try to uncover in their works On Collective Memory (1992) and Collective Memory and Cultural Identity (1995). Halbwachs’ main thesis is that the memory of people can only function if it occurs in a collective context. He tries to uncover this by questioning how the past is represented not only in the individual’s consciousness but also in the collective consciousness and the mechanisms that it entails. From this he introduces the concept of collective memory which is used to illustrate the…

How does one change misperceptions? This issue regarding false beliefs is analyzed by Maria Konnikova in her essay “I Don’t Want to Be Right”. In her piece, Konnikova evaluates various previous studies regarding the effort to change beliefs ̶ particularly false beliefs. Taking an untraditional approach on a fairly traditional topic, Konnikova argues that self-image is directly related to open mindedness as opposed to traditional, advertisement-based studies. While she gains…

not always reliable, but it is considered to be reliable most times. Although perjury, or knowingly lying under oath, is illegal, the problem with eye witnesses is that their memory may fail them, so they may not be knowingly lying about something they say. In addition, anxiety and stress may impact the validity of the memory. According to the Yerkes Dodson Curve (1908),…

Almost any time when you watch a Hollywood action movie, or play an action videogame, you will most likely meet a character suffering from memory loss. This phenomena of memory loss, also known as amnesia, is a complicated neurological mechanism, hiding behind a seemingly simple facade. Amnesia is extremely widespread worldwide, because, unlike popular belief, it can be triggered not only by a head trauma, but also by a number of other factors. So, what exactly is amnesia? Doctors usually use…

reconstruct their memories and diverge from authenticity through continuous recollection (Radiolab, 2010). Moreover, the brain’s preference for consonance causes dissonance to agitate nerves (Radiolab, 2010). To illustrate, before the first performance of the Rite of Spring, Stravinsky described it as a “concert about springtime”, when in reality, it was about “radical change and ritual murder” (Radiolab, 2010). The audience’s perception was contradicted from their physical memory of reading…

I believe its anterograde amnesia because john can remember his long-term memories that he had before the stroke, but can’t recall he short term memories, like he’s grandson who was born after his stroke. Anterograde amnesia, also known as fixation amnesia, is the loss of the ability to create new memories, leading to a reduced or complete failure to recall the recent past, even though long-term memories from before the incident, which caused the amnesia remain intact. Patients may therefore…

MEMORY TRAINING 2 Running Head: MEMORY TRAINING 1 Memory Training in Older Adults Name PSY307 A02 Adulthood and Aging Argosy University Abstract This paper discusses normal memory loss due to aging as compared to memory loss due to dementia. It summarizes Cavallini, Pagnin, and Vecchi's 2003 study of improved memory function in older adults through mnemonics and strategic training. This paper then explores a design for a study to enhance memory through visual mnemonics and…

around 100,000 of them could potentially be innocent. As useful as it may be, visual memory is one of the biggest cause of false identification that can lead to putting the wrong person in prison. Eyewitness’s identifications can greatly sway both police and juries. The downfall of visual memory can rise as an eyewitness is told something that may change the way they have seen something from before. Most memory errors can either fall in one of two categories, either completely failing to recall…

Persistence of memory is major factor seen in both graphic novels. Persistence for references to this paper will be defined using a personal definition and attempted contextual example. Memory is seen to be persistence in that it is always present, no matter if the owner of the memory wants to not recall it or revisit it. Meaning we has memory reliant human beings, simply cannot, without the exertion of much effort or without use of psychological techniques, intentionally discard a memory or set…
