give their account of what occurred in relation to the trial which is based upon human perception and memory (Geoffrey M Stephenson, 1992 Psychology of Criminal Justice, p161.) “The reliability of eye witness testimony is a vastly complex subject” (Bruce Schneir 2012). When eyewitness testimony is obtained immediately after an event…

This system, associated with emotions and drive, is located below the cerebral hemispheres and holds a very valuable part of the brain. The hippocampus has the important role of processing explicit memories for storage. Losing this part of the brain is being depleted of the ability to form new memories, which significantly affects the lifestyle of a person in a…

The effect of food consumption on memory recall The theory that food consumption has a positive affect on cognitive processes is supported by Humanist psychologist Maslow, who’s hierarchy of needs (1970) theory states that a persons biological needs such as oxygen, water and food must be met before the body can concentrate on needs higher up in the hierarchy triangle such as esteem, cognitive and aesthetic needs (R. Gross, 2001). Since Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, there have been many…

himself for Ted Lavender’s death. Although O’Brien presents these deaths as facts, the Cracked Podcast suggests that memories are not as exact as previously thought. In Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, the narrator retells deaths that became life-changing moments for him, because memories can easily be manipulated, the reader must decide what is true and what is a false memory. Since the narrator was traumatized by Lemon’s unexpected death, he retells the story, which leads…

Many researchers have explored the accuracy of memory on events. Eyewitness testimony plays a huge role in determining research within human reconstructive memory and cognitive psychology. These two terms elaborate on the cognitive processes through language, and imagination by the given account received by individuals that witnessed a certain event. Loftus & Palmer believed that individuals tended to overestimate the recalling of events on memory. Thus, they believed that providing leading…

shoving all the snow and snow slide away to keep Gabriel warm, but the snow kept getting in our way. As I walked through the snow, all the memories from the Giver I learned came up in my mind growing in a cycle and I felt balmy. The colors, food I liked, the sleigh all I learned, all the memories warmth myself even in the snow. Yes, I felt warm, but as the memory grew, I felt more exhausted. I shouted for help without any power and collapsed in the snow wondering if somebody would help us. I…

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…

lyrics and a catchy tune. Music requires much thought and effort in order to create a successful sound. Learning music requires an abundance of memory and patience. But how is our mind supposed to remember certain musical terms and characteristics? When dealing with memory, our brains work almost similar to a computer. Our brains store multiple memories from years before, weeks before and even days before. Mnemonic devices are tricks that allow our brain to encode and recall important…

This research was focused on “kinds”, or in other words, a group of things that have similar features/qualities, and how they play a part in children’s lives. Specifically, memory. There has been a lot of previous research done on the concept of “kinds,” but there has been none that connects it to memory. The previous research is about how children are very well developed in this cognitive ability, even though they are so young. Normally, most of a child’s cognitive abilities are not very well…
