Neurobiology of Learning and Memory: The Role of sleep in false memory formation is a report published by J.D Payne from Harvard University Medical division. Payne and his team carried out a series of experiments to establish the effects that sleep has on the formation of false memory in human beings. Establishing the effects that sleep has on false memories formation is the main objective of this study. The study is significant due to the contribution that it makes in the field of psychology…

Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). The areas of cognitive processing ability measured include crystallized intelligence, short-term memory, visual-spatial processing, reasoning ability, and processing speed. The subtest measure different cognitive processing abilities combine to form five index scores: Verbal Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed which all together make up the Full Scale IQ score. Daniel obtained a score of 99 (47th…

judgement, relative and absolute using the WITNESS model (a computerised memory and decision-making model that produces eyewitness response probabilities) in simultaneous and sequential lineups. This report seeks to understand which judgement model produces the higher probative value for eyewitness identification. The authors…

Virtual Child has been an incredible learning tool especially when it comes to all the different milestones children achieve throughout their life. The most important childhood developments are their sleeping, health, eating, and motor development. My own virtual child, Delilah, experiences all of these adaptions that a usual child at eighteen months would up to that point. At the age of eighteen months, her sleeping and eating have regulated to the point where she gets regular sleep and enjoys…

Cognitive psychology is the study of your brain and your mental process. One of the mental processes that are staged in cognitive psychology is your memory. The theoretical basis of my study was schema. Schema in psychology describes a pattern of thought or behavior that organizes categories of information and the relationships among them. Schema however is also part of the cognitive part of psychology. A Schema ‘theory’ basically states that everything you know is organized into units. Schema…

WA #2 In Loftus’s article “Leading Questions and the Eyewitness Report”, she investigates how being asked a sequence of questions after witnessing a major event may affect the memory that develops after it. With her hypothesis, she suggests how wording to a question can affect a person’s answer to it. An example to back it up was reported by Harris in 1973. His volunteers were told the experiment was a study of accuracy of guessing correct measurements. After, they were asked questions like “How…

Baddeley created the working memory model as a way of explaining short term memory. He proposed that it consisted of 3 subsections, a central executive, a phonological loop and a visuo-spatial sketchpad, these subsystems are then further fractionated. Logie (1995) proposed that the visuo-spatial sketchpad is divided into two components; a visual cache and an inner scribe. The inner scribe contains information on movement and spatial awareness. Whereas the visual cache stores information about…
