  • The Integrated Nature of Metamemory and Memory
    The Integrated Nature of Metamemory and Memory John Dunlosky and Robert A. Bjork Introduction Memory has been of interest to scholars and laypeople alike for over 2,000 years. In a rather gruesome example from antiquity, Cicero tells the story of Simonides (557– 468 BC), who discovered the method of loci, which is a powerful mental mnemonic for enhancing one’s memory. Simonides was at a banquet of a nobleman, Scopas. To honor him, Simonides sang a poem, but to Scopas’s chagrin, the poem also honored two young men, Castor and Pollux. Being upset, Scopas told Simonides that he was to receive only half his wage. Simonides was later called from the banquet, and legend has it that the banquet room collapsed, and all those inside were crushed. To help bereaved families identify the victims, Simonides reportedly was able to name every- one according to the place where they sat at the table, which gave him the idea that order brings strength to our memories and that to employ this ability people “should choose localities, then form mental images of things they wanted to store in their memory, and place these in the localities” (Cicero, 2001). Tis example highlights an early discovery that has had important applied impli- cations for improving the functioning of memory (see, e.g., Yates, 1997). Memory theory was soon to follow. Aristotle (385–322 BC) claimed that memory arises from three processes: Events are associated (1) through their relative similarity or (2) rela- tive dissimilarity and (3) when they co-occur together in space and time.

  • Investigating the Roles of Memory and Metamemory in Trauma-Related Outcomes
    ABSTRACT A PTSD ANALOGUE STUDY: INVESTIGATING THE ROLES OF MEMORY AND METAMEMORY IN TRAUMA-RELATED OUTCOMES Ban Hong (Phylice) Lim, Ph.D. Department of Psychology Northern Illinois University, 2016 Michelle M. Lilly, Director Trauma survivors who develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often display symptoms of memory fragmentation such as an impaired ability to recall trauma memories. These observations are consistent with prominent theories of PTSD, which consider memory fragmentation as a central feature of PTSD. Correspondingly, most empirically supported interventions for PTSD focus on addressing dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors and integrating fragmented memories of the event. More recently, this assumption has been challenged by research indicating that metamemory – one’s subjective beliefs about one’s memory functioning and quality – may partially account for reported memory fragmentation among individuals with PTSD. Memory underconfidence, regardless of whether or not it is founded or wholly accurate, may lead to feelings of anxiety, especially in the process of recalling and making sense of one’s trauma memory. Despite the intertwined nature of their relationship, the association between memory and metamemory has been understudied in the trauma literature. This dissertation investigated whether PTSD is a disorder of memory fragmentation, perceived memory fragmentation, or both by examining the association between memory and metamemory. A trauma analogue between-subjects experimental design was employed. Eighty- four healthy participants were randomly assigned to receive either positive feedback or negative feedback after completing a standardized memory assessment. Despite the use of randomization, the manipulation groups systematically differed on both baseline memory ability and baseline memory confidence. Contrary to the first hypothesis, after controlling for the effect of baseline metamemory beliefs, the groups did not differ on their recall task performance, F(1,80) = .34, p = .56.

  • 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.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:54 14 August 2016 Classic Case Studies in Psychology The human mind is both extraordinary and compelling. But this is more than a collection of case studies; it is a selection of stories that illustrate some of the most extreme forms of human behaviour. From the leader who convinced his followers to kill themselves to the man who lost his memory; from the boy who was brought up as a girl to the woman with several personalities, Geoff Rolls illustrates some of the most fundamental tenets of psychology. Each case study has provided invaluable insights for scholars and researchers, and amazed the public at large. Several have been the inspiration for works of fiction, for example the story of Kim Peek, the real Rain Man. This new edition features three new case studies, including the story of Charles Decker who was tried for the attempted murder of two people but acquitted on the basis of a neurological condition, and Dorothy Martin, whose persisting belief in an impending alien invasion is an illuminating example of cognitive dissonance. In addition, each case study is contextualized with more typical behaviour, while the latest thinking in each sub-field is also discussed. Classic Case Studies in Psychology is accessibly written and requires no prior knowledge of psychology, but simply an interest in the human condition. It is a book that will amaze, sometimes disturb, but above all enlighten its readers. Downloaded by [New York University] at 06:54 14 August 2016 Geoff Rolls is Head of Psychology at Peter Symonds College in Winchester and formerly a Research Fellow at Southampton University, UK.

On the one hand, copyright acts as a recognizing authority for claims to authorship and originality, thus providing economic incentives to authors whose work is “original,” which in turn encourages cultural innovation. On the other hand, copyright facilitates ownership and control of cultural works by institutions rather than by authors, since its minimal notion of “originality” and extended period of protection encourage the production

  • The Digital Expansion of the Mind: Implications of Internet Usage For
    Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition 8 (2019) 1–14 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition journa l homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jarmac The Digital Expansion of the Mind: Implications of Internet Usage for Memory and Cognition a,∗ b Elizabeth J. Marsh , Suparna Rajaram a Duke University, United States b Stony Brook University, United States The internet is rapidly changing what information is available as well as how we find it and share it with others. Here we examine how this “digital expansion of the mind” changes cognition. We begin by identifying ten properties of the internet that likely affect cognition, roughly organized around internet content (e.g., the sheer amount of information available), internet usage (e.g., the requirement to search for information), and the people and communities who create and propagate content (e.g., people are connected in an unprecedented fashion). We use these properties to explain (or ask questions about) internet-related phenomena, such as habitual reliance on the internet, the propagation of misinformation, and consequences for autobiographical memory, among others. Our goal is to consider the impact of internet usage on many aspects of cognition, as people increasingly rely on the internet to seek, post, and share information. Keywords: Memory, Cognition, Internet, External memory, Metacognition, Social memory General Audience Summary The internet is rapidly changing what information is available to us as well as how we find that information and share it with others. Here we ask how this “digital expansion of the mind” may change cognition.

Emphasis will be placed on attention, pattern-recognition, memory, problem solving and other cognitive processes.” There will be several methods of instruction used in this course, including textbook, listening to lectures, participating in class discussions, and participating in laboratory experiments. I have intentionally attempted to keep the amount of readings to a minimum for this course. For those pursuing careers as cognitive psychologists, you will receive more in-depth information in specialized classes and seminars (e.g., perception, biopsychology, learning and memory). I hope to provide you with the foundational principles in cognitive psychology so that you may put the more contemporary findings in perspective. Course Objectives: Understand the scientific approach to the study of thinking, learning, and behavior. Understand the abilities and limitations in how organisms acquire information from their environments and bodies (i.e., the information processing perspective).

  • Know It Wall
    11/04/2016 Know it Wall Know it Wall Flavia S. Belham Flavia is a Brazilian biologist working on memory and ageing at the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. When not busy with her research, she likes to get involved in the organization of science events and festivals in different cities. No less important, she has a love for monkeys, travelling and chocolate desserts. I can’t ride a bike. For some reason I’ve never tried to learn it. But people kept telling me: ‘You should learn! It’s very easy, and once you learn how to ride a bike, you’ll never forget.’ Once you learn how to ride a bike, you’ll never forget. Now you’ve probably heard this before and, in fact, you might have even said it yourself! But how then, at the same time, do we keep forgetting where we leave our keys? Our understanding of human memory was revolutionized in the 1950s, when neurosurgeon William Scoville operated on Henry Molaison’s brain. Henry used to suffer from severe epileptic seizures, until Scoville removed the left and right portions of his hippocampus, a structure in the shape of a seahorse towards the medial temporal lobe of the brain. Hippocampus functions weren’t fully understood at the time, but the surgery was successful in its primary goal: Henry’s seizures were greatly reduced. But so was his memory! After the surgery, Henry developed an anterograde amnesia, which meant that, until he passed away in 2008, he couldn’t create new memories. He couldn’t retain a new face, name, address, or remember having done a certain activity.
