I will then describe a model which gives us a way of conceptionalising working memory, followed by a description of some difficulties of working memory. I will describe studies that link difficulties with working memory to difficulties for dyslexic individuals, and discuss them. 2 DYSLEXIA McLoughlin et al. (2002) proposed a definition based on working memory theory – “Developmental dyslexia is a genetically inherited and neurologically determined inefficiency in working memory, the information processing system fundamental to learning and performance in conventional educational and work settings. It has a particular impact on verbal and written communication as well as on organisation, planning and adaptation to change.” (p.19).
Hippocampus: - responsible for memory forming, organizing and storing, emotions. 1.3 Depression, delirium and age related memory impairment may be mistaken for dementia because the symptoms for these illnesses are very similar to the symptoms with dementia. It is very hard to make a diagnosis of dementia in the early stages due to their being so many other illnesses with the same symptoms. 2.1 The medical model relates to clinical approach. Focusing on the impairment as the problem and will focus on cure.
1.2 Types of memory impairment Whilst long term memory loss is experienced, short term memory loss can cause more problems, although it is not the same in every case. So it might be difficult to remember what happened 5 minutes ago. Other kinds of memory loss might be, difficulty in remembering people or their names, trouble finding words, repeating recent questions and conversations, remembering where things are. 1.3 How individuals process information with reference to the abilities and limitations of individuals with dementia The brain works with chemical signals between neurons. When the neurons get damaged and no longer function efficiently the resulting limitations differ, depending on which side of the brain is damaged.
2) BRAIN DAMAGED STUDIES tells us that certain areas of the brain are used when components of working model are getting used so this tells us that tasks need different parts of the brain so they are really separate systems at work this can be seen by MRI scans. 3) Baddley and hitch: as the working model tells us that if were trying to do two tasks at once they need the same system to do it in the working model then our performance will suffer but if using different parts of the working model then it may work. The weaknesses of the working model 1) Central executive has little support. Most of the
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA Paranoid Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness in which reality is distorted, also known as psychosis; people with Paranoid Schizophrenia cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. Paranoid Schizophrenia is one of the most common diagnosed forms of Schizophrenia; it only affects 1% of the general population, about 2.2 million people. People diagnosed with schizophrenia make up about half of all patients in psychiatric hospitals and may occupy as many as one quarter of the world's hospital beds. People with schizophrenia have problems remembering, paying attention, and communication .Some researchers believe Paranoid Schizophrenia develops as a young child, but major symptoms do not affect the mind fully until
There are several ways CBT aims to do this; one technique getting the patients’ reality-test their hallucinations and delusions. This attempts to show the schizophrenic that their cognitions are incorrect, so they might learn to correct them. Evaluation A positive of CBT is that it puts the power in the hands of patient, as it equips them with what they need to fight schizophrenia. Senksy et al found that CBT was effecting for patients for whom drug treatment hadn’t worked. Also Senksy found it helped with both positive and negative symptoms, and patients continued to improve after the therapy course had finished.
c) Parietal lobe is responsible for sensory information from the body to also where letters are formed putting this in order and spatial awareness. d) Occipital lobe- responsible for processing information related to vision. e) Cerebrum lobe – biggest part of the brain it’s role is memory attention, thought and our consciousness, senses and movement. 1.3 Delirium and age related memory impairment have similar symptoms’ as dementia. Such as loss of communication skills, slow thinking, frequently loosing or misplacing things.
Both from the Past and Present Abstract This paper explores four published articles that report on results from research due to memory. Memory is a very important element when it comes to everyday life, such as how and why we tend to remember certain things and the others that we forget. In these four articles and readings they discuss of the brain works and how memory play a significant role in our lives. This paper examines the research done to relate how the brain works and how it deals with memory loss relationship. This can also have a major effect due to Amnesia, it can affect recollection of experiences occurring either following to the appearance of the disorder, memory loss.113 While the hippocampus and other structures in the medial temporal lobe mediate the consolidation and storage of new memories and that it seems like if some error in memory did occur, it would be in these areas of the brain Keywords: Memory, Amnesia, Hippocampus Struggling to Remember Memories Both from the Past and Present Why is it so difficult to remember?
olution of Cognitive Psychology Evolution of Cognitive Psychology PSYCH/560 Isabelle B. Ragsdale, Ph.D. May 20, 2013 Evolution of Cognitive Psychology Cognitive psychology is a broad subdivision of psychology that relates to the study of mental processes. These mental processes involve the different ways that individuals acquire, obtain, use, and apply information. Cognitive psychology is the focus of an individual daily life and provides an understanding for the way individuals think and behave. Although cognitive psychologists examine behavior to some extent; the main focus is on how behaviors are related to an individual’s mental processes. Although researchers always have been interested in how the mind works, over time cognitive psychology has evolved to become a branch of psychology.
