Questions and Answers

What can schemas and scripts do to our memory?

  • Cause confusion and memory loss

    Study Notes

    Neuroscience of Memory and Reminiscence

    • Brain imaging (fMRI) study analyzed responses to own photos, lab photos, and new photos
    • Own and lab photos activated similar brain structures, including the medial temporal lobe and parietal cortex
    • Own photos led to more prefrontal cortex activation than lab photos
    • Reminiscence bump: significant events in a person's life, often from adolescence and young adulthood
    • The "reminiscence bump" phenomenon is linked to the encoding of self-identity and rapid life changes
    • Cultural life-script hypothesis suggests events are easier to recall if they fit the cultural life script
    • Cortisol release following emotional experiences enhances memory consolidation in humans
    • Flashbulb memories are linked to highly memorable events and are influenced by rehearsal and media coverage
    • Tararioco and Rubin's study doubted the special nature of flashbulb memories
    • Constructive nature of memory involves source monitoring and errors, such as cryptoamnesia
    • Real-world knowledge can affect memory and lead to source monitoring errors
    • Memory is a constructive process, influenced by various factors including emotions and cultural scripts
