Recommended: Short note on short term memory

I really enjoyed reading your post and I liked the examples that you provided. To answer your question, and I have stated this in my own post, I have always had a hard time remembering things that have happened in my past. I do know that nothing traumatic has occurred to me and after our reading this week, I feel that my memory “problem” is the distortion theory due to the fact that I can remember the “big picture”, just not all of the details. I know you that mentioned in your post that short-term memory “has a limited capacity of about 20 seconds”, and according to Mastin (2010a), “typically from 10 to 15 seconds, or sometimes up to a minute”, however, I feel that it can be longer. For instance, if one was studying to take a test and

  • Interference in Memory Recall

    Interference in memory recall can be affected by nutrition deficiencies and stress. Korsakoff’s syndrome which is as a result of a lack of vitamin B1 or thiamine, does adversely affect memory in some patients with alcoholism (Carlson, 2010). Stress has also been found to interfere with recall in people when faced with the stress of surviving a natural disaster. Usually Korsakoff’s syndrome is found in older patients who have drunk alcohol for decades, but the thiamine deficiency can cause cognitive impairments in younger patients also (Terry, 2009).

  • An Outline of Findings and Conclusions of Research into the Capacity of Short-Term Memory

    Jacobs also found that short-term memory span increased with age, for example he found a 6.6 average for eight-year-old children compared to 8.6 for nineteen-year-olds. From Jacob's research we can see that short-term memory has a limited storage capacity of between five and nine items. The capacity of short-term memory isn't determined much by the nature of the information to be learned but by the size of the short-term memory span, which is fairly uniform across individuals of a given age. Individual differences were found as short-term memory span increased with age, this may be due to increasing brain capacity or improved memory techniques, such as chunking. 2)

  • Repressed Memory: The Missinginformation Effect

    1726 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine having a memory of a very traumatic event resurface in your mind after forgetting about it for twenty years. That is what happened to Eileen Franklin in 1989 when she had recovered what is called a repressed memory of her father, George Franklin, killing her friend in 1969, which eventually lead to her father getting a sentence of life in prison (Beaver, 1996). A repressed memory is a memory that is not forgotten, but is a memory of something traumatic that is blocked and not recovered unless triggered by something. Although her descriptions of the event were very vivid, describing colors and sounds, most of what she described could be proven inaccurate. Some of what she described was information that was misreported in newspapers that she had probably read or been told about in the past. This is an example of the misinformation effect. Misinformation effect is when someone is misled by information about an event that they witnessed and has an effect on how they remember that event later. This is just one example of how the misinformation effect can change how an event is described.

  • The Importance Of False Memory

    1227 Words  | 3 Pages

    Can memories be biased? Researchers Postarino and Doyle-Portillio (2013); Bernstein and Loftus (2009); and Bartholomew (2009) found increasing evidence to suggest that the answer to this question is yes. Explicit and implicit memories are encoded differently, but it appears both can be fallible. Also worth noting, is that this can happen without a person conscious awareness. Kolb and Whishaw (2014) examined studies that gave participants a list of words, then gave them a second list. The second list contained some, but not all items from the first list, but many participants thought the word sugar was on both, when in fact it was only on the second. Similar words like cake, sweet, and candy were on the first so this seemed to confuse participants. This phenomena researchers refer to as false memory. False memory is different from a lie; unlike a lie, the individual in this case may give false account of the past truly believing that he or she is telling the truth. In other words, false memory can simply be defined as mental experience that is wrongfully considered as the truthful representation of the past. False memories can result in both minor and serious consequences Bernstein & Loftus, 2009; Bartholomew, 2009).

  • Oklahoma City Bombing: An Example Of A Memory Error

    269 Words  | 1 Pages

    Something that I found interesting when looking through the chapters in the book was the concept of memory gaps and errors. It’s an intriguing thought that people can believe they saw one thing when they actually had not experienced that specific event. The example the book uses is really mind-opening. It describes a tragic event in which a plane lost control and crashed into a building. When people were asked about the event, the researches asked if they had seen the movie where the plane crashes. The majority of the people questioned said they had seen the movie and could remember specific events although this event was never recorded or made into a film. It really made me wonder if I have any recollections of events that I believe happened in one way but that really happened in another way.

  • The Negative Effects Of False Memory

    964 Words  | 2 Pages

    Research has shown that even though information may be committed to memory, what is retrieved can be altered during the encoding process. It has been said that, “the recollection of memory can be manipulated and or large aspects of the event can be confabulated.” (Cain,1997). Moreover, the recollection of past experiences can negatively affect future decisions, opinions, and more significant outcomes such as an eyewitness. This type of impact is due to something called, “false memories.” False memories can be defined as “an recollection of an event that never actually occurred.” False memories are said to be normal occurrences and have little impact on lives. However, Loftus and Palmer argue something different. In 1974, Loftus and Palmer conducted an experiment to test out the theory behind “false memories.” Their aim was to show that language used in eyewitness testimony can alter memory. People in this experiment were asked to estimate the speed of motor vehicles using different ways of questioning. Loftus and Palmer asked questions in regards to vehicle speed because typically that is something that most people are bad at estimating. Therefore these people would be more vulnerable and open to suggestions. The procedure of this experiment involved participants watching a video of cars. Participants were asked what they had seen in regards to how that car came in contact with the other car. Loftus and Palmer used words like “crashed, collided, hit, and smashed.” Their findings concluded that the estimated speed was affected by the verb used to describe the cars’ contact with one another. It seem as if participants saw that the verbs as clues of the speed the cars were going. Loftus and Palmer also came to the conclusion that there could only be two reasons for their findings. Those reasons were Response- bias factors or the fact that the memory representation is alter.

  • The False Memory Task

    703 Words  | 2 Pages

    The concept of false memory is important. In everyday life, mistaking what we know can affect us, in small ways as well as large. Mistakes can be something like mixing up theories and their definitions, or confusing a friend’s birthday with someone else’s, or even misremembering tragic events like the Oklahoma City Bombing. Our memories are susceptible to inaccuracies, it is paramount that we keep this in mind in places such as the court room, or even our everyday lives. With this understanding, I now know that not everything I remember is necessarily true. But I also know that our memories are right the majority of the time, and that we should trust our knowledge of the world.

    Howe (2013) focuses on childhood development of memory and why adult recollection of childhood events may be faulty. There are four main reasons why it is difficult to remember events from early childhood. The first reason is that a child’s semantic memory or memory for general facts and knowledge is not as developed. They do not understand certain concepts so they cannot encode those concepts into their

  • Memory

    Memory is the tool we use to learn and think. We all use memory in our everyday lives. Memory is the mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experiences. We all reassure ourselves that our memories are accurate and precise. Many people believe that they would be able to remember anything from the event and the different features of the situation. Yet, people don’t realize the fact that the more you think about a situation the more likely the story will change. Our memories are not a camcorder or a camera. Our memory tends to be very selective and reconstructive.

  • Forgetfulness: Decay Theory and Interference Theory

    621 Words  | 2 Pages

    Do you ever forget things and just get so mad when you remember it at the last minute or you just don’t remember it at all? “Why do we forget things?” You may be saying to yourself, This can be caused by a variety of things such as being distracted or you don’t pay too much attention to what you had to remember..etc Theres things you can do to help you remember stuff . But Before you stress out yourself over how much you forget things and blame yourself, you should blame your parents because they could be the reason why as well as you will learn later on in the writing. As I mentioned before there are different types of forgetfulness, to name a few there are Absentmindness, Misttribution, And persistent. Absentmindess occurs when you don’t pay close attention to what you learn. (Forgetfulness types) And you will most likely forget the information soon. (Forgetfulness types). You tend to not be a paying attention and start zoning out (absent-mindedness). You have most of your attention to something ,that is called “hyperfocus” and this makes a person oblivious to there surroundings(absent-mindedness). Or you get distracted by focusing on irrelevant thoughts (absent-mindedness). For example, do you ever go in the shower and just start thinking about things, and before you know it, its already been an hour because you were too busy thinking and forgot you were In the shower. Misttribution you remember information correctly, but being wrong about the source of that information (sparknotes). So for example “After witnessing a car crash on the freeway, Sam later tells friends many details about what he saw. It turns out, however, that there is no way he could have actually seen some of the details he described and that he is, in ...

  • Short Term and Long Term Memory

    1251 Words  | 3 Pages

    Information stored in short term memory has a very limited time span, and there are two main reasons for this. Information can be displaced .ie. old information somehow keeps being dumped whenever more recent information enters. Information can decay .ie. where the memory trace becomes eroded over time by an unknown physiological process, so it’s detail becomes progressively extinct. Often, each factor plays an equal role in memory loss. One way to encode information befre it is erased in short term memory is by a process of organisation. This means the individual groups together or pairs off the necessary information given in order to remember it (store it in short term memory) rather than learning information off at random. This process of organisation makes it much easier to remember information.

  • Memory Loss

    838 Words  | 2 Pages

    Short-term memory enables a person to remember conversation, events, and numbers and much more; nevertheless, when someone suffers short-term memory loss forgets many affairs but this type of forgetting is much more complex. Short-term memory means to stimulate memory that holds few information for a short period, such a dialing seven digits of a phone number, before the data is shorted or forgotten (Meyers, 2011). For example, when you are studying you look at the flash card for a brief 30 second and then you cover the card and try to recall information from the flash card. Our short-term memory helps store the information from the flashcard for a little period, but if we persistently practice this information then it transfers to the long-term memory. In contrast, when a person experiences short-term memory loss, then it signifies that...
