episodic memory is defined as a personal memory for specific events (lecture‚ week 1). The movie Embers deals directly with this concept as it portrays a future dystopian society in which an airborne pathogen causes symptoms of complete anterograde amnesia as well as deteriorated episodic memory. The memory concepts portrayed in the film by and large hold fast to existing scientific theories and evidence. I will address two aspects that I believe the movie portrayed correctly about memory. The first

Beloved Memories I Beloved‚ different references to past memories are made very often. Yet‚ in the story‚ we are not provided with any background information on Sethe or any other characters in the story. It is interesting how the audience meets a character and gets to know more about them as the know them for a longer period of time.

The researchers were interested in discovering information about the emergence of multiple memory systems in infancy. It is understood that memory functions as two or more systems; but when these systems emerge

reliability of human memory‚ though typically seen as quite accurate and trust-worthy‚ has been questioned by researchers in recent decades. In particular‚ one area of memory that has raised questioning is emotional memories that are extraordinarily vivid and detailed‚ which were first referred to as ‘flashbulb memories’ in 1977 by Roger Brown and James Kulik‚ which occur due to powerful events such as the death of Princess Diana‚ and the terrorist attacks on 9/11. These memories are not as reliable
