Declarative memory

Consolidation of memory; the process of maintaining information in your LTM is strongly influenced by the role of sleep (Potkin and Bunney, 2012). “Declarative memory or explicit memory, emphasizes the representation and organization of factual knowledge (Reed, 2013).” Declarative memory plays a key role in an adolescent’s school performance and the process of consecutive social functioning. This study explores the effect of normal sleep on auditory declarative memory in adolescents ages 10-14. A hypotheses of this study being; if performance on the control working memory task involves encoding and memoranda manipulation, then control of working memory will not be affected by time, day or relationship to sleep, rather declarative memory is…

successful with a case in court. In Chapter 6, the concepts of memory and forgetting were examined. Memory is “the process of encoding, storage, and retrieval of information” (Wood, Wood, & Boyd, 2014. p. 179). Our memories are processed by the Three Memory Systems, which were suggested by Shiffrin and Atkinson. The Three Memory Systems consists of sensory memory (temporary storage), short-term memory (less than 30 seconds), and long-term memory (from minutes to lifetime storage). Often the…

Recent studies that sleep’s function goes far beyond rest and replenishment. It also involves a state of active offline information processing that is essential to the appropriate functioning of learning and memory. It has been established that there are three important stages in memory; new memories are initially acquired (encoding), become strengthened and reorganized (consolidation), and are finally recalled (retrieval) (Feld and Diekelmann, 2015). Memory is often divided into two…

Memories that are processed with a strong memory, emotion or meaning will most likely be easier to remember and retrieve. If a person really enjoys math, they will be able to retrieve math related information easier than a person who hates math. Likewise if a person enjoys a movie they will most likely be able to remember things from that movie. There are two types of long-term memories; Non-declarative and Declarative. Non-Declarative memories are the memories for habits, skills, and…

that replicate the human memory process. These companies aim to increase over all life satisfaction by providing their consumers with products that allow for retrieval of their favorite memories through digital memory, rather than declarative memory processes. Two separate processes – semantic and episodic memory– make up our declarative memory and allow us to recall information. Through our semantic memory, we are able to refer to general facts, ideas, and concepts that we have obtained over…

sleep has been the topic of discussion. Not only is sleep important but it surrounds our everyday lives. Since, birth our schedule has been around sleep. For example, mom’s have a specific schedule for their child about when they should sleep and when they should be awake. Sleep is not only important in young children but also important as they begin to develop into adulthood. As the child begins to development sleep becomes very important in learning because not only is our brain making a lot…

There have been various studies that measure the improvements of visual declarative memory in children but not for auditory declarative memory. The hypothesis of this research would be to see if the auditory declarative memory does improve after these children have a well rested night of sleep. In the study of proving that sleep does help auditory declarative memory in early age adolescents, the method they chose to use for this test was to twenty males and twenty females all between the ages…

Client 1 (Jake): 1. Cognitive impairments and assessments: The first cognitive impairment that might be contributing to Jake’s problem is a deficit in content-dependent (long-term) memory. According to Jake’s report, he has deficits in both declarative and non-declarative memory. Declarative memory includes semantic memory, which is the storage of facts and word meanings. Non-declarative memory includes implicit memory, which entails procedural and priming memory. Jake reported that he has…

As it is explained above, any kind of modality can affect memory either in a good or bad way, and it has established that when the correct modality is obtained from an accurate source, it has been more positive going waveform than when items determined as new (Rugg and Wilding, 1996). Moreover, different modalities can create the problem to a person and make confusion which sources are experienced. Contrary to the information described above about sensory memory, Kayser, et al. (2007) claim that…

How Hollywood Forgets the Real Facts About Memory Loss While the most intense amnesia syndromes are normally triggered by neurosurgery, brain infection, or a stroke (Baxendale, 2004), amnesia caused by traumatic brain injuries and psychological stress seem to occur more often in Hollywood cinema. Through the protagonists of The Bourne Series and Anastasia, Hollywood follows the aftermath of traumatic incidences which cause both individuals to develop retrograde amnesia and lose their identity.…
