Explain Jim's Inaccurate Vivid Flashbulb Memory

Decent Essays
To explain Jim's inaccurate vivid flashbulb memory of him remembering a day when his parents won the lottery and recalling all the events and things that went on in that day exactly as he believes they did. A simple and logical explanation that psychologists would come out with in answering this question would be that Jim has gathered all these false memories from events he has gone throughout his life. Perhaps just a month before he recalled his memory he had played the board games with his siblings and over the time of a month his mind assigned that experience with his memory of when his parents won the lottery. This assignment of the brain combining memories with others is because flashbulb memories change over time. Jim had an episode Source

    Our expectations, experiences, and current knowledge all affect how memories are created. Many people do not realize how flawed our memory can be. The largest component of our memory is called autobiographical memory, it is a collection of memories that can describe our past. Autobiographical memory includes both episodic and semantic memory. For example, we can remember hiking in the Smokey mountains, seeing all the trees and remembering some of the conversations we had with friends (episodic memory) ; It might also include how you traveled to the Smokey mountains (by plane or car) or a list of your hiking gear and the time of day you hiked (semantic memory).…

    The inaccuracies of Jim’s recollection of what happened in the past occurs because as new memories are formed in his brain, old memories are being whipped out from his long-term memory. His emotions he felt at the time when the event took place created an automatic encoded memory stamp that took no effort being placed in his long-term memory bank. In other words, this false memory created by Jim became part of actual memory which in turn affects the accuracy of what really happened. As time goes by, that flashbulb memory from his childhood often deteriorate due to it being altered or revised so many times during the retrieval process. Over time, this memory can be completely inaccurate.…

    Flashbulb memories have been compared to operating like video cameras, which may seem like an accurate comparison to people who have experienced these types of memories. The only problem with this comparison is that flashbulb memories, like any other memory, are prone to change over time. The theory of Roger Brown and James Kulik that argued that flashbulb memories do not decay over time has since been disproven with more modern studies. Since flashbulb memories are not immune to decay, it is very possible and maybe even likely, that Jim would create a false memory regarding what he was doing when his parents won the lottery when he was a child. Assuming that Jim is an adult now, this even occured many years ago, making it even more likely…

To forget something means that some of the information that is entered into the long-term memory is lost.

    Psychologists are interested in studying memory illusions and distortions in order to discover how the memory works (Bartlett, 1932; Schacter, 2001). An interest in false memories arose in the 1900s, and led to people trying to discover if suggested influences can lead to remembering pseudo-events. A procedure was introduced where adults were given a description of a childhood event, and asked to remember them (Loftus and Pickrell, 1995). All of the events described would be true except for one. Eight studies used the familial-informant false-narrative procedure where narratives were read to test subjects and they were asked to remember them.…

    George Miller’s magical number 7, plus or minus two, helps confirm the capacity of short term memory (Miller, 1956). Most people 18 and over can hold 5 to 9 items in their short term memory (Miller, 1956). Miller believed that short term memory could only hold his magic number because of the limited “slots” in which memory could be placed in the brain. Miller reached this conclusion by getting the participants of the initial study to listen to a number of tones that were different by pitch. Every sound was produced solely, and the participant was asked to match each sound corresponding to the other tones that they had already heard.…

Even though our brain should be able to sort the real memories from the false ones, many times we can be tricked into remembering something that we never experienced. This is called false memory. False memory is when a person is implanted with a recollection of an event that they then are confident actually happened to them.…
