Joshua Foer Memory
In this tedTalk with Joshua Foer, he was going over the importance of memory and how it makes you who you are. He was telling us about the memory experts and how much they can memorize in a short amount of time, comparing it to Ep who has possible the worst memory. I like how he started the speech because it just sounded silly and made no sense. The way he ended it actually helped me a lot, the way he brought it together to put crazy images in your mind that you will remember, to remember things is going to be very helpful for me. Associate things with each other, make it almost extreme so you really won't forget. He was speaking about how the memory experts went through tests for scientists to see if their brains were different. They were

    The first video, aptly named "Amazing Discoveries," discusses the complexities of memory formation in the human brain, and how it can be difficult for us to remember certain factors or situations regardless of how important they may be. It highlights that while certain types of memories, such as procedural, emotional, and spatial memories, are often strong and reliable, memories related to school-based learning may not be as well encoded. For example, a child may remember what video game they played with their friends before going to bed, but may not remember the chemical formula for Benzene. The speaker says factors such as misattribution, misattention, suggestion, erosion, and limited attentional capacity can impact the memorization and understanding…

    The study of memory dates back as far as the time of Ancient Greece, however, the birth of the study of memory is often credited to Ebbinghaus, who concentrated his research on memory store and capacity. The study of memory has had a long history, and still there are many myths associated with memory processes and the overall potential of memory. This paper will address one of the misconceptions which assumes that memory is a continuous tape of personal history. It will be shown that this is merely a false belief and that the act of remembering is not as simply as replaying a tape, rather memory is malleable and may be altered by a number of occurrences (Offer, 2000).…

    However, many flaws would surface without the examination of what constitutes as memory? Weirob brings up the comparison of real and apparent memory due to the possibility of deception where a person may “seems to remember” (323) something entirely inaccurate. Real memory is then defined as an experience remembered by the person who was present at the time of that experience(324). Apparent…

    This video changed the way I views memory, because I realized how important your memory is, without a memory you don’t feel that you exists. You would live in the moment without ever being able to recall or have recognition or able to learn or remember the past or being able to have a memory of you present or future. You would live in the present,…
