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…

The definition of Memory is the ability to encode, store, retain and subsequently recall information in the human brain. It can be thought of in general terms, as the use of past experience to affect or influence current behavior (Mastin, 2010). The Memory is the part in the human brain that assist in remembering past experiences, previous learned facts, habits and skills. Etymologically it comes from the Latin memoria, meaning remembering. Memory is comparable to but distinct from learning…

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…

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 similar to the effects of ZIP, it will validate over a decade of…

that memory consists of three stores; the sensory store, short- term store and the long-term store. Information from the environment initially goes into sensory memory which we do take much not take much notice of, but the moment we pay attention to it, the information gets encoded and passed down into the short- term memory. Since the short-term memory has a finite duration and capacity, it cannot be passed down into the long-term memory without rehearsal, in theory the information can remain…

widely applied to both counselling professions; for suppression of previously traumatic events and also in general everyday use; as the ability to forget previous, unrequired information. Directed forgetting can be defined as an overall reduction in long-term memory, resulting from human demand to forget previously presented information used for learning purposes (Eysenck & Keane, 2015). Within the present essay, consideration towards influential, founding research of directed forgetting from…
