Chapter Overview
The Ubiquitous Selfie, Memory, and Meaning
It is estimated that over one million selfies are taken each day (Bennett, 2014).
People want to capture a moment of me-ness when they are visiting a national
park or simply walking in a park. Every selfie is a reflection of a moment of the
self, as it once was.
Pictures are a way that we record our lives, the memories we don’t want to forget.
As humans, we tend to collect concrete evidence to support our memories.
Memories are also important on a larger scale because they have a special place in
our lives. They are a piece of “what really happened” and therefore have an
unusual value to us. Memories give our lives meaning!

5. Working Memory
a. Working memory, proposed by Alan Baddeley (2006, 2007) is a three-part system
that temporarily holds information while a person is working on a cognitive task.
Unlike long-term memory, working memory and its components have limited
capacity.
b. Working memory is an active memory system and is considered separate from
short-term memory. It can be thought of as a mental blackboard and is essentially
a place where ‘thinking’ occurs.
c. Unlike short-term memory, the capacity of working memory is 4 bits +1 or -1, or
3 to 5 chunks.
d. The first part is the phonological loop, which stores speech-based information
about the sounds of language. It includes an acoustic code and rehearsal.
e. The second part is called visuo-spatial sketchpad, which stores visual and spatial
information, including visual imagery.
f. The capacity of the phonological loop and visuo-spatial sketchpad are limited.
They function independently and can be used concurrently for separate tasks.
g. The third part is called the central executive, which combines information from
the phonological loop and visuo-spatial sketchpad. It also integrates information
from long-term memory. The central executive also has a limited capacity.
h. The concept of working memory can help us identify students at risk for academic
underachievement and has been beneficial in the early detection of Alzheimer
disease.
C. Long-Term Memory
1. Long-term memory is a relatively permanent memory storage base.
2. There is a virtually unlimited amount of space for long-term memory storage.
3. Consider the effect that technology and the Internet have on our memory. If we can
look something up or ‘google it’ then why bother memorizing it?
4. Explicit Memory
a. Explicit memory is also known as declarative memory. It is a type of memory
for specific facts or events and information that can be verbally
communicated.

form one memory. This theory proposes that the strength of synaptic
connections are the fundamental bases of memory.
7. Where Memories Are Stored
a. Karl Lashley (1950) discovered that memories are not stored in one specific area
of the brain, but throughout various parts of the brain. More recent research
suggests that memories are states of brain activity, recreating the brain’s function
when experiences first took place (Moscovitch & others, 2016).
8. Neurons and Memory
a. Researchers today believe that memories are located in specific sets or circuits
of neurons. Larry Squire says that most memories are probably clustered in
groups of about 1,000 neurons.
b. Researchers have also discovered that when brain chemicals such as
neurotransmitters are released in sea slugs, they trigger memories. Scientists
theorize that this process may occur the same way in humans.
c. Long-term potentiation states that if two neurons are activated at the same
time, the connection between them and thus the memory may be strengthened.
9. Brain Structures and Memory Functions
a. The hippocampus, the temporal lobes in the cerebral cortex, and other parts of
the limbic system are all involved in explicit memories.
b. The left frontal lobe is more active in encoding, while the right frontal lobe is
more active in retrieval.
c. The amygdala plays a role in emotional memories.
d. The cerebellum is involved in the implicit memories required to perform
various skills.
e. Various areas of the cerebral cortex, such as the temporal lobes and
hippocampus, function in priming.

b. Most flashbulb memories are of a personal nature rather than some national event.
c. Most people feel they are completely accurate in remembering the exact events
that occurred in a flashbulb memory, but they are probably not as accurate as they
think; however, they are still more accurate than everyday memories. In addition
to rehearsal following a flashbulb event, the emotional arousal triggered by the
event contributes to the vividness and durability of the memory.
3. Memory for Traumatic Events
a. Research has shown that memories of traumatic events are vivid, detailed, and
more accurate and long-lasting than memories of everyday events. Although
memory of trauma is subject to deterioration and distortion, this is usually in the
details, whereas the central part of the memory is almost always effectively
recalled.
b. Stress-related hormones signaled by the amygdala are likely to play a role in
memories that involve personal trauma and may account for the vividness of
memory for such traumatic events.
4. Repressed Memories
a. According to psychodynamic theory, repression is a defense mechanism by
which a person is so traumatized by an event that he or she forgets it and then
forgets the act of forgetting.
b. Repression is a special form of motivated forgetting. With motivated
forgetting, the memory is so painful that remembering it is not tolerable.
c. Cognitive psychologists consider memories that are recovered from traumatic
events should be called discovered memories because to the individual, they
experience these memories as real regardless of the accuracy.
d. Taking the examples of children who were victims of sexual abuse and how
their memories could be rediscovered even after much time has passed.
Children’s mistaken memories are only problematic if the fact-finders of legal
cases are unable to determine whether the child’s recollections are true or
false.
5. Eyewitness Testimony
a. Eyewitness testimony occurs when people are asked to report exactly what they
saw or heard as it relates to a crime.
b. Distortion, bias, and inaccuracy in memory are important factors to consider in
eyewitness testimony.
c. It is estimated that 75,000 people in the United States are asked to identify
suspects, and estimates are that these identifications are wrong one-third of the
time (Pezdek, 2012).
d. Popular shows such as CSI or other crime scene dramas give the impression that
DNA is widely available to protect innocent people from false accusations when
in fact less that 5% of legal cases include eyewitness testimony and biological
evidence.
e. Eyewitness testimony remains an important piece of evidence and improving the
validity of this is a critical goal. Law enforcement officials are applying

V. Forgetting
A. Encoding Failure
1. When information was never stored into long-term memory in the first place, there is
a problem with encoding failure.
B. Retrieval Failure
1. Researchers have theories on retrieval failure, such as problems with the information
in storage, the effects of time, personal reasons for remembering or forgetting, and the
brain’s condition.
C. Interference
Interference occurs because other information gets in the way of the information a
person is trying to remember.
1. When information that was learned earlier disrupts the remembering of material
learned later, it is called proactive interference. Old information gets in the way of
remembering new information.
2. When information that was learned later disrupts the remembering of material
learned earlier, it is called retroactive interference. New information gets in the way
of remembering old information.
D. Decay
1. Decay theory states that neurochemical memory traces disintegrate over time. Thus
this theory suggests that forgetting always increases with the passage of time.
E. Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon
1. Tip-of-the tongue phenomenon, or TOT phenomenon as it is sometimes referred to,
occurs when we almost remember something and are confident we know it, but
cannot retrieve it. This phenomenon occurs when we retrieve some of the information
but not all of it.
2. Research on TOT has shown that the sounds of words are linked in memory even if
their meanings are not.
F. Prospective Memory
1. When a person is trying to remember to do something in the future it is called
prospective memory. It includes memory for intentions. It includes timing (when) and
content (what).
2. Time-based prospective memory is when a person intends to do something after a
specified amount of time has passed.
3. Event-based prospective memory occurs when a person intends to do something that
is elicited by some external event or cue. These cues make event-based prospective
memory more effective than time-based prospective memory.
G. Amnesia

Chapter 7
1. Anterograde amnesia occurs when a person cannot remember new information. This
disorder occurs forward from the time of the event causing the amnesia. Consider
anterograde involving the inability to make new memories. H.M. suffered from
anterograde amnesia.
2. Retrograde amnesia occurs when someone cannot remember past information, but
does not have a problem forming or retrieving newer memories. The memories lost
are of things that occurred previous to the event causing the amnesia. The ability to
acquire new memories is not affected in these cases.
3. In some cases, people can have both anterograde and retrograde amnesia.

B. Sensory Memory
1. Sensory memory holds information only briefly before it is either lost or transferred
to short-term memory.
2. Echoic memory is auditory sensory memory.
3. Iconic memory is visual sensory memory.
4. George Sperling conducted the first research on sensory memory.
C. Short-Term Memory
1. Short-term memory has a limited capacity and usually holds information up to 30
seconds.

Suggested Activities
Sensory Memory: Play two lines of a song. Ask students if they heard the song. Next ask
students to write down the lyrics of the song they heard. Students may get some of the words but
not all of them, even though they told you that they did hear it. Next, run a PowerPoint slide
show with 10 slides, each with a different number on it, and run them rather quickly. Have

students write down the numbers they remember seeing. Students will probably remember some
of the numbers but not all of them. Break the students into groups and have them compare their
answers. Go over the correct answers as a class, and discuss how information in sensory
memory, both echoic and iconic, only lasts for a few seconds.
Short-Term Memory: Use Activity Handout 7.3: Chunking as way for students to experience
how chunking works. Students will see how their brains are already set up to chunk information
that is familiar to them.
Long-Term Memory: Use Activity Handout 7.4: What Type of Memory Is It? as a way to give
students experience in learning the various types of long-term memory, and also to see how
memories are organized.

6. Eyewitness testimony
Suggested Activities
Serial Position Effect: Write a list of 25 groceries on the board. Tell the students that they
should study this list for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes have elapsed, either erase or cover
the board and have the students write down as many of the items on the grocery list that they can
remember. Give the students about 5 minutes or so to write down their answers. Next, show
them the original list again and have them compare their answers to the correct list. Ask by a
show of hands how many of them got at least the first 5 items correct, and then ask them how
many of them got at least the last 5 items correct. Discuss with students how the answers they
gave demonstrate the primacy and recency effects.
Recall and Recognition: Break the class into groups, and have them discuss the various exams
that could be given to demonstrate recall and recognition. Students will probably come up with
essay exams and multiple choice exams the most. Then have them discuss other situations in
everyday life which employ recall and recognition. Discuss as a class some of the examples they
came up with and how their experiences differed between recalling and recognizing.
Flashbulb Memories: Ask students to take about 10–15 minutes and write down everything
they can remember about the where they were on September 11th, 2001, when they heard about
the terrorist attacks. Next, ask students to discuss what they wrote down to see what they
included. Some students may be brief and say where they were. Other students may say more,
such as what they were wearing that day, who was with them, and how they felt. Explain to the
students how a flashbulb memory is like someone taking a picture of them at that point in time,
and in a photo there are many different components to see. Have a class discussion wherein
students volunteer other instances of flashbulb memories they have experienced; have them
discuss what factors contributed to the vividness and durability of these memories.
Eyewitness Testimony: Use Activity Handout 7.5: Were They Really Eyewitnesses as a way to
study the area of eyewitness testimony. Students are to go online and find a case where
eyewitness testimony was false. Have the students discuss, in class, some of the articles they
found. Do a classroom exercise: show students a video clip of a simulated crime, such as a bank
robbery. After they have watched it, ask them various questions, such as what color shirt the
perpetrator was wearing, what color the getaway car was, etc. Write their various answers on the
board (or have a student do it). Then replay the video and let them see what they remembered
correctly or incorrectly. Discuss this as a class.
LO 7.5: Describe how the failure of encoding and retrieval are involved in
forgetting.

Suggested Activities
Encoding Failure: Have students write their answers to the following questions.
1. On a U.S. penny, which way does Lincoln’s face point—to the left or to the right?
2. What is written below Lincoln’s head?
3. What does it say above Lincoln’s head?
4. What is to the right of Lincoln’s face?
This assignment will show students that even though they think that they have encoded
information, they may not have encoded everything. There are errors in encoding information.
Prospective Memory: Break the class up into groups and ask them to discuss and come up with
two examples each of a time-based prospective memory and an event-based prospective
memory. After completing the assignment, have the students discuss with the rest of the class
their examples.

2. Should the criminal justice system put so much emphasis on eyewitness testimony? What
are some possible circumstances that could influence eyewitnesses to say they saw
something they really may not have seen?
Polling Questions
Polling 7.1: Remember Me?
Can a memory be forgotten and then remembered? Can a so-called memory be suggested
and then remembered as true? These questions lie at the heart of the memory of
childhood abuse issues and other experienced traumatic events. For a historical
background to prompt deeper discussions, visit:
http://www.apa.org/topics/trauma/memories.aspx. How many of you think that adults
who remember past childhood abuse are telling the truth about the experiences? How
many of you think that adults who remember past childhood abuse are making up these
memories for a hidden motive? Who believes we have enough technology, research, and
information to be able to see memories in the brain? How many would consider using a
neuroimaging technique to verify whether a person was telling the truth or lying about a
particular traumatic experience?
Polling 7.2: Just Google It!
Without a doubt, technology has changed our world. New research is being conducted on
the influence technology has on our memory. We’ve all been somewhere and someone
asked us a question that we didn’t know the answer to or couldn’t remember. So, what
did you do? Did you google it on your smartphone or use a devise to look up the answer?
Are the days of remembering facts for the sake of pure knowledge over now that we have
instant access to information from our devises? Within the last 3 days, how many of you
have googled (or searched on the Internet) an answer to something that you probably
should have known? Who feels less motivated to remember something now that you can
access that information instantly while on the go? How many of you think that this
method of accessing information (rather than memorizing it) has affected your ability to
do well on a test or in a class? How many of you think that memorization takes too much
time?

Memory, and Language. Current Anthropology, 51(S1), S135–S147.
Polling 7.3: Men vs. Women—The Best Multitasker Challenge
Ever wondered who is really better at multitasking? Just about everyone today is
expected to engage in multitasking in one way or another. As we learned about memory,
attention plays a very important role as to what we remember and its accuracy. How
many of you think that multitasking has interfered with your ability to remember some
important detail because you were too busy to stop one task to focus on the other?
Though controversial, there is some research that suggests there are gender differences in
multitasking ability. Who thinks that men are better at multitasking than women? (For
those who don’t poll in, indicate that they would think that women are better multitaskers
than men.) Who thinks they are better at multitasking than their friends or family? (If the
entire class thinks they are better, delve into this overconfidence a bit more.)

Chapter 7
1. Write down a memory that you feel has been especially important in making you who
you are. What are some characteristics of this self-defining memory? What do you think
the memory says about you? How does it relate to your current goals and aspirations? Do
you think of the memory often? You might find that this part of your life story can be
inspiring when things are going poorly or when you are feeling down?
2. Become a memory detective and explore the accuracy of your own memory for major
events. Think about an event for which you might have a flashbulb memory. You might
choose from a major event in recent history, such as the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Sandy, or
the earthquake in Haiti. Then ask yourself some easily verifiable questions about it, such
as what day of the week did it happen? What time of day? What were the date and year?
How many people were involved? When you have done your best to answer these
questions, go to the library or go online and check out the facts. Were your memories
accurate?
3. It is sometimes difficult to believe that our memories are not as accurate as we think. To
test your ability to be a good eyewitness, visit one of the following websites:

Read each statement below and then state what type of memory is being used or what type of
organizational technique is being used.
1. Susie is baking blueberry muffins and goes through the following steps: she preheats the
oven, mixes all the ingredients in the order in which they are presented, greases the
muffin pan, places the batter in separate cups, places the pan in the oven, and then sets
the timer.
2. In school, John is asked to name the first president of the United States and he answers,
“George Washington.”
3. Johanna is giving a speech in her speech class about her most memorable birthday, which
was her sweet sixteen birthday party.
5. Rebecca goes into a restaurant with her five-year-old niece and sits down. The niece
seems fidgety and wants to eat because she is so hungry. Rebecca explains to her that
they need to wait to order. She knows since this is a not a fast-food restaurant that they
must wait first for the server to bring them some menus. Next they have to give a drink
order and then when the server comes back they need to give him/her their dinner order.

"No, sama tuo minusta on", virkkoi Vanhanen, otti tavarat, sanoi
jäähyväset ja astui kotiinsa, tapaamatta ketään matkalla.
"Mi mitä? Velkaako! Ei, saamista minulla pitäisi olla. Vai sanoitteko

Hän oli leskimies ja sinä ollut jo kauan, aina siitä asti, kuin kuusi
vuotta sitte Liina syntyi hänelle entisen, jo varttuneemman
lapsijoukon jatkoksi. Rovasti suri silloin suuresti puolisoansa, joka
hänelle oli rakkahin kaikesta maan päällä, ja käänsi sitte kaiken
rakkautensa Liina-lasta kohtaan, toivoen hänestä itselleen
yksinäisten vanhuuden päiväin suloa.
Vanha Kaisa oli ainoa, josta Liinan lapselliset oikut eivät ainakaan
alussa tuntuneet kiusallisilta. Hän, pappilan kaikkein lasten hoitaja,
osasikin tottumuksesta jo edeltä päin arvata Liinan tahdon ja täyttää
sen ennen, kuin lapsi ehti sitä lausuakaan. Sen tähden he pysyivät
hyvinä ystävinä niin kauan, kuin Kaisa viitsi leikitellä. Mutta kun Liina
viimein oli Kaisan mielestä jo siksi suuri, että oli suotta hänen vaivata
vanhaa ihmistä hevosekseen, loppui ystävyyskin. Sitä paitsi oli Kaisa
viime ajat, noin vuosikauden, kiusannut Liinaa lukemaan ja tehnyt
sitä omalla vanhanaikaisella tavallaan, niin että luku tuli Liinalle
työksi ja hän aivan rupesi kammomaan entistä rakasta hoitelijaansa.
"Isä, isä, Kaisa kiusaa minua!" valitti hän. Rovasti heti utelemaan,
mitä Kaisa sitte hänelle teki. "Pakottaa yhä jankuttamaan: ii, sano ii;
ässä ää, sää; iisää. Osaanhan minä sen jo ulkoakin."
"Mitkä kirjaimet?"
"No, ne puustavit."
"Tavaapas nyt!"
"Aa, sano aa; ällä uu ässä, lus; aalus; ässä aa, saa; aalussaa.
Mutta se on niin hirmuisen ikävää!"
"Ei Kaisan tarvitse enää vaivata sinua, kyllä sinä jo osaat lukea!"
todisti rovasti.
