What´s Shared Memory?

The two texts, "Excerpt from Martin Sloane: A Novel", by Michael Redhill and "Ode to a Box of Tea" by Pablo Neruda have several things in common. These things relate to how the authors of each text talk about their memories and the objects that go along with those memories.

Salvador Dali’s 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory is a hallmark of the surrealist movement. Dali famously described his paintings as “hand-painted dream photographs” and The Persistence of Memory is a prime example of that description. The Persistence of Memory depicts striking and confusing images of melting pocket watches and a mysterious fetus-like structure all sprawled over the dreamscape representation of Dali’s home of Port Lligat, Spain. Dali uses strange images, color, and shadows in The Persistence of Memory to convey an abstract view on dreams, time, and reality.

I read the book Flares of Memory, put together by Sheila Chamovitz and edited by Anita Brostoff, written in 2001. This book is a compiled list of stories of children who experienced the Holocaust and survived. The line “I never saw any of my family again” (Brostoff, xxxiii) or similar variations of this line were stated multiple times throughout the book, mostly at the end of the children’s accounts of the events they endured. Just the thought of having to go through what these children went through makes me appreciate what I have in life much more. The thought of losing my family, although they annoy me sometimes, brought tears to my eyes. It made me think about the things that many take for granted. In reading this book, I found that

One can never forget their first kindergarten field trip, or the way your grandma’s house smells, your favorite song, or your first love, but how do we store and remember so many memories throughout our lifespan, in our brain? A memory is a “faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information”, but how? Memories are stored in direct braincells and brain structures, which allow us to remember our memories. Some memories can depend on one single molecule for their life long remembrance, and replay of episodes. Memories are stored in two ways, short term memory and long-term memory. These three different stages of memory allow us to take in and handle each little thing we learn in just one day. They keep us sane.

This article explains the importance of getting the perfect amount of sleep at night. The idea that sleeping for less than five hours or more than nine hours proves to have a negative effect on the human body. Sleep deprivation has a closely related link to memory retention and can cause a person to have trouble with daily task. The author continues to explain that not only is the brain effected by too little or too much sleep, but the rest of the body is also effected. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and even depression have links to not getting the perfect amount of sleep. The article concludes with listing tips to get the ideal amount of sleep at night, such as, going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day and limiting the amount of caffeine that is consumed throughout the day.

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

1. Name and describe two areas of the forebrain that are involved in memory. How do they differ in function?

Everybody has wanted to know about a person without feeling like a total creep at least once in their lifetime. Well now you can with these nifty little invention that has been clinging to human civilization since the olden days, books. In the pieces literature”One Million Volumes,” and “Keep Memory Alive” you can find common message embedded in text that states the importance our connection to the past. Both stories tells a message, each has details that support a shared message, and both of these stories’ messages can relate to our own lives in some way.

What people have seen and stored in mind might be changed by some compromised guide, or sometimes just by their own intricate memory. As time goes by, these stored memory has already lost its own value. In this essay, Gould supports his own idea by giving two specific examples. First example talks about how certainty changed due to compromised guide. In this case, questionnaires provide a compromised setting to persuade students that there are either 4 or 12 demonstrators in the videotape. However, actually there is only 8 of them. Gould provides another example to support his idea of the uncertainty of memory due to its own intricate. He has visited Devil Tower twice as he thinks of. Nevertheless, he notices that the vision from east to the

It was very interesting working with Process Explorer this week. Being able to see how memory was being allocated actively made me have a much better appreciation of what is going on at any given moment. I can see this being a very useful tool for me in the future. While I didn’t note any particular memory usage “issues” as far as I could tell, I could anticipate using this, or a similar tool, to identify potential problem processes running on a system. I’m looking forward to seeing the use of similar programs for things like a server OS and seeing the interactions of various computers working off of it. Obviously, memory is being allocated and freed constantly

Imagine having the ability to take a screenshot of what one sees. It sounds like photographic memory, that superhuman ability one often hears about on Dateline or movies and shows. As much as the idea of saving everything one has ever perceived, storing it away like a file in a cabinet, and recalling it at a moment’s notice sounds amazing, it just isn’t plausible. Despite the stories you may have heard from friends, photographic memory is not real. This misconception is often muddled with eidetic memory. Eidetic memory is the ability to recall certain images in great detail for a certain amount of time. The key detail about eidetic memory is that these “snapshots” are not stored forever. They eventually fade over time

During time, historic cities kept transforming, meanwhile it conserves its identity and fulfilling the society ongoing requirements. (Halbwachs, 1950) people change and transform their built environment gradually to suit their needs, without affecting their mental map. The gradual transformation is presented in the frame of the familiar environment which maintains the sense of stability and continuity. Without change or brake its familiarity or affect their memory (Meusburger, 2011).

(1) In your own words, describe the three major components of the Information-Processing Model of memory: Sensory Memory, Short-term Memory, and Long-term Memory.

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.
