There is Declarative or Sematic Memory is the things that you know without a doubt and can describe it and use facts and talk about it for as long as you need. For example, I could tell you everything you need to know about how to make an

The era I chose to create my music video in is 1900-1919: Leading up to WWI. If I were in this time period and would want to make a video that accompanied a song, I would harness the use of stop-motion video, since it was a relatively new invention. The artist would start and stop the camera, make a very small adjustment, and then start and stop the camera again. This, when played back, captured the object moving very subtly, making it look like it was moving on its own.
They are called, Long term memory and Short term memory/working memory. With Long term memory, you are able to remember things from your past and past events as well as key terms that you may have learned in the past. An example of this in my life would be, remembering knowledge that I first learned in school and still being able to remember it, such as my multiplication table. The second one, Short term memory/working memory would be used when you are only remembering some information and using it for a short time frame. Working memory would be when you are using both short term and long term to do sudden actions.
The Impossible Knife of Memory is a modern Young Adult fiction novel. It brings to light issues such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, substance abuse and family troubles. It tells the story of a father and daughter who have been on the road for years, running from their memories. They try to settle down so Hayley can finish her senior year at High School, but their past starts catching up on both of them.
There are two types of long term memory declarative and procedural. Longterm declarative memory is stored in the hippocampus of the brain, any damage to this part of the brain would cause one the inability to form new memories. Procedure memories are stored in the cerebellum (Parts of Brain 2015) . Working memory and the ability to retrieve information is in the prefrontal cortex. Also in the prefrontal lobe, different parts than the working memory, is the semantic and episodic memory.
Declarative (explicit) memory is the memory of facts/events that can be consciously recalled. When it comes to these memories, the hippocampus is critical for memory formation. Additionally, the hippocampus plays a vital role in short-term memory which is necessary for long-term memory to be established. On the other hand, non-declarative (implicit) memory is the memory of skills and how to do things. One case that shows we know that the hippocampus is not necessary to form new non-declarative (implicit) memory is Henry Molaison who appeared to have anterograde amnesia.
"Down the Memory Hole: The Disappearance of the Recent Past" examines how textbooks deal with times people still alive remember. Many African societies divide humans into three categories: those alive, the "sasha" (recently-departed, living-dead), and the "zamani" (the dead). When reading about "sasha" events, Americans judge how the authors have gotten it right or wrong based on their own experience. For the distant past, they necessarily read less critically.
The client I was seeing had returned from Afghanistan less than a year ago. After completing an assessment we sat down to record his military history. It is important to be careful when asking any questions, since it may trigger any underlying intrusive memories. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) follows a three symptom diagnosis criteria following an exposure to an overwhelming event. The first criteria would be questions on any haunting intrusive memories.
“Adaptive Memory Remembering With a Stone-Age Brain” Summary: This article describes the facts about adaptive memory, relation of memory development with evolution and reasons behind the evolution of the memory. Basically adaptive memory is the investigation of memory systems that have evolved to help hold survival-and fitness-related information, i.e., that are designed for helping an organism improve its conceptive fitness and odds of surviving. One key component of adaptive memory look into is the idea that memory evolved to help survival by better holding information that is fitness-relevant. One of the establishments of this technique for contemplating memory is the moderately minimal adaptive value of a memory system that evolved just
How reliable are the two models or theories of the cognitive process of memory, “|…|the process of maintaining information over time” (Matlin, 2005) , known as the multistore model (MSM) and the levels of processing model (LOP)? Both of these models have been widely criticized, but simultaneously they have improved our knowledge and understanding of how the process of memory works. In this essay both of these models of memory will be evaluated by presenting the strengths and limitations of each. The first model, the multistore model, was put forward by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) which suggests that the concept of memory involves three stores; the sensory stores, the short-term store (STS), and the long-term store (LTS).
“Experts call this consolidation, and it’s important for protecting against further information loss as well as boosting your ability to learn while you’re awake.” Storing important memories is another task that the brain takes on. Our brain chooses memories that it thinks are most important to us and intensifies those experiences in our mind. While the brain is
It involves conscious effort to recall and can be either be episodic or semantic. The other is procedural memory. It is usually the natural response to the surroundings, such as how to ride a bicycle or play the instrument. This type of long term memory can be remembered without consciously think about it.
