Working memory

David H. Ingvar in the article On Volition: A Neurophysiologically Oriented Essay states that in each neuropsychological aspect of the will we can show three separate steps behind the desired act. In the first step, there is awareness of the necessity of achieving the future goal, where stimulation stems from cognitive analysis that is emotionally colored and ultimately leads to awareness. Subcortical structures are involved in this process, and different electrophysiological studies show that…

The participants included 48 young adults recruited from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro campus. There were 15 men and 33…

“A false memory is a mental experience that is mistakenly taken to be a veridical representation of an event from one’s personal past. Memories can be false in relatively minor ways and in major ways that have profound implications for oneself and others” (Psychology of False Memories, 2001). In simpler terms, this definition means a false memory is the recollection of an event that did not actually happen. The purpose of this assignment is to show if the five subjects tested demonstrate the…

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).

After watching the related videos on questioning and memory of eye witnesses I have learned that the witnesses play a huge part in determining who they saw at the scene of the crime.

The courts see eye witness testimony as a crucial factor into determining who has committed the crime. One way that humans tend to memorize things is by seeing the…

Chan, Thomas, and Bulevich (2009) demonstrate how easily is to shape and change the person’s memory.

The researchers were inspired by Loftus misinformation effect study; known as Loftus’s misinformation paradigm. Chan, Thomas, and Bulevich (2009) believed that when someone is exposed to immediate recall testing people should be able to enhance…

We all know that memory can be a very confusing topic to understand. Nevertheless, it is a very interesting topic. In certain studies that will be discussed further ahead, they talk about how memories are always disrupted when it comes to thinking or remembering certain things. These studies have been tested over many years but, the results may not always be certain. My group and I plan to reenter the topic of memory to find out how false memories come to be. It is important that we be able to…
