Hi Dr. Brook's The Memory: A Contribution To Experimental Psychology

* Consolidation- hypothetical process involving gradual conversion of information into memory codes stored in long term memory.

In this book, the author describes the long process it takes to create a national museum that will commemorate the Holocaust. He covers issues such as, the location of it, the design and construction aspects of the museum building. He informs readers about how they’ve tried to represent the Holocaust through the museum with sensitivity. I will use specific facts from this book to show that this museum was built with the help of many and required a lot of thought into it. I will show that this museum does in fact show sensitivity to an individual.

Memory is a set of cognitive processes that allow us to remember past information (retrospective memory) and future obligations (prospective memory) so we can navigate our lives. The strength of our memory can be influenced by the connections we make through different cognitive faculties as well as by the amount of time we spend devoting to learning specific material across different points in time. New memories are created every time we remember specific event, which results in retrospective memories changing over time. Memory recall can be affected retrospectively such as seeing increased recall in the presence of contextual cues or false recall of information following leading questions. Memory also includes the process

Memory is a capacity that humans rely upon to relate to different events, experiences, conditions, and people. It is a vitally important process and system whereby the brain receives information from (external or internal) stimuli, stores it (encoding), and makes it available on a future occasion (retrieval). It provides continuity to people’s experiences across different periods of time.

The Evidence for the Existence of Multiple Memory Systems Memory forms an important part of cognitive psychology and has been of interest to numerous psychologists. This essay is going to refer specifically to the information-processing model of memory and will discuss the experimental evidence that exists for multiple memory systems. The multi-store model of memory was first developed by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) and Waugh and Norman (1965).[1] It comprises sensory stores, short term-store and long-term store to form a model of memory and information processing. One component of the system is the sensory register, where our feature detection and pattern recognition processes produce a

Treatment: cognitive therapy, no medication for this disorder but you will need to treat pre-existing disorder(s) if there is one, family therapy, creative therapy, clinical hypnosis

The tragic events of humanity are often firmly held in our memory as events that must be memorialized and remembered in order to prevent future tragedy. Remembering the victims of human-perpetrated destruction is visualized as a method of bringing justice to those who have been lost, as well as a prevention mechanism for further human destruction. Although it is essential that we remember and memorialize catastrophic events such as the Holocaust, it is fundamental that we acknowledge remembrance does not prevent future catastrophic destruction. In fact, David Rieff argues the act of remembering and the refusal to forgive and forget consequentially leads to increased and continual violence based on reprisal. Before addressing the importance of memory and the times in which it may be beneficial to forget and move on, the foundation of collective memory and how it operates in society must be addressed.

Richard F. Thompson was a memory scientist who conducted research on where and how memory is stored and transformed in the brain. He conducted research on the cerebellum, which is a lower brain structure that deals with physical movement, to see how reactions are created and reestablished every time a certain thing happens, which is basically a reflex (Hockenbury, Nolan, & Hockenbury, 2016). His research was to study how a basic function reflex occurs, and how the memory knows to react when something occurs again in the same manner. Thompson succeeded in his research, by conducting an experiment with rabbits and their blinking reflexes (Hockenbury, et al., 2016). He designed a way where rabbits would react to a tone in where they would blink to it (Hockenbury, et al., 2016). He then took an extra step away from the brain, and the rabbits would still react in the same way to the tone, which lead him to discover that the main memory function is stored in the cerebellum (Hockenbury, et al., 2016).

One particular memory sticks out when I think of a time I was a good influence on someone. I was playing with my neighbor Evelyn. It was late August and she was telling me how she was afraid to start kindergarten in the fall. I am two years older than her so I had already been through two years of school. I spent the entire day telling her all about how great kindergarten is and explaining how fun the games and other kids are. When we finished talking it was decided that we would pretend that it was the first day of school. I was the teacher and Evelyn was the student, at the end of the day Evelyn said she was no longer afraid of kindergarten, she was excited. Several weeks later after school started Evelyn's mother told me how I helped Evelyn

Memory repression is more likely to occur in the adolescent mind due to underdevelopment of the brain.

The two concepts that I resonated with are Memory and the Psychodynamic theory. Starting with the Psychodynamic theory is an approach to psychology that studies the psychological forces underlying human behavior, feelings, and emotions, and how they may relate to early childhood experience. This theory is most closely associated with the work of Sigmund Freud, and with psychoanalysis, a type of psychotherapy that attempts to explore the patient’s unconscious thoughts and emotions so that the person is better able to understand him or herself. The second one is Memory; understanding how memory works will help you improves your memory. Which is an essential key to attaining knowledge. Memory is one of the important cognitive processes. Memory involves remembering and forgetting. I chose the two concepts because throughout the class they stood out to the most. Understanding the conscious, subconscious mind and also memory. I’m interested in understanding the human behavior.

It was a very hot saturday evening and Lonzo and Lamelo were playing basketball in the park. Lonzo and Lamelo played basketball until the night to practice, so they finished and walked back to there house. (Lonzo and Lamelo are brothers) They go try to go to there house but they get lost,so they try calling and texting there mom and dad, but they didn’t answer because it was very late.

The class period’s objective was to develop speaking and presentation skills. To get the students engaged to participate in the lesson the teacher began the class by explaining to the students about today’s subject, “Your Earliest Memory” and what is expected from them about the assignment. Then she followed her instructions by giving the class an example, a story about her own experience to illustrate the lesson’s theme.

Memory makes us. It is, to an extent, a collection of unique and personal experiences that we, as individuals, have amassed over our lifetime. It is what connects us to our past and what shapes our present and the future. If we are unable remember the what, when, where, and who of our everyday lives, our level of functioning would be greatly impacted. Memory is defined as or recognized as the “sum or total of what we remember.” Memory provides us the ability to learn and adjust to or from prior experiences. In addition, memory or our ability to remember plays an integral role in the building and sustaining of relationships. Additionally, memory is also a process; it is how we internalize and store our external environment and experiences. It entails the capacity to remember past experiences, and the process of recalling previous experiences, information, impressions, habits and skills to awareness. It is the storage of materials learned and/or retained from our experiences. This fact is demonstrated by the modification, adjustment and/or adaptation of structure or behavior. Furthermore, we as individuals, envision thoughts and ideas of the present through short-term memory, or in our working memory, we warehouse past experiences and learned values in long-term memory, also referred to as episodic or semantic memory. Most importantly, memory is malleable and it is intimately linked to our sense of identity and where we believe we belong in the world.
