retention"(p.311) period necessary to the situation. Working memory is a temporary retention, meaning that that information is only stored long enough to complete a task before being soon discarded. However, pieces of information can be moved from working to reference memory, also known as long-term memory. Reference memory uses background information to succesfully use incoming and recently acquired information. "All successful uses of working memory require…

According to Wegner (1986), transactive memory indicates the provision that “one person has access to information in another’s memory by virtue of knowing that the other person is a location for an item with a certain label.” Thus, people would improve their own memory when they are communicating. Therefore, transactive memory, as it relates to teamwork, assists each person when they are trying to find information from other members of the team by way of communication. A transactive memory…

Memory is composed of three parts sensory memory, working memory and long-term memory. Sensory memory tends to preserve information in its original sense for a fraction of a second. If the sense is strong or memorable a person is able to have a higher chance of recalling it. Senses that we are adapted to would not be meaningful therefore it would fade in our sensory memory. Working memory is the next phase in, which we hold and manipulate information in a conscious attention through a…

memory as a fairly simple thing, they either have a good or bad memory. Psychologists however categorize memory into into different types of memory, based on the information stored and how long it is stored. These different types of memory are held in 'stores', consisting of the sensory, short-term and long-term memory. The multi-store model of memory was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968. The first store of memory is the sensory memory. This 'store' of memory is the first stage in…

represented and stored.Some theories hold that memory is a network of nodes that associate connections among them. Memory is broadly classified into Sensory memory,Short term memory & long term memory.Sensory memory is the memory that retains representations of sensory input for brief periods of time. While short term…

Short-term memory is a broad topic that has been studied by many psychologists for many years to discover the factors of cognitive. Many past studies have concluded that short term memory is very limited and can only hold up to just a few seconds of information. In order to retain information for a longer period of time, many techniques such as repeating information, can possibly be converted into long term memory. The purpose of this study is to determine which gender can score higher on a…

persistence by J.A. Segner (cited by Mollon, 1970, p182) in 1740, which provided an initial understanding of visual persistence (the theory that an image remains in the short-time visual memory for 100 milliseconds) to more recent research into long term memory, such as a study into memory of a particular shape over a month (Rock, I., & Engelstein, P., 1959, p221-229) which showed that although participants quickly lost the ability to accurately recreate the shape, almost all could successfully…

“Short-term lets you hold a restaurant's phone number in your mind as you dial the number, you rely on your short-term memory. This storage is capable of holding roughly seven items of information for approximately 15 to 20 seconds.” (Foster, 2011) Short-term memory is very restricted and needs to make room for all original knowledge coming in consistently. “Long-term is a more permanent storage, hoarding information over hours, days or years. This information can take the form of declarative…

Classical music to enhance short-term memory Problem Statement: In cognitive science, memory is one of the most researched topics, specifically short-term memory. The long-term memory storage depends on the short-term memory, ability to retain information. Short-term memory should not be underestimated since almost every process of cognition depends on it: reasoning, problem solving, and learning new concepts to name a few, (Marshuetz, 2005). As we see, memory is essential for studying. Memory…
