Document Summary
On completion of this chapter, students should be able to. Identify the ways that memories do and don"t accurately reflect experiences (text p. 253); Guided imagery- in which therapists ask clients to imagine past events . Hypnotic age regression- in which therapist use hypnosis to return" clients to the psychological state of childhood. Paradox of memory- our memories are surprisingly good in some situations and surprisingly poor in others. Memory illusions- a false memory but subjectively compelling memory. Explain the function, span, and duration of each of the three memory systems (text p. Three man memory systems: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Span- how much information each system can hold. Duration- over how long a period of time that system can hold information. Sensory- tied closely to our experiences, perceptions of the world. It holds these perceptions for just a few seconds or less before passing some of them on to the second system.
