Lepage Background Our memory is a cognitive function that we most call upon.

Memories are the basis in which people construct their lives. Ranging from building relationships to developing opinions, they play an undeniable role in everyday life. In fact, Dr. Pierce J. Howard, Director of Research for Applied Cognitive Studies, describes the memory as “Learning that sticks,” (Howard 526). As important as memories are, average individuals forget a majority of their life. For instance, typical people will not be able to recall what they ate for breakfast a year ago or what…

Memories are an individual’s stored experiences from certain moments in his or her past. Memories carry feelings based on the experience such as nostalgia when thinking about a past lover or anger when thinking about a moment of betrayal, but these remembered feelings and saved perceptions of the situation do not always match the physical impact of the event. Children are especially susceptible to this as innocence softens the severity of situations. In the excerpt from her story “Cherry…

Are you allergic to seafood? Anyone who has had a procedure done to them that needed iodinated contrast media has been asked this. Researching for an article has lead me to exam preparation guidelines and radiology manuals that say to ask whether the patient is allergic to seafood along with other allergies and even to go as far as asking if they are allergic to iodine specifically. The reasoning for this is that seafood is high in iodine. The fact of the matter is that iodine is an essential…

Places may live on in our memory if there are experiences that stand out to the mind. The memories may either be good or bad, but they are still memorable in our mind. There are examples given in most of the literature writing, most depend on recalling the past. Even our own personal experience can come to hand, with what we do remember about a certain place. Experience is what matters first hand. It also counts on what impression we got and what impression it left, or even how we felt during…

Flint Memory The effects of Alzheimer’s on memory is something I have seen for myself. When I was in middle school we had my grandma move in with us due to the difficulties of Alzheimer’s. We were able to be there for her and help her more than my grandpa was able to do. So I know how this disease can slowly change someone over time. My grandma used to have all sorts of foods that she would make, storing the recipes all in her head. Lots of our favorite dishes were lost as her memory…

There is always one memory that stands out more than the others. Mine would be when I moved from my favorite house about four years ago. That moment will stand out the most. It was a warm sunny day in April and my stepmom Lisa was working on the yard while my brother Zack and I was playing out by the lake and that’s when my Dad came outside and said he needed to talk us. When Zack and I went into the house my parents told us that we were going to have to go look at some other houses because we…

Memory, a complex aspect of humans that helps us not only remember but also helps us have our own perspective on the situations in which we find ourselves. These memories have an immense effect on us due to the fact that, by having more and more experiences, we will compare certain memories to others in order to make certain choices. This perception and comparison of situations is shown in many works, including “The Men We Carry In Our Minds”, an essay by Scott Russell Sanders. Sanders’s…
