Ideas

Nice work getting some headings started :) Might I suggest referring back to our Cognitive Psychology essay on False Memories for some ideas? False mems are shown to be highly susceptible to emotion. Highly emotional significant life events are more susceptible to distortion when encoding/retrieving the memory. Think of the victim of a robbery who falsely identifies a culprit as having waved a gun in their face because the initial memory was emotionally charged and not accurately retained at the time. Also I think that we are more likely to have more more highly accessible memories for emotional events than everyday events. eg. the life-script hypothesis (or whatever it was called) where you selectively remember, for example, your wedding or college graduation easier than what you ate for breakfast the day before your wedding or college grad. Hope these ideas can help you! Best of luck! PatrickBateman (discuss • contribs) 04:43, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that Patrick - it definitely helps me with idea in which direction to go in :) -Akshoo

Hello! To add to the above comment, in Cognitive Psychology, we learned about how a stressful life event or pressure in one context can reflect in how something is recalled. Just a thought :) Good luck with it :) Pheonix (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, your page is looking great. In addition to the above comments, may I suggest that it also might be interesting to investigate if certain emotions (particularly happy emotions) help the encoding of memories, for example is an individual more likely to remember something that was encoded at a time of extreme joy? Best of luck :) Kelseyv23 (discuss • contribs) 11:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi! You could possibly include a section on flash bulb memories (http://www.apa.org/monitor/2011/09/memories.aspx)from memory (HA memory) these are closly linked to highly emotional events i.e. 9/11 Florence21 (discuss • contribs)

Hey, hope your doing well in the last few hours for this assignment! I'm looking at anticipation for my chapter and in a few areas I look at emotional anticipation. I talk about anticipation originally coming from a memory of past events and the emotions felt. I hope that makes sense... But I was wondering if I could link my page with yours as emotion and memory play a part in anticipation? --Christine.DW (discuss • contribs) 16:46, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Links

Hi,

Was doing youtube browse this morning of ted talks and there was a fascinating talk by 2002 nobel prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman, its called the riddle of experience vs. memory. I would definitely recommend watching it and maybe add to an external link section.

Helpful fact

Hopefully this isn't too late to help you with your chapter but I came across this in one of my articles. It mentions that when individuals suppress their emotions it can result in memory impairments especially in a social context. This is mainly due to the individual exerting cognitive resources to perform the regulation of their emotion.

This is really good. Good use of pictures and interactive learning! --Florence21 (discuss • contribs) 11:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this chapter is well prepared - some really useful and interesting information has been put forward. Isn't memory a fascinating topic? Theory This was an area that could be improved. There is little reference to specific theoretical constructs. To improve further, read widely, then select a few important theoretical perspectives and explore them thoroughly. Research Some really interesting and important research is been put forward - well done! Explanations were clear. To improve further, include some critical analysis of the literature in order to achieve a more well-rounded piece of work. Written expression Good use of headings made the work easy to follow, although it lacks flow in parts (particularly the introduction). The memory test is a great idea! Remember that this piece is aimed at an intelligent layperson, so be mindful of discussing terms that have not been defined. APA style was generally well done. ShaunaB (discuss • contribs)

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via login to the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener. If you wish to dispute the marks, see the suggested marking dispute process.

Overall A clearly presented multimedia presentation - well done! Structure and content This presentation is very nicely structured, with a clear and logical flow from start to finish. While chapter content is generally well summarised, the focus on concepts associated with memory is perhaps too strong, which leaves little room for an adequate discussion around research. Communication Communication was clear and speech was well paced throughout. To improve further, try to be more creative with your presentation to make it more engaging to the audience. Production quality Picture quality is good, and sound quality was also adequate. The production came across as quite professional - well done! ShaunaB (discuss • contribs)
