Working memory
of specific events? Why or why
not?
1. How might culture affect
memory and what you
remember?
2. What is the difference between
proactive and retroactive
interference? Give an example of
each.
3. Would you rather have
anterograde amnesia or
retrograde amnesia? Be sure to
explain what each is and why
you chose your amnesia type.
4. Relate the serial position affect
and primacy and recency to
interviewing for a job or
admission to a college.
5. Discuss how the hippocampus
uses consolidation to lay down
memories.
6. Discuss the ways in which
memories may be constructed
falsely, including
misinformation, eyewitness
recall, children on the witness
stand, source amnesia, and
hypnosis.
7. How might source-monitoring
errors (part of reality monitoring)
influence plagiarism?
8. Develop a plan for ways to
improve your memory to help
you with your studies.
9. If technological advances would
allow it, would you ever want to
intentionally get rid of memories
