Understanding Memory Loss

 

Memory loss is frightening. The purpose of this assignment is to make you think of memory loss realistically. Complete the steps listed below:

• Watch the video,Living Without a Memory, which provides an overview of memory and discusses actual cases of memory loss.
• Select a movie that has featured a character with memory loss. Describe the main features of the impairment exhibited by the movie character.

Engage your critical thinking skills. How accurately is memory loss featured in the selected movie? Specifically, does the memory loss in the movie resemble actual cases? Is appropriate terminology used? Is the prognosis realistic?

• Note that statements regarding the accuracy or inaccuracy of the memory loss illustrated in the movie are to be supported by evidence collected by cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists (i.e., experts). Thus, review the literature on memory loss and use at least two peer-reviewed articles that can answer the questions above. Although your opinion is valuable and always welcome, it needs to be supported by scientific evidence.      
• Express your thoughts about how the movie could have more realistically depicted memory loss, its cause(s), time-course, and prognosis.
• Describe the memory loss featured in the selected movie as well as discussing its accuracy Keep in mind that accuracy refers to the description of symptoms, potential cause(s), prognosis and actual time-course.
