Finding Dory Research Paper

517 Words3 Pages

I was watching the movie Finding Dory and in the movie there’s a fish named Dory and she suffers from short term memory loss. She forgets things very quickly and it’s mostly the recent experiences. If she does something recent she will forget it, but if it is something that happened years ago she can remember those things more frequently. In the movie, she tries to remember her parents after she finds out she left them by accident. So therefore I decided to choose my essay over short term memory loss.
The book defines the true definition of short term memory loss as “Short term memory loss is an impaired ability to form new episodic memories.” Which, the simplified version of that definition is he or she can remember incidents from 20 years ago but is fuzzy on the details of things that happened 20 minutes prior. Short term memory usually codes information according to sound. There are …show more content…

Scientists say that the short term memory is located in the prefrontal cortex, it is the site that is activated when we are using our working memories. So exactly what kind of work goes on in this area? One important process is the application of memory strategies. Some people wonder how do doctors actually test for short term memory loss is that they medical history test and then ask a few questions to the patient. Some exams include cognitive testing to check the patient’s mental status and his or her ability to think. The doctor could also run blood tests to check for various conditions. You can even improve your short term memory. Scientists say to improve it is by using “mnemonics” which is the technique of attaching a word, phrase or even an image. Examples of one of the tests are remembering how many days are in a month, or remember things like the name of a person. Doing activities with your brain such as playing Sudoku or finishing crossword puzzles can help improve you

    It provides the opportunity for prompt evaluation of the patient and possibly administer tests and treatments for reversing and determining the causes of memory loss. In addition, early diagnosis provides time for patients and families to prepare for the future and most importantly it maximizes the patients opportunity to contribute to their own care planning process. As previously stated, the diagnosis of dementia most commonly takes place in the primary care setting. During primary care visits with older or elderly people the interactions tend to be brief and patients often present multiple health conditions that they are experiencing. It can be challenging for the physician to pin point those intersecting health concerns with Alzheimer’s if they are not properly trained to do so.

    After reading an article by Endel Tulving, he talks about memory retrieval with regards to the human brain. He states in his thesis "The purpose of the present article is to question the traditional view that remembering the past and knowing things learned in the past represent similar cognitive processes" (Tulving, 1989). He continues by saying "I would suggest that remembering and knowing, as these terms are used here, are more appropriately conceptualized as operations of two hypothetical memory systems, episodic and semantic memory, and that in that sense they are not only similar, as all memory systems must be, but also basically different" (Tulving, 1989). In Tulving's first piece of evidence to support the above thesis he uses an example of a case study.

  • Multistore Model Of Memory Analysis

    1358 Words  | 6 Pages

    How reliable are the two models or theories of the cognitive process of memory, “|…|the process of maintaining information over time” (Matlin, 2005) , known as the multistore model (MSM) and the levels of processing model (LOP)? Both of these models have been widely criticized, but simultaneously they have improved our knowledge and understanding of how the process of memory works. In this essay both of these models of memory will be evaluated by presenting the strengths and limitations of each. The first model, the multistore model, was put forward by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) which suggests that the concept of memory involves three stores; the sensory stores, the short-term store (STS), and the long-term store (LTS).

  • Information Processing Theory: A Case Study

    If information stored in the short-term memory is not learned and given attention, it will decay over time (Schunk 2012, p. 183). The short-term memory has a small capacity, and large amounts of information cannot all be stored (Schunk 2012, p. 183). To make it esier, information can be shortened or broken up to fit it in the short-term memory (Schunk 2012, p. 183). Information that is used will be transferred into the long-term store/ long-term memory (Schunk 2012, p. 183). There are different strategies to strengthen the memory of information from short-term to long-term.

    Patient N.B. underwent surgery removing areas of her left anterior temporal-lobe to cure epilepsy, sparing the hippocampus, but removing a large area of her perirhinal cortex (Bowles et al, 2007). Her recollection and familiarity were tested using the remember-know procedure, being presented with a word list and asked to state if she recognised the words and if this was based on specific details or familiarity. Her recollection score was higher than average, whereas her familiarity score was lower than average. The remember-know procedure has been criticised for its reliance on an individual report of recollection and familiarity, resulting in variability (Strack & Forster, 1995). Due to this, NB's receiver operating characteristics (ROC) were tested, relying on confidence ratings of old or new items based on recollection and familiarity by stating that they are two individual processes.
