What Are Some Factors Do You Think Might Contribute To The Development Of False Memories

1. “Watch the following video (link provided in Chapter 8 Resources): The Fiction of Memory. How does this video change the way you view memory? Do you think it is possible for people to have memories that are not real or faulty? Discuss some factors do you think might contribute to the development of false memories, and explain how you think eyewitness testimony should be handled in the courtroom.”

This video changed the way I views memory, because I realized how important your memory is, without a memory you don’t feel that you exists. You would live in the moment without ever being able to recall or have recognition or able to learn or remember the past or being able to have a memory of you present or future. You would live in the present,
Research has found that children that had spent the most time in day care had slightly advanced thinking and language skills. However they had an increased rate of aggressiveness and defiance. Some risk when spending a lot of time in day care can be bad. Daycare can be good for cognitive development and daycare can be bad by making kids more aggressive and impulsive. Children in higher quality daycare develop slightly better cognitive and language skills than being in lower quality daycares. Factors that might influence how strongly daycare affects a child are, the time spent in a daycare, and the daycare settings and how there organized.

You might be tempted to use physical punishment to control his or her behavior, but come up with a better alternative and explain why it would be more effective than physical punishment.”
