Task – Respond to 2 of your classmates. Compare and contrast the experiences they have had regarding memory processes with your own experiences. Ask them an additional question to help you better understand their viewpoint. Remember that you must do this with 2 of your classmates. Your responses to classmates should be in the 100-150 word range and should be more than just telling them they did a good job or stating your agreement with their response. 

First response - I believe with all these different and possible stressful scenarios, it would be very easy to have a false memory about a certain situation. I am sure I have some false memories without knowing. There are plenty of memories related to my Marine Corps experience that could be slightly altered without me even realizing it. It is very possible that some of the more stressful times I have been through could have incorrect details if I were asked about them today. Not that I would ever try to lie intentionally about any stories I may have but with these memories in particular being while I was in a stressful state of mind and with how some time has passed since then, there is no guarantee I would remember it 100% correctly. To the best of my recollection, I can not say for certain that I have never planted a false memory in someone else’s mind. The only way I could ever see me trying something like that to someone, is as a joke or I was just trying to mess with a friend of mine. I would never do it in a serious situation where I would not end up telling the individual that it was just a joke and the memory was not actually real. I think it can be cruel and damaging to do to someone. For example, a man with the name of Julius Earl Ruffin spent time in jail due to a false memory from the victim of a sexual assault crime (Reiss, 2009). Unfortunately the entire case rested only upon the victims testimony without much more evidence (Reiss, 2009). It was not until 21 years of jail time later that it was it proven through DNA evidence that Julius Earl Ruffin was innocent (Reiss, 2009). 

Second response - False eye witness accounts are very important today. What happened at the scene? You may not remember because of environmental factors.  Psychological Science

 (Links to an external site.) states, “Memory doesn’t record our experiences like a video camera. It creates stories based on those experiences. The stories are sometimes uncannily accurate, sometimes completely fictional, and often a mixture of the two; and they can change to suit the situation. Eyewitness testimony is a potent form of evidence for convicting the accused, but it is subject to unconscious memory distortions and biases even among the most confident of witnesses. So memory can be remarkably accurate or remarkably inaccurate.” My conclusion on eye witness accounts are, they’re unbelievably inaccurate, we shouldn’t dwell on this type of evidence when studies show our memory can be at fault.

There are 3 main types of memory. Sensory, short term and long term memory. Sensory only holds information for a brief period of time. This memory is connected to your senses. Visual, auditory, smell, etc. Sensory memory is very detailed, that’s why when we smell a certain smell, it reminds us of something very particular. Back in 2019, I went to Destin for fall break. I used a bath and body works perfume and to this day it still brings back very detailed memories of the beach. Sensory memory can only be remembered when we use certain strategies to transfer it to long term memory. Short term memory is exactly what it sounds like. Short term has more capacity than sensory, but we only remember for 30 seconds at the most. Working memory allows us to hold information while doing cognitive tasks. This includes short term memory and attention. We cannot be rehearsing information while we are working on solving a problem. This may be why measures of short-term memory capacity are not strongly related to cognitive aptitudes, such as intelligence, while working memory capacity is (King 2018).  Lastly, long term memory, permanent memory that is stored for a long period of time. The capacity of long term memory is phenomenal.
