Short-term memory

Wegner (1986), transactive memory indicates the provision that “one person has access to information in another’s memory by virtue of knowing that the other person is a location for an item with a certain label.” Thus, people would improve their own memory when they are communicating. Therefore, transactive memory, as it relates to teamwork, assists each person when they are trying to find information from other members of the team by way of communication. A transactive memory system (TMS) has…

As people age, some memory loss is normal. Almost everyone will forget where they put their keys, but if a loved one forgets what a key is, or how to use it, the problem is much more severe. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, and memory is one of the brain’s most complex functions. Memory allows humans to recall a wide range of experiences and information, including names, visual impressions, language, sounds, flavors and so on. The brain integrates these experiences, along…

Memory is an extremely important element in shaping our intellect. Technology should not be relied upon to replace memory. At any point, technology can crash, or information can be inaccurate, so it should not be depended on to give answers and information. Memorization and research are better means to building our intellect. Technology can sometimes be a distraction from communication, learning and gaining intellect. Many would rather use technology to store the information we need in place…

in Working Memory Assessment”, by Hilbert, Sven, Tristan T. Nakagawa, Patricia Puci, Alexandra Zech, and Markus Buhner, aims at investigating the differences in performance between visualizers and verbalizers cognitive strategies by using digit span backwards. The digit span backwards has been used for many decades to assess the working memory capacity. The concept of working memory initiates the way we are able to memorize certain tasks and how we manipulate information into our memory. By…

theory argues that deep processing leads to better long term memory than shallow processing. Shallow processing takes two forms and they are structural and phonemic processing. Structural processing focuses more on how the letters look or the typeface of a word. Phonemic focuses more on how the word sounds. In all shallow processing is just when we hear something repeatedly and the repetition helps the brain hold onto the memory for short term. Deep processing involves…

this assignment to be updated by a more recent article was the research study conducted on how colour based synesthesia affects memory performance on a given task (Smilek, Dixon, Cudahy, & Merikle, 2002). A 21 year old female, C, was the synesthete in this study who claimed to remember all of the digits in four lists that were presented to a university class, as a memory span exercise, with perfect accuracy while the other students could only remember six of the nine digits in each list. It was…

Pixar Animations and the psychology of memory to create an educational movie for not just young children, but for adults as well. Many adults to this day do not have a clue as to how our memory works, and this movie is a great way to interest an adult to learn more. Arguably the saddest scene of the movie is when Bing Bong is permanently forgotten, and this causes one to wonder how forgetting really works. Inside out demonstrates the basic concepts of how memories are forgotten within our brain.…

INTRODUCTION “Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose." (Arnold, n.d.) Memories are the things we uphold. Whether they are good or bad, those memories are engraved in us and can't be stolen from us. However, what if as time goes by, and we age, those memories start to fade or are forgotten? Losing your language skills, ability to recognize a familiar face and feel a sense of depression. Alzheimer's disease is one of the…
