Aim The Sydney suburbs of Pyrmont and ultimo are located on a peninsula on the western side of darling harbor. In earlier days the two suburbs ran along Union Street. Now the Pyrmont-Ultimo peninsula is a long strip of land known by locals that it is ‘into the deep waters of Sydney Harbour’. Beginning in the early 1800s the Pyrmont-Ultimo area was once occupied by many ‘blue-collar’ workers generally known as manual labour workers‚ the area was surrounded by industrial areas or the waterfronts.

Forgetting is the inability to recall or recognise information that was once stored in the memory and is now not available or cannot be accessed. There are four main theories to forgetting; trace decay‚ cue dependant‚ displacement and interference. Displacement seeks to explain forgetting in the short term memory. According to Shiffrin and Atkinson’s model of memory‚ the short term memory has certain characteristics such as limited capacity so if information is not rehearsed‚ it would be forgotten

Nuclear Waste by Richard A. Muller Nuclear waste is a radioactive waste that is dangerous‚ and a fair percentage of people would agree on this topic. However‚ is it really dangerous or is it just harmful to an extent? In society‚ many debates are held over trying to prove to the world that this substance is harmful. In the essay‚ “Nuclear Waste‚” Muller states clearly that he sides with the anti-nuke of the debate and how he pinpoints the facts of nuclear waste with great persuasion. Yet‚ it is

about whether memories fade due to the passing of time (decay theory) or because of events that interfere with one another (interference theory). From the research that has been done into the subject of memory one can deduce that both the decay and interference theory play an important role in understanding why we forget. The decay theory aims at explaining the reason why people are more likely to forget information over time. The decay theory is based on the idea that memories are stored in

Sydney is a world city that currently has urban dynamics operating in it. Sydney is located on the coast in the South-East quadrant of Australia. Urban Decay and Renewal is clearly evident in Pyrmont – Ultimo‚ a suburb located with in a kilometre from the CBD. Rhodes ‚ further to the north west of Pyrmont‚ is also under going Urban Decay and Renewal. The silicon corridor is an area of places where companies have decided to suburbanise some of their office blocks due to the cheaper land. The

Explanations for forgetting. One possible explanation for forgetting is retrieval failure sometimes known as decay theory. According to this theory‚ a memory trace is created every time a new theory is formed. Decay theory suggests that over time‚ these memory traces begin to fade and disappear. If information is not retrieved and rehearsed‚ it will eventually be lost. One problem with this theory‚ however‚ is that research has demonstrated that even memories which have not been rehearsed or

engram (the memory trace in the brain) gradually decays or loses its clarity. While such a theory seems reasonable‚ it would‚ if left at this point‚ do little more than restate behavioral evidence of forgetting at the nervous-system level. Decay or deterioration does not seem attributable merely to the passage of time; some underlying physical process needs to be demonstrated. Until a neurochemical basis for memory can be more explicitly described‚ any decay theory of forgetting must await detailed development
