Of all the different topics we've covered this semester in class, the one that will stick with me the most is the memory topic. I thought it was interesting to learn about how the memory works and the different types memory there are. I think part of the reason it was so intriguing to me was the fact that we experience everything from that chapter every day, but you don't think about how it works until it is explained. For example, when they talked about Flashbulb memories, I'm sure everyone has experienced them but may not have realized it existed as an actual phenomenon in psychology. In addition, My grandpa has Alzheimer, so it's always interesting to me to learn more about what may be causing his disease and how it affects his brain. On a related note, I also enjoyed learning about other memory-related illnesses, such as retrograde and retrograde amnesia.
In light of the recent meme craze, I thought this would be a good one to include as it illustrates false-memory, which I'm guessing most people also have experienced at one point or another.
I agree. I do know people who also has Alzheimer. It is important to learn knowledge about memory.
I definitely will never forget about this topic as we learned in this course.
Alzheimer is a serious disease that older people are very vulnerable if they do not take precautions. thankfully i dont know anyone with it in my family and i hope it remains like that.
I agree with you in that memory is an important topic that we went over specially when it comes to flash bulb memories. It's surprising to see how inaccurate our memories can be on events we describe as unforgettable, makes you wonder how much of what we remember is actually true.
I agree with this. I think that memory is a very interesting topic. It is weird that we deal with memory every day, but don't think about how it actually works. It is interesting to learn how it all works and the different kinds of memory. It is also interesting to learn about the different diseases related to memory.
I found it really strange how easy memories can be made up. All one needs is a simple suggestion and they can create whole memories from nothing.
