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…

software programs which are designed to improve memory use a prior established principle of distributed practice also known as “spaced repetition”. Distributed practice entails repeated analysis of new material. 17) If a person were to state that flashbulb memories are 100% accurate recollections of important events, I myself would bring up the argument that flashbulb memories also experience the same alterations and deteriorations as every other type of memory and are not always perfect. 18)…

Abstract Eyewitness misidentification is one of the leading causes of wrongful conviction. The correlation between confidence and memory, effects of stress on memory, and the accuracy of identification have been proven to be false. Research studies indicate that misinterpretation can occur in one of three stages of the memory process acquisition, retention, and retrieval which are not exempt to that of an eyewitness. This paper will speak on the validity of eyewitness testimonies in the…

Loftus has found that when an event is recalled, it isn’t accurately re-created. The memory is actually a reconstruction of the actual event. Your brain is using new and existing information to fill the gaps in your memory. She states that memories can change over time. Going off of what we know about memory, this study focuses on the wording of questions asked of eyewitnesses could alter their memories of events when they were asked other questions about the events at a later time. In…

are kept outside David’s memory while his psychic apparatus is exposed to compulsive repetitions of Dulcie (Potamianou 947). She is the unspeakable figure of David’s story because she is a woman who was shamefully violated (Baiada 38). The after-effects of this trauma leave the mind paralyzed, making it deficient in its ability to elaborate on the subject (Potamianou 946). Thus, David refuses to make…

“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.” - Haruki Murakami. Memories can either be thoughts that take you back to wonderful moments in the past, or dreadful memories you never want to experience again.

In The Utterly Perfect Murder by Ray Bradbury, Doug has horrific childhood memories with Ralph Underhill that he will never be able to…

Memory Structures Amnesia is a partial or total loss of memory. It is usually caused after an event causing brain damage and has 2 major symptoms. The first, anterograde amnesia, is the inability to learn new, explicit information after trauma. The second, retrograde amnesia, is the inability to retrieve explicit information from time prior to trauma, with a temporal grading, meaning newer memories are more susceptible to loss (Psych 240 Lecture, 10-15-14). Amnesia has been the focus of…

Memories have a major influence on everyone. They can define who someone is, alter memories, or be good/bad things that are remembered. In the memory play, The Glass Menagerie, the character’s memories are either inaccurate or altered because something was too painful so it needed to be blocked out which could cause new memories to form. A memory can be affected by emotion, which causes people to forget or exclude some parts of a memory. A question that is constantly asked is “Can emotion…
