account to ask more question. Finally, the interviewer summarizes for the witness what was said. Prentiss takes an additional step, which is not necessarily part of a typical cognitive interview, by inducing a light trance that will link the girl’s memory holistically to its original context, including both sensory and cognitive components. This raises the issue of forensic hypnosis and the Encoding Specificity Principle. The accuracy of eyewitness report relies on the quality of three different perceptual

include memory loss, difficulties in thinking, language and problem solving. Alzheimer’s disease is a Neurodegerarative disorder and one of the most common causes of dementia (John P.J. Pinel, 2011). Dementia is caused as a result of damage to the brain through disease. These can be as a result of a number of strokes or Alzheimer’s disease. Latest figures suggest that in Britain alone almost 850,000 people will be suffering from this disease. Common symptoms of Alzheimer’s include memory loss which

grandmother described in detail her daugher who lived in Utah with 4 girls, one of those being myself. Though it seemed her memory was very clear on the subject, she did not realize that I was one of those 4 girls. My grandma has Alzheimer’s disease. She started showing mild signs of it around the age of 75 and it has slowly progressed over the years. Now, 10 years later her memory is almost completely gone. Alzheimer 's disease is an irreversible, abnormal, progressive deterioration of the brain that

Emotional arousal appears to have a huge effect on processing, memory, and decision making. For memories specifically, we tend to rehearse and review episodes of intense emotions frequently, allowing them to be stronger and more relevant memories (Gluck, 2014). Flashbulb memories suggest that emotion can greatly increase memory coding, though is still subject to misattribution errors. Still, evidence suggests that emotion can boost memory encoding (Webbe slides). When creating emotional experiences

Event Paper: "Our Home on Native Land: Indian Treaty Rights in Canada and the US” The lecture covered the basis on Indians’ treaties, the government, and how both (the treaties and government) clashed with the Native’s culture. The guest speaker was Gillian Allen, a lawyer, who worked on First Nations treaty-related affairs in Canada and an Aboriginal.

tested the episodic memory; how everyday brand experience left a mark in the memory and tried to discover that when these brands have been tested, could people able to separate previously shown brands and new brands from each other. Therefore, it examined whether familiarity or recollection would be more superior. Moreover, the source memory was tested using these brand logos. As a conclusion, this study was needed to use recollection to remember details in the source memory to press the correct

19th 2016 Abstract Sleep deprivation has a profound impact on all aspects of a person’s life including mental health and brain function. This paper delves into the effect of sleep on a multitude of diseases along with common problems such as memory loss. It shines a light on the damage done to brain chemicals due to a lack of sleep and its effects on depression along with why sleep deprivation is beginning to ravish the country overall. Effects of Sleep Deprivation on a Person’s Psychology

imaging to establish areas of the brain activated when subjects are asked to perform particular tasks. Two important processes that will be discussed are episodic memory and facial recognition. How experimental and neuropsychological studies have provided greater knowledge on how they are constructed is what will be discussed. Memories can be described as a person’s recollection of events in everyday life. Everyone has the ability to recall information stored in the brain. (Tulving, 2002) is an

Memories are considered precious artifacts of the mind. A variety of elements could impact and influence the way we remember things and if we remember things. Perhaps a traumatic brain injury, an untreated infection that has spread to the brain, or a brain tumor, even though these rarely take the blame this is still a possibility. Treatments for incurable diseases may cause memory problems with memory due to the adverse effects they have on the body and mind. Remembering what we are, what kind of

superior autobiographical memory, meaning he, or she, can recall all or the vast majority of personal experiences and events in their life. This term, “hyperthymesia," derives its name from the Greek words thymesis, translating to "remembering," and hyper, meaning "excessive." People with hyperthymesia can remember roughly every day of their lives in near flawless detail, as well as community events that hold some sort of personal significance to them. Those affected by hyperthymesia often portray their memories as uncontrollable
