  Memory is ourbrain’s ability to store, retain & recall information and experiences. Memory has 3 processes Sensory Memory Short-Term Long-Term

  Our Brain’s have5 types of Memory Episodic- comprised of reconstruction of past experiences, including sensations, emotions. They usually unfold like movies and are experiences by one’s point of view Semantic- is non-personal, factual knowledge that stands alone Working Memory- the capacity to hold information long enough to use it Procedural “body ” – comprised from learning actions like: walking, swimming, riding a bike Implicit – we don’t know that we have it, they affect our actions in subtle ways like; you may dislike a new person because they remind you of someone else .

  Sensory Memory The ability to look at an item for a second and then remember what it looked like. It is processed approximately 200-500 milliseconds after an item is perceived.
• 5.
  Short-Term Memory Iswhere memory is recalled without practicing, something that happened recently. Short-Term Memory is dependent on the regions of the Frontal & Parietal Lobes It is believed to rely mostly on an acoustic code for storing information.

  Long-Term Memory Isthe ability to store more information for long periods of time (life times) like phone numbers, names and address’ from when we were kids

  How Accurate isMemory Most people think that a memory is like a nonfiction book or movie. Scientists have found that human memory changes constantly. Memories lose detail & become distorted as time passes. They are shaped and reshaped by people’s beliefs, expectations and views of themselves. People modify their memories to include newly learned information-even if the facts are wrong. Painful memories lost and found, are harder to find the truth especially when it comes to victims of child abuse. Between 8 and 38% of women in surveys thought they had suffered some kind of sexual abuse as a child. So Memories are distributed throughout our brains so if one part of an experience is lost, another part of it remains, example: If a memory of someone's name is lost, the memory of their face is not.

  Memory Videos PTDSDisorder: This video talks about how Dr. Alan Brunet gave a woman with PTSD a pill to be able to surface a deeply imbedded traumatic memory, to be able to tone down the emotions connected to that memory. It also shows how and where traumatic memories are stored. http://digital.films. com/PortalPlaylists . aspx ?aid=6345&xtid=39692&loid=59039 Films on Demand, SPSCC Library Web-Site: Username:south Password:puget (check remember me) How does your memory work?

  F.Y.I Only experiencesgiving rise to unusually prolonged and/or intense neural activity become encoded as memories. The Hippocampus encodes new memories & helps recall others PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition where people have vivid memories (flashbacks) of traumatic experiences. Emotionally traumatic experiences are more likely remembered because emotion amplifies experience.

  It is saidthat, Memory does not comprise a single unitary system, but rather an array of interacting systems, each capable of encoding or registering information, storing it and making it available by retrieval. Without this capability for information storage, we could not perceive adequately, learn from the past, understand the present, or plan for the future. In the case of the psychological study of memory, there is considerable agreement that it can broadly be divided into: sensory memory, short-term or working memory, and long-term memory.

  Ebsco Peer ReviewedArticle The article discusses episodic memory, which grows worse during normal aging of adult people. It says that episodic memory enables a person to execute daily intellectual and social activities as well as recalling series of events that happened. It states that one of the major worries of adult people is the fear of Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, it mentions that the hippocampus plays an important role in long-term memory. http://web. ebscohost . com/ehost/detail ?hid=119&sid=249fd808-bd76-4705-9c372df0c076b2ce%40sessionmgr113&vid=4&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=a9h&AN=54572745
