Human Memory
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Many adults do not possess the ability to recall childhood experiences, which social psychologists have termed as episodic or recollective memory. The aspect of selective remembering has been the subject of myriad scientific studies, inasmuch as researchers want to understand more fully the reasons behind childhood amnesia. Adults who cannot remember a great deal of their young past are often prompted by family or friends as a means by which to trigger certain memories; however, studies have demonstrated that merely reminding someone of an event in which he or she participated during childhood is not the same as the individual recalling the event. The writer discusses and analyzes an article pertaining to childhood amnesia. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
