  6. Journal Prompt 1/8/2014 Learning Objective 3.3 Discuss the factors influencing how memories are retrieved. Journal prompt: Write about a self-defining memory you have. • What are your emotions about this memory? • Is this memory about a relationship? • Is this memory about an enduring theme or unresolved conflict in your life?

  7. Self-defining memory 1. It is at least one year old. 2. It is a memory from your life that you remembered very clearly and that still feels important to you even as you think about it. 3. It is a memory about an important enduring theme, issue, or conflict from your life. It is a memory that helps explain who you are as an individual and might be the memory you would tell someone else if you wanted that person to understand you in a profound way. 4. It is a memory linked to other similar memories that share the same theme or concern. 5. It may be a memory that is positive or negative, or both, in how it makes you feel. The only important aspect is that it leads to strong feelings. 6. It is a memory that you have thought about many times. It should be familiar to you like a picture you have studied or a song (happy or sad) you have learned by heart. 7. How many years ago did this happen? (number of years ago, not your age at the time).

  8. Self-defining memory, part 2 • Use the rating scale 0= zero to 6= most to rate the emotions you feel on recalling this memory. 1. _____ Happy 2. _____ Sad 3. _____ Angry 4. _____ Fearful 5. _____ Surprised 6. _____ Ashamed 7. _____ Disgusted 8. _____ Guilty 9. _____ Interested 10. _____ Embarrassed 11. _____ Contemptful 12. _____ Proud

  9. Studying Memory: Information Processing Models Monitor (Retrieval) Disk (Storage) Keyboard (Encoding) Sequential Process

  10. Information Processing The Atkinson-Schiffrin (1968) three-stage model of memory includes a) sensory memory,b) short-term memory, and c) long-term memory. Frank Wartenberg/ Picture Press/ Corbis Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works

  11. Modifications to the Three-Stage Model • Some information skips the first two stages and enters long-term memory automatically. • Since we cannot focus on all the sensory information received, we select information that is important to us and actively process it into our working memory. A newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory.

  12. “Understanding the Mysteries of Memory” Discovery Learning (1996) • implicit and explicit memory • savant syndrome • traumatic memory • short term memory loss • long term memory loss • flashbacks • “flashbulb memories" • mistaken identification • suggested memories • trauma induced amnesia • Alzheimer’s disease This is a program about memory failures using real case studies. Also, you may watch the alternative video for case studies. Assignment: • Write an extended journal entry about one of the conditions discussed in the film. • Use the individual’s name and describe specific situations of memory failure. • Use your text to supplement your understanding of memory loss. • Conclude with your personal reaction to the case study. Length:3 well-written paragraphs Can be typed. Cite sources. All original work, please. Counts as: 33% of journal for Chapter 8. Memory alternative video
