Journal Prompt 1/8/2014
Learning Objective3.3 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?
Self-defining memory1. 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).

Modifications to the Three-Stage Model
1. Some information skips the first two stages and enters long-term memory automatically.
2. 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.
“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 paragraphsCan be typed. Cite sources. All original work, please. Counts as: 33% of journal for Chapter 8.
