After watching the first video Charlie bit me! I chose to do a running record since the video was short and I was able to record all the details that I saw happen. I was able to recall most everything that happened. The reason I believe I was able to recall all the information was there where two children involved and one of them was an infant. Therefore, it was easier to recall everything that happened in greater detail. For video number two The Sandbox, I found it more difficult to recall every detail that happened by the end of the observation. After re-watching the video I was able to gather more information that was missed the first time around. It can be difficult to try and recall details from memory. It involved several children, and

Sarah even asked her own nephew, Sam to recall what he did on a specific night six weeks ago and he seemed very torn about his answer. Sam says, “Not a clue. In school, probably. Umm… actually I think I worked that day. Actually I don’t think I went to school that day.” Then Sam’s friend Elliot says, “I may have gone to the movies that night. I think I saw “22 Jump Street.” I went with Sam, Sean, Carter, a bunch of people.” By conducting this experiment Sarah was trying to show how it is very hard to remember events from days or even weeks before, especially if it is an ordinary day and there is nothing significant to remember like a big test, or a
I really enjoyed this video. It's crazy the amount of informaton that gets packed into a three minute video. I think the cartoon and music that accompanies it helps because you're being entertained as well as informed. I think it's easier for me to remember a fun fact from the video versus reading a whole chapter from a book.
The reason these tapes are just as popular as they were twenty years ago is that children are more likely to learn if they are entertained at the same time. Now that these tapes have been released for a new generation of children, it is important that potential buyers see how good they are for kids. These tapes make any lesson easy. They base their way of teaching by repetition and even if you watch them only once, you are bound to pick up a thing or two.
The first one was that kids lack the machinery for this. A lot of things have to be put to a motion for a memory to be created in the brain. Another one is that kids lack any kind narrative or vocab to describe an event. Kids also go through shredding or neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is the process of making new neurons and this can disrupt circuits in the brain that make them forget things. Also, it is easy for kids to get their memories mixed up with other people’s memories if it’s similar to an existing memory. The author gives a good example of this situation. “For instance, you meet someone and remember their name, but later meet a second person with a similar name, and become confused about the name of the first person.” As the kids grow up their memory does get better and it becomes less likely for their memory to succumb to these things. Something the author only slightly mentions is her interview with another psychologist named Patricia Bauer. She describes memory like making Jell-O. You take the mixture of Jell-O; pour it into a mold and put it in the refrigerator. The thing about the mold is that it has a hole and all you can hope that it solidifies in the mold before too much of it leaks
He quickly shows everyone a picture of an uppercase Hearn and tells them to try and reproduce it. He then has two women come to the front and sit down and look into a mirror and try to trace it. Neither of them are successful due to mixed messages between their hands and eyes. This activity shows how difficult it is for a child with a learning disability to write. The eighth activity is oral expression. He starts talking very fast, stuttering, and having trouble finding the right words to say to show how a child with a learning disability would respond when asked a question. Most children with learning disabilities have dysnomia, which is a word finding problem. They have problem with their storage and retrieval systems in the brain, which is what makes it difficult sometimes to retrieve or find the right words. For most people talking is associative, meaning they can do more than just talk at one time. But for children with learning disabilities, its cognitive meaning they can just do that at one time. He plays “popcorn” with the participants and asks them to say a sentence that tells a story and relates to the one in front of it. This was associative for everyone, so to make it cognitive and to show everyone what it’s like to be dysnomic, he tells them to do the same thing
The first video that I watched was a typical child on Piaget’s conservation tasks. The boy in the video seems to be 4 years old. There was a quarter test that I observed. When the lady placed the two rows of quarters in front of the boy, she asked him if they were the same amount or different. The boy said that both rows had the same amount of quarters. Next, when the lady then spreads out one row of quarters and leaves the other row as it is, the boy says that the spread out row has more quarters, he says because the quarters are stretched out. The boy is asked to count both rows of quarters; he then says that they are the same amount.
The first student was Nathan, who struggled with phonemic awareness. I was interesting in seeing Nathan’s problems rhyming and how that was how his disability was diagnosed. His disabily was only seen in his written language and did not influence his communication skills. I thought that it was interested in hearing that a student’s avoidance of something that’s hard can be commonly mistaken for attentional issues. While I was watching the video I came up with ideas that I thought that the special education teacher should do with Nathan. Some of my ideas were for Nathan to work on
The idea of whether a memory can be forgotten and then remembered, and the thought of suggesting a memory and then have it remembered are at the heart of the childhood abuse issue. Most clinical psychologists believe recovered memory is rare, although laboratory studies have shown that the memory is usually not accurate and can be influenced by outside factors. This issue has not been directly studied since researchers have not subjected people to traumatic events to test their memory of them. Therefore, it has not been determined if a traumatic event is encoded and stored differently in memory compared to a non-traumatic event. (American Psychological Association, 1995).
The observational learning acquired by children from adults was represented in Banduras bobo doll experiment (1961) An adult model who expressed violent and aggressive behaviour was observed and replicated by children. This experiment involved a video of an adult behaving violently towards a bobo doll to be observed by children. The children were then given the opportunity to enter a room and play with the same bobo doll exhibited in the video. Bandura found that children who observed a video of the adult being punished for the aggressive behaviour towards the bobo doll replicated the aggressive behaviour less than children who observed an adult who got awarded or didn’t get punished for behaving aggressively towards the bobo doll. Consequently
The video’s poor quality and many errors detracted from its credibility and made the information that it was attempting to relay questionable. Correcting the narrator’s monotone voice and close proximity to the microphone could greatly improve the quality of the video. The narrator incorrectly refers to charts as tables while discussing the features of the different parenting styles. The information displayed in the charts lacks consistency as one is an adjective, implying qualitative results, and the other is a noun, implying quantitative results. The video contains many misspellings considering the small amount of text onscreen: impulsvie, dicipline, and apposed. The video incorrectly cites Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as the movie clip
Traumatized children can remember their disturbing experience because they are more vulnerable to trauma than adults. A child's brain is
Learning and memory are fascinating. The world could not function without either. They both are used in many different fashions in a wide variety of places. Learning and Memory have been carefully studied by professionals but are also well known and used by the common people on a daily basis. I am one of those common people, a student who is constantly learning and making the most of my memory. Since enrolling in The Psychology of Learning and Memory class I have come to the realization that I encounter situations in my life that exemplify the very concepts I have studied. I have also learned that it is beneficial to apply the lessons learned in class to my everyday life. Positive reinforcement, learned helplessness and serial recall are a few among many of the learning and memory models that have come to action in my life and in my final reflections surrounding the course.
My experience is working with adolescents who have challenges with behavior. Nevertheless, the eating disorder videos were very educational particularly the ABC world news episode of Regan.
Simcock and Hayne take a look at children’s language skills and their preverbal memories. A common issue with children, called childhood amnesia is when children are often unable to describe events that happened early on in their development (Simcock & Hayne, 2002). To test this childhood amnesia and its relation to language ability, the experimenters met with children around 2 or 3 years old and showed them how to use a magical shrinking machine, a peculiar device with several steps to create the desire function. Each step was an action that experiments hoped the children would later remember. The steps were repeated several times ‘shrinking’ the object smaller every time (Simcock & Hayne,
