...1.Identify the central issue or argument from a social/behavioral (psychology) disciplinary perspective. The central issue from this video is that people create false memories in their head that can effect their mental health and the peoples around them. People have been falsely accused of crimes due to false memories and people going to psychotherapy can create false memories through imagination, dream interpretation, hypnosis, and exposure to false information. 2.Identify the evidence used by Elizabeth to support the central issue or argument. Elizabeth uses the case of Steve Titus, a innocent man sent to jail for a crime he didn’t do who later lost everything important in his life and eventually died of a stress related heart attack. Steve...

...reactions can lead to undue distress and be manifested in psychological disorders such post-traumatic stress disorder as well as anxiety disorders. One source of unwanted emotional reactions is memories of stressful or traumatic events. Past research has found that highly emotional memories can be difficult to forget, and can be frequently brought into conscious awareness without volition. Traumatic memories may well be remembered due to unique organizational and structural features in memory. Whether such memories lack proper coherence and organization, or whether they are overly integrated into the life story, stressful memories appear to differ from everyday memories their structure and organizational features. As a result, once a stressful experience has ended, the experience can continue to affect an individual through his or her memory of the event. In spite of the ongoing controversy surrounding how the organizational aspects of stressful and traumatic events differ from those of non-traumatic memories; most researchers agree that emotion is a central aspect of traumatic events. Many factors influence which moments from our past are remembered best, and the affect experienced during an event is an important contributor. “Flashbulb memories” which are events of emotional significance are more likely to be recalled vividly than mundane experiences, and neurobiological research has confirmed...

...In “The American Way of Death” Jessica Mitford tells us about a funeral ceremony, how a deceased body turns into "Beautiful Memory Picture", and in details explains how it is getting done. Each procedure performed on the body, changes it beyond recognition, creating a false picture. Thus, it can be confirmed that the entire preparation for the funeral ceremony is a hidden lie for most Americans. Common American funeral practises include many steps for the transformation of the deceased body, which are serious lies like “Facade” and “Delusion”. The body is prepared before it can be shown to people. In order to create a deceptive image, different steps are used. One of the important steps is to make a body look like it is not dead but is simply...

...diagram indicates four ways of knowing. Propose the inclusion of a fifth way of knowing selected from intuition, memory or imagination, and explore the knowledge issue it may raise in two areas of knowledge. The traditional four ways of knowing are sense perception, language, reason and emotions. Imagination is a subset of the four ways of knowing. My imagination can help guide my emotions. For example, if I were to imagine what I was going to have for dinner I would feel both excited and hungry. As for sense perception, it can also be affected by imagination. If I came home with the smell of something delicious, I would imagine that it would be a food I like, however it may completely be different. The smell of the food could also be something of which I do not enjoy eating. Reason is also affected by imagination, we often imagine what the consequences of our decisions are. The reason behind the decision made is the result of the imagined consequences. The knowledge issue of this topic is how dependable is imagination as a way of knowing, and to what extent does imagination guide us on our pursuit for knowledge. Imagination is the innate ability to combine more than one memory in order to create a subjectively unprecedented visualized experience not necessarily limited by the physical laws of reality. Memory is an experience from which perceptions and emotions are retained. The four ways of knowing accurately describe all...

...Four Great Errors Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher who played a major role in contemporary intellectual development. In his work “Twilight of Idols”, Nietzche points out the four great errors which we constantly use to misinterpret reality and create false reasons that we believe show us the world in a more clearer light. The four great errors consist of mistaking cause and effect, false causality, imaginary causes, and the error of free will. Here I will go more into depth on Nietzsche’s four great errors. The first error is mistaking the cause and effect, or in other words mistaking the effect as the cause. An error that is the most recent and yet the most ancient habit of humankind, as Nietzsche says. Nietzsche goes as far as calling it the most dangerous of the four errors and refers to it as “the real corruption of reason.” (Nietzsche qtd. in Classics of Philosophy 1060) (Religion and morality actually use this error in its teachings. Religion and morality follow a similar formula that proceeds as follows: “Do this and that, refrain from this and that – and then you will be happy! And if you don’t…” (Nietzsche qtd. in Classics of Philosophy 1060) It goes on to imply that straying from this ideal would lead to negative consequences. An example of how cause and effect are misconstrued is that man is destroyed by vices such as adultery or alcoholism. If a man who has lost everything but continues his dependence on alcohol it is easy to assume that his addiction...

...learnings of human behavior. Science itself is all observation and learning, we try and try experiments in order to come to one or several conclusions and we observe in order to discover new things. In order to understand behaviors and what causes people do to the things they do we must observe not only the person but their surroundings and daily habits in order to understand them. In behavioral science there are many different sub-sections that can vary from clinical to criminal. Within these different sections we learn by making observations not just of one person but of every person we come across in our work and therefore have to learn how to make treatments based on these observations. In criminal cases, most of the time we are analyzing not only why a person has committed the crime they have committed but what drove them to become the person that they are. In many cases there is a mental illness whether treated or untreated that can cause the person to become unbalanced and therefore dangerous. Other times it is caused by childhood events which cause mental trauma which causes the person to act out in a certain manner. Cognitive psychology goes hand in hand with handling eye-witness testimony. With this type of psychology we use different styles however the memory part of cognitive psychology coincides with memory recall and how a person is able to retain memories in order to determine if the person’s memory is indeed valid. Cognitive psychology is defined as a branch of psychology...

...Memory Paper Lorena Vega PSY/211 April 4, 2011 Betsabe Salcido Memory is acquired over the years and is vital for our learning skills. Language becomes very natural when we already know what, when and how to say something. We form sentences, phrases, paragraphs by knowing what we are going to say before we say it. Most people believe that when we speak, it is without thought and is done unconsciously, but before we speak we need to plan it. In this paper I will explain the relationship between memory, language skills, motivation and the way they come together to affect the production of your short and long-term memory. Why is memory so hard to understand? The answer, in part, is that the term labels a great variety of phenomena. I remember how to play chess and how to drive a car; I remember the date of Descartes' death; I remember playing in the snow as a child; I remember the taste and the pleasure of this morning's coffee; I remember to feed the cat every night. “Many very different things happen when we remember” (Wittgenstein 1974) Language is important to the way we communicate. There are four steps in the process of going through the language skills. You must first learn to listen, then to speak, then to read, and finally to write. These four steps are called “language skills.” Experience has shown that written and oral communication must be practiced extensively to be mastered. It is something that takes practice until you are comfortable enough to...

...believed and proven, and when it is not it is false. Truth needs to be analytic and synthetic. An absolute claim can only be suggested when the being of it is proven for eternity. There are some distinction of false and truth but it is not absolute. Since to an extent, we distinct things unknowingly into two category, true and false. This distinction it helps us to decide. We distinct it by what we believe, perceived and justified. When we were a child we were told about what is true and what is false, and as we grow we choose it by our own opinion. What if what we’re told since we’re young is false and vice versa? There are some foundations to why we consider things as true and false and how we make our own distinction to understand things. Such as by learning things from other people and being influenced. Religious believe and our own personality or values to life. Sometimes we consider truth to what we want it to be true, as what is comfortable for us to think. Most of our truth and false settles down from a community, our knowledge and believe is tied to what our community is tied to. We believe because it is proven or because we were told and believe it. In the past people believe the world is flat and that there is a cliff at the end of the world. However, since we’ve been outer space we believe it is oval. The truth we once believe turned false. Absolute truth may exist and we might know it. However, since we aren’t omniscient we can’t assume it’s absolute. Truth depends...

...Module 3 – A Closer look at Information Processing, Personalities, and Perception Slide 1 Text: This module will look at an Information Processing model first, then it will cover what happens when we detect or think we detect an information signal. Next, this module looks at how our personality affects the way we perceive information, and finally provide some examples of interesting and complex pictures to perceive (a true example of information processing). (You should have done the Common Sense demo and determined your MBTI four letters before you view this slide presentation.) Slide 2 Text: According to Wickens, 1984, information processing begins when a stimuli hits one or many of our five senses. Once that stimuli is sensed, our long-term memory determines if this stimuli is something experienced before (like the smell of a lemon) or is a new sensation. If it is a new sensation, then it is put into short term memory (often referred to as working memory) until a decision and response is selected (is this a good or bad sensation). Once a response is made (that is very cold or hot!), we receive feedback from our senses on whether the initial response was correct or another decision or response is required based on the feedback from our first decision. Let’s use as an example, looking at someone showing their hand with the fingers in a fist and the thumb pointing up. Most of us would interpret that signal as an “alright or good deal” signal. However, in Australia...

...Roberta are reunited with one another through the course of their lives, they slowly begin to see and accept that Maggie is a reflection of their mothers, and – to a larger extent – also themselves. The issues explored in “Recitatif” resonate with many readers on many different levels and, in effect, much has been written and discussed about it. This is largely due to the fact that Morrison has left a lot open to the reader for interpretation. “Revised Memories and Colliding Identities: Absence and Presence in Morrison’s ‘Recitatif’ and Viramontes’s ‘Tears on My Pillow’” by Helane Adams Androne is a very focused critical piece that argues that both central characters have suffer from strained relationships. "Transfiguring Aesthetics: Conflation, Identity Denial, and Transference in “Passing Texts” of Black Narrative" by Tomeiko Ashford and "Toni Morrison and the Burden of the Passing Narrative" by Juda Burnett are both well-written reviews that examine the racial identities of the characters and provide various explanations how the race component affects the story.
