lower than 3 sec. However, they generally needed more time to respond to the sorting, memorizing and assembling tasks (Task 1, Task 5 and Task 8), thus confirming existing research findings about the difficulties associated with poor spatial working memory when persons with ASD use complex visual information (Blair et al., 2002; Schuh & Eigsti, 2012; Williams, Goldstein & Minshew, 2006). Nevertheless, they were generally able to reproduce spatial patterns if previously they…

Hypnosis has been used in the past to help people recover certain memories. The memories recovered have used in court cases as evidence and verdicts made based on the memories; however, are these memories accurate? Should they be used in court cases as true and accurate memories? In the case study Accuracy of Recall by Hypnotically Age-Regressed Subjects, these questions are answered. Overall, the memories recovered using hypnosis are inaccurate. They should not be used in court cases and held…

Sleep and memory are complex acts of the human experience that still to this day are not initially understood. Many studies have suggested that sleep helps learning and memory in various ways. One example, a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently. Secondly sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is essential for learning new information. Three Main Functions Are Acquisition. Consolidation and Recall. All of these steps…

In this article, the authors tested five individuals who were categorized as fluent dysphasia with severe anomia (Hodges, Patterson, Oxbury, & Funnell, 1992). It explains that semantic memory is important for comprehension and it outlines the percentage of the long term memory. This kind of memory assists with picture-picture matching and item naming. The researchers recognized that all five individuals’ vocabularies decreased dramatically since their conditions first occurred. The individuals…

Memories serve as an anchor to our lives. They define who we are and what we have been through. They measure our lives thus far. We hold onto all memories, good and painful ones.

These chemicals and hormones alter the properties of the brain and thus have an effect on memory. It has been proven that the memory experiences state and mood dependency. Thus the shifting from one state to another affects the recall of information. There are many different methods to manipulate an individuals’ mood in order to measure…

What makes a childhood good? Is it all the memories to look back on, is it accomplishments, or is it something that we all just say that was fun.

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.
