Memory fall 2020
Memory involves three main stages: encoding, storage, and retrieval. During encoding, information is organized and shaped into memories. Memories are not static recordings but can change over time as a constructive process. A traditional model of memory involves sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Short-term memory lasts up to 30 seconds while long-term memory has unlimited capacity but memories must be transferred from short-term through rehearsal. There are two main types of long-term memory: explicit/declarative and implicit/procedural. Factors like encoding specificity and emotional arousal can influence long-term memory formation and retrieval.
Chapter 9 memory converted
Memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. There are three main stages of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory briefly stores sensory information, short-term memory can hold information for around 20 seconds, and long-term memory stores information for long periods of time. Forgetting occurs when we are unable to retain or recall information, which can be due to reasons like interference, lack of attention, or neurological damage.
Memory
This document discusses different types of memory including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. It explains that sensory memory only lasts 1 second, short-term memory lasts 10-20 seconds, and long-term memory has a very large capacity for more permanent storage. The document also discusses different learning techniques like serial learning, paired associate learning, and free recall. It provides examples of each and discusses factors that influence memory like spacing of study sessions, meaningfulness of material, and mnemonic devices.
Thesis 3.30
This document presents a hypothesis that external memory created by social networking sites and digital recording may have negative consequences for personal and professional advancement. It discusses the different types of human memory and how digitization has revolutionized external memory by making all copies indistinguishable from the original. It also explores the challenges presented by the demise of forgetting, such as issues with power, accessibility, durability and comprehensiveness of memories over time. Potential solutions discussed include creating coping mechanisms to deal with unforgettable memories.
MeMorY human Behaviour
The document discusses memory and its three main types - sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. It describes the three stages of memory as encoding, storage, and retrieval. It also discusses how information is recalled from long-term memory through cues and recognition. Forgetting can occur due to decay over time, interference from new information, or insufficient retrieval cues. Strategies for improving memory include sleep, organization, diet, note-taking and practice.
Disorders of Memory (2007)
The document discusses various types and causes of memory disorders. It describes theories of forgetting such as decay and interference. It outlines the multi-store model of memory including sensory, short-term and long-term memory. Various memory disorders are explained like amnesia from brain damage or thiamine deficiency. Dissociative disorders involving repressed memories are also covered. Assessment methods for different memory systems and types of memory loss are presented.
Memory
Memory is the process of storing and recalling information and experiences. There are different types of memory including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Memory is essential for learning, survival, and identity. Without memory we would not be able to function or know who we are. While memory allows us to recall past experiences, it is not perfect and can be influenced by factors like interference and forgetting over time. Effective memorization techniques include spacing out study sessions, finding meaning in materials, using imagery and mnemonic devices, and exercising the mind and body regularly.
Memory11.pptx
This document discusses different types and classifications of memory. It describes:
1. Memory can be classified based on content (long-term vs short-term), or duration (sensory, short-term, recent, long-term).
2. Long-term memory includes declarative (explicit) and procedural (implicit) memory. Declarative memory includes episodic and semantic memory.
3. The hippocampus is involved in forming new memories by converting short-term to long-term memories. Multiple brain regions are activated during memory encoding and recall.

Chapter 6
This document provides an overview of key topics in human memory, including:
1) It describes the structure of human memory, including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
2) It discusses factors that influence memory reliability, such as the reconstructive nature of memory and conditions that reduce eyewitness reliability.
3) It explains the role of biology in memory, including the role of the hippocampus and processes like long-term potentiation in memory formation and storage.
ap memory
The document provides information about human memory, including its three main processes (encoding, storage, and retrieval) and common models used to describe it. It discusses how information is encoded, including what is encoded automatically versus through effort. Effortful encoding techniques like elaboration and distributed practice are emphasized. The capacity and duration of sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory are reviewed. The document also examines how memories are stored biologically in the brain and some disorders that can impact memory storage and retrieval.
Thesis 4.1
The document presents the hypothesis that external digital memory created by social media and other technologies may have negative consequences for personal and professional advancement. It discusses how digitization has revolutionized external memory by making all copies indistinguishable from originals and enabling easy global access. This has contributed to forgetting becoming the exception, as digital information is easily stored, retrieved, and accessed indefinitely. The challenges of the demise of forgetting include issues around power, accessibility, durability, comprehensiveness, and time.
Ch. 6 memory
The document summarizes key aspects of memory, including the three main processes (encoding, storage, retrieval), different memory types (sensory, short-term, long-term), models of memory (information processing, levels of processing), how memories are formed and stored in the brain, and factors that affect forgetting. It also outlines different memory codes, memory capacities and durations, retrieval methods, and the biological basis of memory in brain structures and neurochemistry.
Classmate post 11. How memories formed at the following levels
Classmate post 1:
1. How memories formed at the following levels?
· Molecular: What is long-term potentiation (LTP)?
Long term potentiation is strengthened synaptic connections through frequent activation. LTP is associated with changes in gene transcription in the neurons and is important for increased responsiveness of long lasting LTP. LTP also increases the strength of synapses by making them more sensitive to glutamate and increased activation in the future.
· Cellular: How is the hippocampus important for memory?
The hippocampus is important for memory due to its role in the overall in processing new declarative information and consolidation. Declarative memory looks like what a person knows and can tell others. This falls into two categories of semantic memory and episodic memory. This region of the brain is the important in controlling emotions, motivation and memory through the information that is processed. The hippocampus uses spatial maps and neurons to increase its ability to determine if information will be encoded, consolidated, and then retrieved for future use. Without the hippocampi in one’s brain, there is no longer a memory processing center, and no new information can enter the brain for processing and future storing. Without this region of the brain, memory does not exist.
· System: How widely are memories distributed in the brain?
Memories are stored somewhat widely, but different types of memories are stored in different places. Long term declarative memory is distributed throughout the medial temporal lobe, hippocampus, and amygdala. This includes semantic memory that deals with storage in the cortex, right frontal lobe, and temporal regions. Semantic memory is also stored in the cortex but especially in the temporal lobes. Long term nondeclarative memory is not dependent on the medial temporal lobes in the same way that declarative memory is. Skill learning and motor coordination memory, such as performing a task or remembering how to perform a task are distributed in the basal ganglia, motor cortex and cerebellum. Conditioning memory, like my body remembering that I am hungry at noon, is distributed to the cerebellum, hippocampus and cortex.
2. How would you distinguish amnesia from normal forgetting? When would you call an absent-minded person amnesic?
I would be able to distinguish amnesia from normal forgetting by looking at the degree of damage or clutter of information that needs to be recalled. A person with amnesia has had damage to their hippocampus and would have no memory or at least partial lack of memory either from the point of injury forward or from an amount of time before the injury and forward. A forgetful person may be suffering from too many things to remember, or they were not paying attention to the information that was given to them. Disruption to the memory process will complicate the encoding and consolidation processes.

Mehreen
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including what it is, stages of the disease, causes and risk factors, diagnosis methods, current treatments, impact on caregivers, and ongoing research efforts. Some key points include:
- Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and thinking skills. It involves the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
- Risk factors include age, family history, and lifestyle factors like diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and mental/social activity levels.
- Diagnosis involves medical history, exams, tests and brain imaging to evaluate symptoms and rule out other conditions.
- Current treatments can temporarily improve symptoms but do not stop
Mehreen
- Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. It is now considered a major public health problem affecting millions of older Americans.
- The disease is characterized by the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, which disrupt communication between neurons. It typically progresses from mild memory loss to severe brain damage over a period of years.
- While the causes are not fully known, risk factors include genetics, age, and lifestyle. Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions through medical exams, tests, and brain imaging. Currently available treatments can only temporarily slow symptoms but not stop or reverse the disease process.
Why Use Open Educational Resources
This document discusses arguments for considering education a basic human right and the benefits of open educational resources (OER). It notes that education should be a public right, not an economic privilege, and that societies function better when members are educated. While the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee education as a right, international laws like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights do. OER promote equal access to education globally by leveling barriers. However, challenges to OER include ensuring quality open content and equal access to content given limited Internet access worldwide.
Live seminar 4 – cmst 275
This document summarizes a seminar on framing and tagging memories. It discusses how framing can be used to understand motivations and ideologies. Examples are provided of different tags assigned to memories and how these reveal themes like family or spirituality as dominant frames of reference. Students are prompted to ask critical questions about the data, such as how tags are defined and how themes might interconnect. Backing up claims with evidence from the data is also emphasized. The document concludes by offering examples of how to properly cite tagged memories.

Hu300 unit 4 annuncements
The document provides an overview of the history of music from ancient to modern times. It describes key musical styles, genres, and influential composers from different eras including Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and the 20th-21st centuries. It discusses the emergence and evolution of styles such as folk, ragtime, jazz, rock, pop, and hip-hop music over time and their influences on one another.
Chapter 13 Mass Media And Ethics
The document discusses various ethical philosophies and challenges related to mass media, including:
1) Historical newspapers in the US were highly partisan based on political views; modern newspapers included more common people stories but also trivial gossip.
2) Propaganda during WWI raised issues for public relations, while some argued media should provide the best hearing for clients' messages.
3) Ethical standards of accuracy, objectivity, and avoiding conflicts of interest are important but not always followed due to commercial and ownership influences.
Comparison And Contrast Essay
This document provides guidance on writing a comparison and contrast essay. It discusses using analogies to compare dissimilar things and making lists to outline similarities and differences between topics. Examples of potential comparison/contrast essay topics are given, such as comparing the same product from different stores or comparing friendships with different genders. Guiding questions are also provided to help select topics and focus the essay, such as considering the audience and determining whether similarities or differences are more important.
Cause And Effect Essays
Cause and effect essays examine the relationship between causes and effects by focusing on why or how something occurred. There are four types of causes: necessary, sufficient, contributing, and remote. A strong cause and effect argument establishes a balanced relationship between the cause and effect and avoids logical fallacies like post hoc reasoning. The movie Charlie's War presents a cause-and-effect chain that links a remote cause in 1979 to the ultimate effect of 9/11 through a series of intermediate steps.
The Three Transition Types
This document discusses different types of transitions that can be used when writing, including transitions between sentences, paragraphs, and topics. Transitions help link ideas and guide the reader from one subject to another. Example transitions include words like "although," "furthermore," and "in addition." The document provides lists of common transition words that can be used for purposes like comparison, time, location, and emphasis. It also gives examples of integrating effective transitions between sentences and paragraphs to improve coherence and flow.
The Perfect Support Paragraph!
The document outlines the formula for writing a strong support paragraph, including having a topic sentence that reflects the overall thesis, providing important background information and proof, anticipating and addressing potential critics or doubts, and concluding with a summary and transition. For example, a support paragraph about the food and prices at a college bakery would have a topic sentence about the low prices due to students running it, back this up by discussing the successful baking program, address critics who say unpaid labor is unfair by noting the value of apprenticeships, and transition to the next topic with a summary of the bakery's success and low cost high quality variety of goods.
The Process And Definition Essay
The document provides information on different types of process and definition essays. It discusses the key elements of each type of essay such as introductions that frame the essay, supporting paragraphs that take the reader through the process step-by-step, and conclusions that summarize or comment on significance. It also defines formal, restrictive, and extended definitions and provides examples to illustrate each type.
The Descriptive Essay
The document provides instructions for writing a descriptive essay, using examples from Brian Williams' description of Hurricane Katrina and a video description of the Good Shepherd Magdalen Laundry in Cork, Ireland. It outlines selecting vivid details that engage the senses to set a mood, logically ordering those details, and using figurative language to show rather than just tell information.
The Thesis Statement And You
This document provides guidance on writing effective thesis statements. It explains that thesis statements present a clear claim and the grounds or reasons supporting that claim. A good thesis statement takes a debatable position, can be adequately supported within the scope of the assignment, and indicates how the claim will be proven. The document offers examples of strong thesis statements that state a specific claim and the reasons for it, as well as examples of weak thesis statements that are too general or simply restate the topic rather than taking a position. Words to avoid in thesis statements are also highlighted.

The document emphasizes that all sources must be properly cited regardless of where the information comes from.
Non Consequential Reasoning
Nonconsequential reasoning approaches ethics through defined rules and duties rather than considering consequences of actions. There are several types of nonconsequential reasoning:
1) Act-based reasoning focuses on individual acts and situations, claiming there are no general rules and people act on intuition. However, this lacks critical thinking and different intuitions could harm others.
2) Rule-based reasoning believes in set behavioral rules that ensure morality if followed, such as divine ethics which base actions on religious doctrine, and duty ethics like Kant's which focus on universal logical rules.
3) Divine and duty ethics provide frameworks for moral rules but absolute rules ignore contingencies and different rules can conflict, making universal application challenging. Overall, non
