Introduction The concept of working memory is very new. It was first used by Miller in 1960 and it referred to memory used to plan and carry out behavior. From that time on it has been researched and explored numerously - many theories have come to life, some of them very different, some different only in naming. In my paper I would like to compare two models that I personally have found most interesting - the multi-component model of working memory created by Baddeley and Hitch (1974) and Baddeley
from 2006 with regards to cognitive training for those with MS saying “compensatory strategies seem to be the most effective intervention because remediation of cognitive deficits (e.g., memory drills) has little research support. Early goes on to suggest cognitive strategies for those with MS such as using memory aids, allowing extra time for task completion, decreasing environmental distractions, avoiding fatigue, keeping organized and avoiding clutter. Well that was ten years ago. Currently, right
False memories are events recalled by a witness that did not actually happen. There is research which suggests that up to 20% of those studied maintain a record of detailed personal memories that are completely false (Mazzoni, Scoboria, and Harvey, 2010). As reported in Alexander (2013), false memories can even be found in those with an otherwise excellent recall: Some people have an amazing ability to recall specific events, like exactly what happened on a particular day decades ago. For example

times, the concept of memory has been looked upon as an important element in humans. In those centuries, it was attributed to higher beings, such as the ancient Greeks explaining the idea with their goddess, Mnemosyne, with a part of her very name, mneme, meaning memory in the language. Other connected etymological themes with the term include remembrance, mindful, and historical account, as well as anxious, as many memories can have an emotional weight. The connection between memory and emotions have
way police officers, accident investigators, and attorneys would question an eyewitness. The Misinformation Effect is a “memory phenomenon that can introduce misleading or incorrect information into memory and even contribute to the formation of false memories (“What is the Misinformation Effect? 2012).” Memory is highly malleable and open to suggestion. Loftus once said, “Memory works a little bit more like a Wikipedia page: you can go in there and change it, but so can other people.” Why the Misinformation
this treatment prolongs life, mental function is affected. A new study examines a technique that may preserve the mental functions. Researchers found that limiting the amount of radiation to the hippocampus during whole brain radiotherapy may preserve cancer patients' memory function. The purpose of this review is to provide a brief overview of studies that provide a rationale for hippocampal avoidance. Also, to summarize published studies in order to help radiation therapist understand the clinical
Chapter 1 : Introduction Cities in developing countries face similar challenges in attempting to cope with the phenomenon of rapid urbanisation. Their ability to cope with such challenges is largely contingent upon their limited resources and the institutional framework in which they operate. Social organisations, cultures, administrative traditions, planning conventions and political dynamics vary considerably from city to city, and country to country. When we talk about Egypt considering the rapid
(pyramidal cells), that are type of neuron found in hippocampus (Cajal., 1894). Since then, studies on pyramidal neurons have given attention on subject matter ranging from neuroplasicity to memory and cognition. The hippocampus is involved in multifaceted processes in memory process which includes forming, organizing and storing memories. It also enables us to convert the substance of working memory and new information detained briefly in the prefrontal cortex into long-term form for storage
professor will not come to the student in case the student is struggling. The student must seek help from the professor and from the college facilities such as writing center, tutoring center etc. the professor won’t teach the class twice in case the student missed it. Secondly, in highschool the students spend most of their times in the class, where in college the student spends
