conduction a two-was mixed group ANOVA 2 X (3), on the two factors time of day which can be broken down into a further 3 levels (morning, afternoon and evening) and gender which can also be broken down into 2 levels (male and female) on short term memory recall. This was conducted to test for differences between the two independent groups whilst exposing participants to repeated measures.

imagery and pictures have been proven to significantly assist memory. The power of mental imagery is due to its ability to organize information that is initially unorganized into specific locations. A strategy, which entails both organization of information into specific locations and mental imagery, is the Method of Loci. According to Cicero, it was Simonides a Greek Poet who was the first to recognize the use of mental imagery for memory. While he briefly ducked away from a banquet at which…

dementia is defined by Zhong et al. (2016) as a general dementia caused by a series of cerebral vascular factors such as ischemic cerebral vascular disease. The dementia is very similar to Alzheimer’s disease and they share some symptoms such as impaired memory and cognitive function. Some of the non-cognitive symptoms of vascular dementia include tinnitus, sleeping disorder, numbness of the extremities, and emotion changes. Calabrese et al. (2016) believes there are two principal components to…

How would you define someone who is well-educated? Would you base your definition and judgement based off of the school a person went to, or the highest level of degree in which they received? Is a person smart and intelligent because of the grades they received on assignments? Or would you base a person’s smartness off of their ability to memorize facts and relay them to you? In the past I have gotten straight A’s and numerous academic awards. While these are accomplishments, I do not believe…

The ability to remember things you and the people around you have said and done continue to shape you as a person, even years later; single events can change the course of your life.

sense portrays a specific role in the memory process. The excerpt also discusses how all the senses are unified for one purpose: “All these sensations are retained in the great storehouse of memory…” (6). With all my senses working together, I can go back to the time, place, and night of the wreck. Even though some senses are stronger than others, I am still able to recall specific details because essentially all the senses work together to produce a memory or image in my…

It is estimated that as many as 5.1 million Americans may have Alzheimer 's. Alzheimer’s is a disease that virtually every old person prays that they will never be diagnosed with. Who wants a disease that slowly steals your brain? Love? Memory? Self esteem? But most importantly: independence. In B. Smith & Dan Gasby’s memoir Before I Forget, expresses the hardship of living with Alzheimer’s, but no matter what, Dan & B. need to have patience and hope. At the same time, Gasby believes that one…

tangles on both the inside and outside neurons while damage dendritic spines, decrease synaptic input and decrease plasticity. As the plaques accumulates the damages spreads to the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, which is responsible for forming memories. As the neurons die in large numbers the affected regions of the brain begin to shrink (Biological). Alzheimer’s can also be inherited. If your mother or father had Alzheimer’s it is more than likely that you have the apolipoprotein E and are…
