Description
When does memory begin? Some psychologists think that memory and experience begins at birth. Others believe memory and experience begin in the womb when we are physically still attached by the umbilical cord to our mothers, and that we not only exchange all of our fluids, but in the womb, we exchange thought and emotion. We have ‘womb memory’. Often people will say they do not have a good memory, or that they have forgotten, when in truth they do have a good and intact memory but are unable to access the information, or schema, stored in the mind. Other times there are perfectly good explanations for why memory seems to fail us, especially as we mature into older age.
This class delves into the anatomy and function of memory. With discussions on PTSD, Flashbulb Memory, Spontaneous Remembering, managing memory trauma, Emotional Tagging, Forgetting, Amnesia, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia, as well as the Defense Mechanism of Regression and Freud’s theory on forgetting, it provides essential insights and practical knowledge. Whether you’re working in professional care settings, managing family members, or simply interested in understanding the workings of the human mind, this module offers invaluable expertise and is crucial for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of memory.
