After watching the videos supplied, there are valuable lessons and techniques that are learned about questioning eye witnesses. Learning about the specific questions to ask an eye witness can be a curtail asset to an investigation. When someone witnesses a crime for the fist time, it can be shocking on that person. What they have seen and what they believe they saw can be totally different. In the interview stage with that witness, I learned that is is sometimes important to being with open…

Even though many research findings have found that age-related changes do not differ too much between DPOAES and TEOAES, I would use DPOAEs to test the adult population because of other factors, such as comfort of presentation level, frequency specific information, and more manual control options for the examiner. First, DPOAEs are presented at a moderate intensity level (70dB) compared to TEOAEs which are presented at a higher presentation level (78-80dB). Furthermore, to check for test-rest…

The Cognitive Processes of Aging and Memory Casey Imelio Sitting with my grandfather just today, it was clear to me that since being at college I had not noticed how much he had aged within the last two years. He forgot minimal details, such as my major and what truck I drove (which for him is surprising). While at the time being enrolled in both a Gerontology course and this Perception and Cognition course it was cool to see how I could put these details together and get a better understanding…

“Memories of Things Unseen” states the importance of the study of memory and gives examples of how people’s memory can be changed based on external suggestions. The article talks about false memory and how people’s memories can be altered just by being questioning or having an instance mentioned to them. The article states many studies and events where this has occurred, especially during crime scene investigations where the longer the person is investigated, the more prone they are to…

The snake represents her mother in some way, so when faced with one she feels fear, but as these feelings are in the unconscious mind, she cannot express the reasons why. These memories are personal to Anna so Bjorn does not express the same fear. However, this study lacks temporal validity because it was conducted over a hundred years ago, and since then psychologists have developed opposing theories with higher levels of accuracy. Also, the study raises the issue of treatment fallacy as…

The steps of memorizing a past event are to encode then store. After encoding and storing, we recall these past experiences.

Kenny Lopez 12/10/14 I selected the research article titled “Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory,” since it provided answers to my questions about Alzheimer’s disease. This article discusses the idea that as people age, the part of the brain that is responsible for forming, organizing, and storing our memories called the hippocampus, shrinks and deteriorates. As a result, people are susceptible to developing Dementia, which causes episodes of forgetfulness.…

The movie Memento (2001) was a film about Leonard, an insurance investigator who suffered from anterograde amnesia. Memento (2001) did a fair job in not only explaining the condition of anterograde amnesia but also gave readers many thoughts after watching the movie. There are many human intelligence traits illustrated in the movie varies with different characters in the film. Leonard, an insurance investigator, who developed anterograde amnesia after an incident in his house, when his wife was…

In Robert J. McDonald and Norman M. White’s article, “A Triple Dissociation of Memory Systems,” they explain how the memory system works. The memory system is made of three major region areas of the brain: the hippocampus, amygdala, and dorsal striatum. The hippocampus region is to gain information about the relationships between stimuli. Stimuli is an action that alerts physiological or psychological activity (freedictionary.com). In learning areas, this relation sip helps lower doubtfulness…

All memory is social. Everyday we create memories, and we all use memory in our everyday lives but in the end we only remember some of them. Memory is the tool we use to learn and think. Right now you're reading this, and you're probably thinking to yourself a memory of your own. In this paper I will be discussing the qualities, and nature from Professor Roy, William’s book, “Making Societies” and Sociologist Zerubavels’ text in “Time Maps”. Social memory helps to determine the boundaries around…
