Long-term effects of alcohol

My experiment focused on the effect of popular music on working memory, long term memory, and short term memory. This study focused on working memory and verbal memory and found significance in music’s effect on verbal memory but not spatial memory, which is concurrent with the results of my study. My study did not find significance in music effecting memory. We did not…

My research interests are focused on molecular mechanisms of memory formation during infancy. I’m very interested in exploring how experiences during infancy results in hippocampal long-lasting changes, which influence adult behavior. Traumatic early life experiences can predispose individuals to psychopathologies, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, addiction, depression and anxiety1-4. Paradoxically, episodic memories formed during infancy are…

Cognition is the organization of understandings based on perception, memories, beliefs etc (Streri, de Hevia, Izard & Coubart, 2013). The narrowing of the understanding of cognition tends to lead to a connection to the concept of representations (Streri, de Hevia, Izard & Coubart, 2013). Representations is the formation of a memory (Streri, de Hevia, Izard & Coubart, 2013). Object representations is a fundamental ability for everyday interactions (Feigenson & Yamaguchi, 2009). For example, one…

POLYCHRONIZAT ION There has been recent experimental evidence that neurons can transmit information through precisely timed spike patterns. Patterns can be found in the precise spike timings of a group of neurons, which form a functional neuron group. Polychronization [20] can be defined as the ability to produce ‘time-locked’ but not synchronous firing patterns with milli-second precision. A network consisting of a group of neurons recurrently connected, with axonal delays and a synaptic…

sleep, long term memory, dream theories, flashbulb memories and interference, to name a few. The way that some of these topics are portrayed in the movie are correct, and actually give an accurate, but comedic interpretation of how the memory works. Although the movie has some moments where concepts that involve memory are not necessarily correct, overall it gives a relatively accurate display of how information is processed in people’s minds. To start, the movie mainly focuses on short-term…

Attention and Memory Many children are more captivated to watch television shows because they are fascinated with the various cartoon characters. One of the top popular educational shows, where children starting from birth to age five are watching is Super Why!. Super Why!, is a twenty-six minute children’s show that consists of five adorable characters known as Whyatt, the Little Red Riding Hood, Pig, Princess Pia and Woofster. Whyatt is the leader who takes responsibility in vocabulary and…

retrieve that memory. Thus, the researchers used diary methodology, as well as cue word methodology in order to compensate this. The main findings of this study highlighted a recency effect in the recall of voluntary and involuntary memories of younger participants, as well as a reminiscence bump and recency effect in the recall of autobiographical memory in older participants. Specifically, diary entry methodology highlighted that voluntary memories recalled by older adults are rated as more…

There are three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory and all of them have a different role. Mastin (2010b) summarised that the sensory memory is the shortest term stores sensory information which received through the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch but only for an instant. For example, the image of a person on the screen…

into a form that can be expressed and retained in memory. The second process is storage and is how information is retained so that it can be used at a later time. These two processes take part in converting information from the short-term memory (STM) into the long-term memory (LTM). Both of these are aided by rehearsal which is whereby something is consciously done to retain information in memory. The third is retrieval which is the process of locating and recovering information from the LTM to…

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…
