  • Amnesia Research
    SHORT SYNOPSIS After a global neurological epidemic, those who remain search for meaning and connection in a world without memory. Five interwoven stories explore how we might learn, love and communicate in a future that has no past. LOVE Two lovers struggle to stay together, afraid that if separated, they will forget each other1 forever. FAMILY A boy loses his guardian and searches for a new home 2beyond the limits of the city. MORALITY A violent young man takes what he 3needs to survive, no matter the cost. LEARNING A professor researching a cure makes a connection that is not what he expected.4 FREEDOM A girl living with her father in an underground bunker safe from the virus must decide whether to risk infection to regain her freedom. The world as we know it has been forgotten. A decade after a global epidemic, those who remain suffer from lasting effects of the virus - retrograde and anterograde amnesia. The survivors navigate a decaying landscape, unable to recall the past or create new memories. Each 5 finds their own way to cope with life in a perpetual present, where meaning must be experienced moment by moment. By looking at a vision of the world without memory, Embers considers if our humanity is one thing that is impossible to forget. Memory is uniquely imperfect, “ and profoundly personal. My memories are precious to me. I love how memories are formed and reformed in a way that is so specific to each of our minds, like a fingerprint constantly being redrawn. Strung together, memories allow us to tell a story of who we are - to ourselves and to others.

    Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion, and Memory Lecture One – Mapping Memory in the Brain Eric R. Kandel, M.D. 1. Start of Lecture I (0:15) [ANNOUNCER:] From the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science. This year's lectures, "Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion, and Memory," will be given by Dr. Eric Kandel, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Columbia University, and Dr. Thomas Jessell, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator also at Columbia University. The first lecture is titled "Mapping Memory in the Brain." And now to introduce our program, the President of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dr. Thomas Cech. 2. Welcome by HHMI President Dr. Thomas Cech (1:08) [DR. CECH] Welcome to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science. The Institute initiated this series in 1993. In 1995 I had the pleasure of coming here and delivering the lectures on catalytic RNA, and since I've been President of the Institute it's been a great pleasure to be involved in choosing 18 terrific scientists to talk to students here in the auditorium. The Holiday Lectures are one of more than 30 research and education programs of the Institute and please visit our website www.hhmi.org to learn more about all of our activities. This lecture series focuses on the most complex organ in our body and arguably the one that most is responsible for making us human. Clearly without this organ you wouldn't be able to find this auditorium, and even if you got here you wouldn't understand a word that was being said.

  • Forget-Me-Notes
    Forget-Me-Notes by Kevin DiFazio The mind is a beautiful and awesome place. At any given moment there is a symphony of electrical impulses and chemical particles swirling around inside of every person in the world, unseen. The impulses shoot through the brain cells to the optic nerves, which in turn move the eye. The eye receives the information of what you are reading on this page, sends it back into the thalamus and into the visual cortex on the frontal lobe, where the information is interpreted and you are finally able to understand what you are reading; all of this in the span of less than a second. So why, when our brains possess this seemingly infinite computing capability and unbelievable potential, can it fail so catastrophically? Why can our brains function perfectly one day and on the next, we aren't able to recognize the faces of our children or our parents? Our cognitive faculties can leave us for a number of reasons, from brain damage in an accident to Alzheimer's and dementia. Memory loss, an unfortunate side effect of many of these situations, can leave patients lost and confused. For instance, patients who suffer from dementia, an unfortunate condition that is often associated with memory loss, usually start developing symptoms by the time they are 65 years old and sometimes earlier (“What is Dementia”). However, there is a treatment that, when administered preemptively, can reduce the potential effects of memory loss: learning to play an instrument. Clive Wearing, a British musicologist, suffers from anterograde and retrograde amnesia.

  • Magic of Memory May 2008 Issue
    Teacher’s Guide to Odyssey: Magic of Memory May 2008 issue Teacher Guide prepared by Lisa Greenberg. Lisa taught in international schools in Japan, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia. Her coffee table book SAUDI ARABIA, photographs by Mohammed Babelli and text by Lisa was published in May, 2007, and her children’s story “Flying Like a Djinn” was in Cricket, September 2007. Lisa is currently working on a book on the Rub al Khali, a vast desert in the Arabian Peninsula. Getting Ready: Set up 1/ a bulletin board with the title “Memory Moments”; 2/ a free reading and exploration table with a model of a brain, some memoirs written for children, and some books on memory tricks and study strategies. Review and discuss the cover of the magazine and the editor’s note on page 2: What does the picture on the cover say to the students? Which article titles interest them? What do they know about memory already? You may want to ask more specific questions, such as, what is your first memory? How do you learn best? What makes your favorite memory stand out? Have you ever tried to get rid of a bad memory and how did you do it? When is memory particularly useful? Do specific memories ever cause you problems? Do you always forget the same things or kinds of things? Memory Erasers, p. 5 Small group discussion: have groups of four to five students read and discuss this short article. Then have each answer the questions at the end of the article and share their responses with the class.

    Chapter 5 distribute Memory Structuresor and Processes post, Questions to Consider •• Is memory a process, a structure, or a system? •• How many types of memoriescopy, are there? •• Are there differences in the ways we store and retrieve memories based on how old the memories are?not •• What kind of memory helps us focus on a task? •• How Dodoes our memory influence us unintentionally? •• What are the limits of our memory? 105 Copyright ©2019 by SAGE Publications, Inc. This work may not be reproduced or distributed in any form or by any means without express written permission of the publisher. 106 Cognitive Psychology Introduction: The Pervasiveness of Memory Memory is pervasive. It is important for so many things we do in our everyday lives that it is difficult to think of something humans do that doesn’t involve memory. To better understand its importance, imagine trying to do your everyday tasks without memory. When you first wake up in the morning you know whether you need to jump out of bed and hurry to get ready to leave or whether you can lounge in bed for a while because you remember what you have to do that day and what time your first task of the day begins. Without memory, you would not know what you needed to do that day. In fact, you would not know who you are, where you are, or what you are supposed to be doing at any given moment. It would be like waking up disoriented every minute. There are, in fact, individuals who must live their lives without the aid of these kinds of memories.

  • Savoir Et Savoir-Faire La Connaissance Pratique Entre Intellectualisme Et Anti-Intellectualisme
    Université de Montréal Savoir et savoir-faire La connaissance pratique entre intellectualisme et anti-intellectualisme par Vincent Duhamel Département de Philosophie Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l’obtention du grade de Ph.D en philosophie Août 2016 © Vincent Duhamel, 2016 Résumé L’objectif de cette thèse est de présenter une conception du savoir-faire qui permette d’éviter les principales difficultés auxquelles font face les deux grandes familles de théories dans le débat sur la nature du savoir-faire – l’intellectualisme et l’anti-intellectualisme. Pour les intellectualistes, le savoir-faire doit généralement être conçu comme une forme de connaissance propositionnelle, c’est-à-dire une connaissance des faits. À l’opposé, pour les anti-intellectualistes, le savoir-faire doit généralement être conçu comme une forme de capacité ou de disposition. Dans ce texte, j’analyse en détail les implications propres à ces diverses manières de concevoir le savoir-faire et j’identifie les problèmes importants auxquels elles font face. Par exemple, contre l’intellectualisme, on peut douter qu’il suffise de connaître un certain nombre de faits à propos de la natation pour savoir nager. À l’opposé, contre, l’anti- intellectualisme, on peut demander s’il faut absolument être capable de nager pour savoir nager. Afin d’éviter les problèmes propres à ces deux théories, je défends une conception hybride qui présente le savoir-faire au sens restreint et la connaissance pratique au sens large comme des formes de savoir qui doivent s’établir sur une connaissance minimale des faits, mais qui sont irréductibles à cette connaissance des faits et qui peuvent s’accroître sans l’apprentissage de nouveaux faits.

The pounding of the cylinders increased: ta-pocketa- pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa. The Commander stared at the ice forming on the pilot window.
