The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams is classified as a Memory Play (Williams, 5). Being a memory play, it is dimly lighted, it is sentimental, it is not realistic (Williams, 5). Memories often are biased to what people want to remember, or how they want to remember. Tom Wingfield, the narrator of the play, explains that In memory, everything seems to happen to music (Williams, 5). All of the characters in the play have been in some way affected by […]
When thinking of photography we often think about capturing a moment that we can always share with others and are able to reflect on the memories we built with friends and family. However, in the world of criminal justice photography has a different meaning but, it still captures those exact moments. Forensic photography is the capturing of a crime scene or any physical evidence in its natural state and being able to record those images for the purpose of using […]

When it comes to transitioning to adulthood, a lot takes place and many memories are created. There is different concept with the transitions, and they can be determined by the culture and ethnic background of the individual. The rites of passage, the different attachment styles and different types of attraction all contribute to transition to adulthood and forming and establishing lasting relationships. A normative perspective is also the time for relationships and romance to happen while transitioning. There are four […]
It is important to acknowledge that the past and the present can coexist in a single work to remarkable effect. In Maxine Hong Kingston’s “Woman Warrior”, memories are so closely associated with the present and with legends that it becomes difficult to distinguish reality from fiction; indeed, the subtitle of Kingston’s work is “Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts”, implying that the author did not intend for one to make such distinctions. Kingston does this in order to suspend the […]

Laughter enhances a person’s psychological well-being. People often laugh at humorous and entertaining films, friends, and occurrences. In most occasions, people laugh involuntarily. However, people have different capacities to control to what extent they laugh. At times, laughter can be sarcastic and ironical based on the prevailing situation. Personally, I usually laugh when I remember the most embarrassing moments I have experienced in the past, and these memories are even lighter when described by my friends. The better part of […]

They move to other countries hoping to find help and safety, leaving behind everything they own, even some of their beloved ones as well as their memories. Many of these refugees move when their country cannot afford to help them and they are in extreme poverty, […]
Abstract False memories can be partially accurate or completely inaccurate events. Using three different experiments or studies, different factors of false memories can be identified. By identifying three actual events and one false event, Loftus provided insight on how suggestion can lead to false memories. An experiment using photographs as memory cues showed that photos can be suggestive and lead to false memoires. A final experiment looking at different personality traits showed that certain individuals are more susceptible to false […]
The history of recovered memories dates as recently as the 1980’s. Repressed memories are essentially “memories of traumatic, serious, extended, or repeated childhood sexual abuse can be ‘repressed’ or otherwise completely lost, and can be recovered under expeditious circumstances, years and even decades later” (Tully, 1996). Judith Herman published a report in 1981 where women claimed they had massive repression (Tully, 1996). The variety of methods that were originally used by Herman and eventually began catching on included “individual & […]
Introduction Many people find themselves with the ability to recall important historical events in which they were alive to experience. These memories tend to be highly vivid and are long-lasting autobiographical memories that hold emotional significance. People hold these memories in higher confidence than they would every day memories because of the emotional connection they share with that specific day in history. Flashbulb memories are strong emotions produced by a historical event that prompt people to retell their personal stories […]
Chapter 1: The Horde Fast footsteps pounded through the parking lot, tennis shoes thundering. Andy ran as fast as he could. His heartbeat throbbed in his ears. Just make it to the school’s gate. Make it to the front gate and I’m safe. Andy gripped the shotgun in his sweating hands, stumbling on the concrete. Loud grumbles exploded from behind him. Andy risked a glance. Animated corpses followed close behind him. Zombies. They reached out decomposing arms, their yellow fingernails […]
One of my favorite memories of Elementary school was in Kindergarten when we raised baby chicks. The baby chicks were given to us as eggs and we kept them in an incubator for a couple of days. After 3 or so days we were all getting worried about our baby chicks because none of them had shown sides of hatching. The next day in the middle of class one of the baby chicks poked is little beak through, then all […]

And also we got him toothpaste toothbrush soap and we got him some clothes and shoes. And we […]
Self-identity, as stated by Theodore Sider is, ‘[W]hat makes persons numerically same over time…” (Sider). What makes up who is one is at any given moment? Is the defining point of the first memory one remembers that shapes who one has become in the present? Is one the same person one was last week? To answer that question, probably not. John Locke explains in his Memory Theory, ‘[W]e go to sleep every day, but when we wake up, our conscious […]
Introduction Remember Sleeping Beauty? Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel? Most of the world’s nostalgic memories of these childhood-favorites are lies. Everyone knows that one’s memory can fail them sometimes. Humans are a forgetful species, constantly not remembering what they walked into the room for, or bickering with their friends over an event that happened not even a day ago because they swear it happened differently than how they’re being told. Well, if everyone knew the true background behind many innocent fairy […]
Eventually, the boys had managed to calm themselves down. Numbly, Ralph followed the officer to the rowboat that would take them to the ship. Out of the corner, of his eye, Ralph saw Jack come up beside him. “Here,” muttered Jack, shoving Piggy’s specs into Ralph’s hand. Ralph stared at the only bit of Piggy he still had. He nodded in thanks, not trusting himself to speak. In silence, both boys continued walking. Upon reaching the rowboat, Ralph turned around […]

Introduction The ever-growing demand for improved computing performance has driven the search for new computing technologies, Technologies which are smaller, faster and less power consuming. There is a necessary condition in implementing any new technology that must be scalable and capable. Memristor or memristive nanodevices are expected to be this new technology. Memristive devices are electrical resistance switches that can retain a state of internal resistance based on the history of applied voltage and current. These devices can store and […]
Memory is the faculty of the brain by which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. Memory is vital for one’s experiences. In Beloved, memory is a dangerous and devastating for the human mind.

College is an important time in one’s life filled with events that create memories that should last a lifetime. Over time all of the memories collected can start to mix together and all of these important and fun events can start to become faded in one’s mind. Photographs are an easy way to preserve memories for later in life. A camera would create high quality pictures to add more clean and clear representation of everyday and special moments. Cameras take […]
Abstract Previous research has suggested that both chronic and acute stress can impair memory (Sandi, 2013); however, there is little research on which type of stress creates more false memories. Thus, the present study aims to determine whether chronic or acute stress has a greater impact on the formation of false memories. It is hypothesized that there will be an interaction between chronic and induced stress, such that chronically stressed people who are exposed to stress will create the most […]

Emotions are an affective state of consciousness where feelings result in physical and psychological changes that influence our thoughts and behaviors (Cherry, 2019). Emotions are often referred as feelings. These feelings can include experiences such as happiness, hate, love, kindness, and grief. As an integral part of our life, emotions make up part of who we are. Emotions are often indistinguishable and indescribable as they direct a person’s points of view from which they see life (Cherry, 2019). People use […]

The brain controls the body both physically and emotionally. Thousands of neurons work cooperatively to send signals and to express emotional statue. The human brain became an ambiguous puzzle to scientists that it led to significant in-depth research in the form of experimenting with patients and performing surveys that the scientists could then use to conclude the results around the function of the human brain. It is still an enigma, in which scientists are still trying to master the piece. […]
There are many styles of writing, two of which are popular press articles, such as Huston (2019), and peer-reviewed scholarly articles, such as Otgaar, Scoboria, & Smeets (2013). While sharing a basic structure and a similar goal, they differ in writing style, the citation format, and the audience the authors are addressing. Huston (2019) discusses how memory has been used as a weapon by the press, political figures, and individuals online against the general population through the creation and manipulation […]
There is a consensus among researchers that human memory is prone to distortions. The study of false memories addresses this phenomenon, examining individuals’ recollection of past events. This paper aims to discuss the nature of false memories and what effect they may have on our lives. In particular, this essay focuses on how false memories can be elicited in experimental or other settings, how research in false memories has improved our understanding of the cognitive effects of trauma, and how […]
