similar device. Theodore Berger‚ a biomedical engineer at the University of Southern California is working on memory enhancement in a form of prosthesis‚ surgically implanted directly into the brain. The prosthesis can act like an artificial hippocampus by electrically simulating the brain in a specific way to build memories. Its aim is to convert short-term-memory into long-term-memory and just like hippocampus‚ to store it. Berger’s experiment started by teaching a rabbit to engage an audio tone

A competing theory to Kaplan (1995)’s Attention Restoration Theory (ART) has been proposed by Ulrich et al. (1991). Similar to Attention Restoration Theory‚ Ulrich et al. (1991)’s Psycho-evolutionary Restoration Theory is also based on the assumption that human physiology has evolved in a natural environment. Because of this‚ it also shares the assumption that brain and sensory systems are tuned to efficiently process natural content and are less efficient at processing urban or built environments

The value of sensory memory is challenged by Elizabeth Loftus‚ an American psychologist. In her research article‚ she states that imagining oneself in a position of child sexual abuse can lead their brain into misinterpreting their intentions making them believe they went through the abuse themselves. Confabulation of memories is from when a false event is repeated over and over again in one’s mind. Loftus claims that when a person that thinks they went through the abuse listens to victims talk about

“Consider the extent to which short term factors are now far more important than long term factors in shaping voter behaviour” Both short and long term factors unarguably play a crucial role in the voting behaviour of the electorate. However there is evidence to suggest that during the last decade the effect of long term factors has diminished considerably while the influence of short term factors has increased. By examining and deconstructing various long and short term factors we can examine their

Effects of Background Music on Phonological Short-term Memory In this research article‚ written by Pierre Salame and Alan Baddeley‚ a series of tests were conducted to observe if a person’s short term memory was affected by listening to instrumental music versus vocal music. It is noted that immediate memory is verbally disrupted by concurrent- occurring simultaneously- speech.
