Connections between The Maze Runner and Lost Memories Both my book‚ The Maze Runner‚ and the poem‚ Lost Memories‚ have something to do with lost memories. The main character Thomas awoke in a lift. He does not remember anything. The poems said "My mind went blank." This is similar to what Thomas feels. The book said "he didn’t know where he came from‚ or how he’d gotten inside the dark lift" (2). He could not remember anything about his life besides his name. The poem also said "I can’t even remember

Random Access Memory – RAM. Where information is stored temporarily when a program is run. Information is automatically pulled into memory‚ we cannot control this. RAM is cleared automatically when the computer is shutdown or rebooted. RAM is volatile (non-permanent). b. Read Only Memory – ROM. More permanent than RAM. Data stored in these chips is nonvolatile -- it is not lost when power is removed. Data stored in these chips is either unchangeable or requires a special operation to change

Summary: I chose to review the article from the Financial Times entitled “False Memory‚ Manipulation‚ and the Tooth Fairy” (Ahuja‚ 2016). This was an article that depicted the clash between science and convictions made on the basis of retrieving repressed memories. The scandal occurred in the 1990s‚ when Elizabeth Loftus‚ a professor of law and cognitive science‚ revealed evidence that the retrieval of repressed memories is typically flawed and should not be used in determining whether someone is guilty

This restless lifestyle will significantly reduce health level and in fact reduces our memory consolidation and opportunity to use our unconscious mind to improve the skill that we learn. This theory was first introduced by Muller and Pilzecker about 100 years ago. They made a hypothesis that memory consolidation is time dependent and require regulating from our brain cell which leads to further development in memory consolidation theory nowadays. (McGaugn‚ 2000.) According to “Neurology board review:

Alan Baddley’s working memory model explains what goes on inside the short-term memory and the working memory. It consists of two temporary storages for short-term memory depending on the type of information. The visuospatial sketchpad stores the visual and spatial images for manipulation. The phonological loop maintains auditory memory by speech rehearsal. Visual/spatial images and auditory information are stored in separate locations in working memory. Another component in Baddley’s model is the
