Sekrety Pamięci: Miejsce-Źródło Witajcie w Sekretach Pamięci! W tym wyjątkowym odcinku, zanurzymy się w świat melancholii, tęsknoty i… podróży w czasie. Odkąd zaczęłam nagrywać cykl "Kobiety z Kiedyś", historie o utraconych miejscach, o zapachach dzieciństwa, o rodzinnych sekretach, spływają do mnie jak rzeka wspomnień. Kawa dla Miłki: https://buycoffee.to/dziennik.zmian piękne wsparcie https://patronite.pl/milkamalzahn Ostatnio, pracując nad zupełnie innym projektem – serią poradników o podróżach – spotkałam Marię. Zapytałam ją o ulubiony kierunek, o miejsce, które ją zachwyciło. I wtedy… otworzył się zupełnie inny wszechświat. Wszechświat wspomnień, emocji, tęsknoty za miejscem, które ukształtowało ją na zawsze. Każdy z nas ma takie miejsce-źródło. Dom rodzinny, ukochany zakątek z dzieciństwa, miejsce pierwszej miłości... To właśnie tam formowała się nasza tożsamość, tam zapuszczaliśmy korzenie. "Tożsamość osobista jest w dużej mierze zbudowana ze wspomnień. Bez nich bylibyśmy jak statki bez kotwicy, dryfujące bez celu po morzu czasu" – pisze Daniel Schacter w "Siedmiu grzechach pamięci". Maria zabiera nas w podróż do swojego miejsca-źródła. Do domu, w którym czas płynie inaczej. Gdzie zapachy, dźwięki, nawet światło mają smak dzieciństwa. Wspomnienia to nie tylko sentymentalna podróż. To również kompas, który pomaga nam nawigować w życiu. Uczymy się na błędach, czerpiemy siłę z dawnych zwycięstw, odkrywamy mądrość przeszłych pokoleń. "Pamięć jest matką mądrości" – mawiali starożytni. Dom rodzinny, w najlepszym wydaniu, to bezpieczna przystań, latarnia morska w życiowej burzy. "Dom rodzinny to pierwsza szkoła życia" – głosił Konfucjusz. Ale to również miejsce, które inspiruje do podróży, do odkrywania świata. Freud w "Pamięci i zapominaniu" napisał: "Pamięć jest nie tylko sposobem na przechowywanie informacji, ale także na ich odkrywanie i interpretowanie." Dlatego zachęcam Was do zaglądania za zasłonę czasu, do odkrywania sekretów własnej pamięci. Mam nadzieję, że historia Marii zainspiruje Was do własnej podróży w miejsce-źródło. Do miejsca, które nadal na Was wpływa, kształtuje Wasze życie. A jeśli spodobał Wam się ten odcinek, możecie wesprzeć mój kanał, stawiając mi wirtualną kawę lub dołączając do grona patronów.

According to current cognitive psychology and neuroscience understanding, our memories are multilayered constructs composed of personal experiences and information acquired from external sources. So, when questioning witnesses about their recollections, it's crucial to understand what those layers are made up of. Is it purely personal recollection? Does it include what they were told by others? Does it include what they were told when their lawyer prepped them for the deposition? Examining the underlying sources or layers of the deponent's knowledge helps identify the individuals and documents that influenced and possibly biased what the witness says.Be sure to click through to our home page if you don't see the complete list of cites in the show notes.

又來到另一次的讀書會分享時間，這一集所導讀的書是The Seven Sins of Memory。 書中提到，我們的大腦在記憶上常犯的錯誤，包括：健忘（transience）、失神（absent-mindedness）、空白（blocking）、錯認（misattribution）、暗示（suggestibility）、偏頗（bias）以及糾纏（persistence），這些也被作者稱為「記憶七罪」。 而本書作者Daniel Schacter，也正是劉軒當年念哈佛的時候，心理系的主任。雖然這本書的確蠻有歷史的，但裡面提到的內容，到今天來看，還是很有意思，也提到了很多引人入勝的案例，劉軒自己也在節目中分享了很多個人故事。 聽了這集節目後，你可能會懷疑自己記憶的可靠性，但同時，我也覺得這本書告訴我們，我們的記憶可能是創傷的來源，但也有療癒的可能。 ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ ▬ 博客來2022年度暢銷排行榜第3名的《不敗學習力》，千萬別再錯過！ 一手掌握高效學習法

“The primary source of unconscious priming…is your conscious experience.” Our consciousness is where we bring everything together, where we integrate and form a rich integration of our experience. This result is that this experience gets spread out to all the processes of the mind which is pivotal to how priming, an unconscious effect, actually works. John Bargh is a researcher and professor at Yale University and is probably the leading researcher on behavioral priming and has been studying this topic for almost 40 years. Not only that but he is a long term friend of Behavioral Grooves Podcast. In this episode with John, we explore with him both the past and future of priming as well as some of the controversies surrounding it.  “The more important the goal, the more primable it is”   Topics (4:36) Welcome and speed round questions. (7:50) Why priming gets a bad rap. (13:01) What exactly is a prime? (16:17) Where does future research in priming need to go? (19:46) How does priming differ from expectation theory and the placebo effect? (22:33) How is framing not priming? (24:07) What is the summation of experience? (32:02) The stupid reason John went into social psychology. (40:51) What the meta analysis studies on priming have found. (45:50) Science communication: how to tell the good science from the bad.

Daniel Schacter is a professor of psychology at Harvard University who specializes in memory and amnesia. During our conversation, Daniel talks about the evolutionary purpose of human memory, the biological basis of memory, the movie "Memento," the correlation between memory and intelligence, how fMRI technology can help detect false memories, what can be done to improve memory, and he explains the difference between "The Seven Sins of Memory": transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence.Our memories play a crucial role in the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Daniel has spent a career applying reason to the subject of human memory, and his work helps us better understand who we are and what is true.------------Support this podcast via VenmoSupport this podcast via PayPalSupport this podcast on Patreon------------Show notesLeave a rating on SpotifyLeave a rating on Apple PodcastsFollow "Keep Talking" on social media and access all episodes------------(00:00) Introduction(02:06) The path to researching the cognitive neuroscience of memory(07:55) The general consensus about memory during the 1970s and 1980s(12:14) Why memory exists: to preserve experiences, think and reflect, and learn(14:45) Understanding explicit and implicit memory with the example of a patient with Hippocampus damage(18:12) What is episodic memory?(23:49) The movie Memento - anterograde amnesia(29:50) The correlation between memory and intelligence(38:44) The seven sins of memory: transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, persistence.(01:05:55) The link between rumination and persistence(01:13:02) Realizing your memory problems to make better decisions(01:19:41) Using technology to preserve your past meaningfully(01:20:24) What the future holds for memory research

We all wish to have a better memory, yet there are times when it fails us. Until recently, most people, even memory scientists, believed that forgetting served no purpose. However, new research in psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and computer science paints a different picture. It informs us that forgetting is not a failure of our minds. It's not even a benign glitch. It is, in fact, good for us and, alongside memory, it is a required and a separate function for our minds. It benefits our cognitive and creative abilities, emotional well-being, and even our personal and societal health. It appears to be a shortcoming and a failure, but forgetting opens up our minds to making better decisions, it clears up our minds to experiencing joy and relationships. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with Dr Scott Small who explains why forgetfulness is not only natural and normal, but also beneficial. We discuss research that he presents in his book “Forgetting: The Benefits of Not Remembering”. Dr Scott. Small is a physician specializing in aging and dementia and is a professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University, where he is the director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. We start by discussing the working of human memory. I then ask Dr Small to unpack the statement “forgetting something is not a failure of the remembering process; forgetting is an independent feature of the brain managed by the processes that are different from the processes in the brain that manage remembering”. I ask Dr Small to explain the term “normal forgetting”. We then discuss the impact of aging on the brain. We discuss in detail the cutting edge research on Alzheimer's disease and regions of the brain where it attacks. We then discuss the possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease. We also touch upon how to look after our brains as we age. Complement this discussion with "On the Seven Sins of Memory with Daniel Schacter" available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2015/01/on-the-seven-sins-of-memory-with-daniel-schacter/ and then listen to "”On Task: How Our Brain Gets Things Done” with Professor David Badre" available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2021/02/on-task-how-our-brain-gets-things-done-with-professor-david-badre/

Human memory is imperfect – we all misplace our keys, forget acquaintances' names and misremember the details of our own past. Daniel Schacter, PhD, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, discusses why memory is so fallible, the causes and consequences of the most common memory errors, how memory changes as we age, and how memory is tied to our ability to plan for the future.

Updating The Seven Sins of Memory with Dr. Daniel Schacter   Dr. Daniel Schacter, professor and past chair of psychology at Harvard University and world leader in the neuroscience of memory, joins Heidi on the podcast today to provide an update on his now 20 year old seminal work, The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers. Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Schacter has made pioneering contributions that have shaped our understanding of memory, and his work, including over 400 peer-reviewed articles, has garnered numerous accolades, including election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. He has received several awards for his research, including the Warren Medal from the Society of Experimental Psychologists, Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the American Psychological Association, and he has recently completed an updated 20th anniversary edition about the Seven Sins of Memory that will be published in the fall.   Today, Dr. Schacter begins by sharing what he has learned about memory since he first published his book, reviewing the seven sins, and highlighting his most surprising findings regarding them. He then conducts a masterclass on memory, addressing such topics as Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), the impact of the pandemic, recent media and political messaging, technology, and virtual learning upon our memories, as well as the role memory plays in such complex situations as racism. He also explores memory's role in imagining our future, how its vices can also be virtues, the projects he is most excited about currently, and finishes up by sharing his advice regarding brain and memory health. An undisputed expert in the field, Dr. Schacter has most likely forgotten more about memory than many of us actually know about it, rendering this truly an episode you will not soon forget.   Episode Highlights:   What Dr. Schacter has learned over the past two decades about the ways memory is imperfect The seven sins of memory His most unexpected findings Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), anti-transcience, and the struggles of those who exhibit them How our memories of the tumultuous events of the past year and a half might play out in our lives How media or political messaging after the election or the Capitol Riot might affect memories of those events How the sins of memory play a role in our understanding of, or reaction to, such complex situations as our troubled history with racism How the ubiquitous nature of technology has changed our memory Differences in our memory for things that we did or learned virtually The impact on the memory of having a copious photographic record of your life How the vices of memory can also be virtues Memory's role in imagining our future The role of emotion in memory Techniques we can use to improve memory The projects in his lab that he is most excited about at the moment Dr. Schacter's advice regarding brain/memory health                                             Quotes:   “I was impressed that in looking back over 20 years by how much more we've learned both at the basic science level, and also at the applied level.”                                                           “What really seems to be different about these folks compared to most of us is that they lose information about their personal experiences over time much more slowly

Memories make up an integral part of the human experience. We use them to steer clear of potentially risky or harmful future situations or to even evoke a sense of joy and happiness in the present from reflecting on positive past experiences. They influence our everyday decisions and judgements. But how reliable are our memories? Do we really remember everything exactly the way they happened? Dr. Daniel Schacter, a faculty professor and researcher at Harvard, investigates exactly these types of inquiries. He's one of the nation's top experts in memory, and his book, The Seven Sins of Memory, explains that although we are prone to, and often experience, memory failures, it's exactly how evolution intended. Surprisingly, Dr. Schacter argues that memory may be much more about the future than the past, contrary to what we usually consider memories to be – “of the past”. We discuss false memories and false crime confessions, along with the notion that we construct our memories based on past experiences, current knowledge and beliefs. Listen to all of these riveting topics and more during our conversation.

Memory is essential for forming individual identity, as well as the process of learning. Yet, memory is not without its faults. In this episode of Raw Talk Podcast, we try to understand what memory is, the processes that affect the quality of our memories and the implications of faulty memory on the validity of eyewitness testimonies in the legal system. First we hear from Joey DeGrandis who shares his unique ability to recall specific details of autobiographical events. This rare memory phenomenon, known as Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), provides an opportunity to investigate the brain systems underlying enhanced memory and conversely memory loss.  We then hear from Dr. Amy Finn, an assistant professor at the Department of  Psychology at the University of Toronto, and the principal investigator of the Learning and Neural Development Lab. Dr. Finn discusses memory formation and how the brain and cognitive development constrains and enables learning, using examples, such as the famous case of patient H.M. To better understand the ‘faults in our memory’, Dr. Daniel Schacter, a Harvard University Professor, discusses his work on how memory’s malfunctions may be classified into seven fundamental transgressions or “sins” and describes the seven sins of memory errors. Finally, we hear from Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, who shares her experience on how memory may be manipulated and modified by messages, ideas, suggestions and other post-event information.  Dr. Loftus’ memory research has had significant applications to the legal field, given its reliance on memory.  Join us as we put our own memories to the test and learn more about how we remember….and forget, on this week’s episode of Raw Talk.

This rare memory phenomenon, known as Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), provides an opportunity to investigate the brain systems underlying enhanced memory and conversely memory loss.  We then hear from Dr. Amy Finn, an assistant professor at the Department of  Psychology at the University of Toronto, and the principal investigator of the Learning and Neural Development Lab. Dr. Finn discusses memory formation and how the brain and cognitive development constrains and enables learning, using examples, such as the famous case of patient H.M. To better understand the ‘faults in our memory’, Dr. Daniel Schacter, a Harvard University Professor, discusses his work on how memory’s malfunctions may be classified into seven fundamental transgressions or “sins” and describes the seven sins of memory errors. Finally, we hear from Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, who shares her experience on how memory may be manipulated and modified by messages, ideas, suggestions and other post-event information.  Dr. Loftus’ memory research has had significant applications to the legal field, given its reliance on memory.  Join us as we put our own memories to the test and learn more about how we remember….and forget, on this week’s episode of Raw Talk.

We previously discussed how walking backward can strengthen the low back extensor muscles, which can aid in both the treatment and prevention of back pain. According to a study published in the January 2019 issue of the journal Cognition, walking backward (or even watching a video simulating backward motion) may also improve one's memory. The study involved 114 people who participated in experiments focused on recalling images, word lists, and even details from a crime scene. Before the recall stage of each experiment, participants were instructed to walk forward, backward, sit still, watch a video that simulated forward or backward motion, or imagine walking forward or backward. The results revealed that participants performed better in nearly every instance when they either physically walked backward, watched a video that simulated walking backward, or simply imagined doing so. Further analysis revealed that this memory boost lasted an average of ten minutes. While it's unclear how walking backward benefits memory, psychologist Dr. Daniel Schacter of Harvard University hypothesizes that people may associate backward movement with the past, which may trigger a memory response. When a crime has occurred, detectives will perform a cognitive interview with witnesses that involves walking them through the crime. Including a backward walking component to the process may allow witnesses to recall more details about the event, which may help solve the case. Future studies will aim to uncover why this technique improves memory recall and if motion-based memory aids such as this can be applied to patients with cognitive impairments, either from dementia or brain injury. www.PainReliefChiroOnline.com

For this episode, we talked to Daniel Schacter, professor of psychology at Harvard and the author of The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers. Our conversation focused on the three “sins of omission” outlined in his book on memory. The big bad memory sins, in order of badness, are: absent-mindedness, transience, blocking. Tune in for Schacter’s insights on how to remember what you have to remember and forget what you need to forget. ____ Highlights: "We tend to think of memory as being all about the past...But remembering the past has a lot in common with imagining the future." "The most dangerous [of the seven sins] is absentmindedness: absentmindedness is the breakdown at the interface of attention and memory." "The take-home message for everyday life: when you know there's something you want to remember...elaborate on that information. Try to relate it to other things you know." ____ That excellent intro and outro music you heard is by Nico Guiang.

What exactly is a memory? How much do we know about the processes that a human brain executes to store and retrieve a memory? An individual memory may contain different elements such as explicit information, one or many contexts, relevant emotions; does the brain pre-process all individual elements of a memory and then stores this processed memory as one single entity? Or, are different elements of an individual memory stored at different locations in the form of a connected structure or network, and are post-processed at the time of retrieval? In this case what are the chances that during this post processing of different elements of a memory, the retrieved memory gets contaminated resulting in a false memory that reshapes the past? How do non-conscious memories affect and shape our behavior? Daniel Schacter is a cognitive psychologist and is professor of psychology at Harvard University. His research explores the relation between conscious and unconscious forms of memory, the nature of memory distortions, how we use memory to imagine possible future events, and the effects of aging on memory. In this podcast at Bridging the Gaps professor Daniel Schacter shares and discusses cutting edge research on these topics. Research shows, explains Schacter, that the process of remembering and retrieving memories is a constructive activity. He points out that human memory system is not perfect. The system has its shortcomings and we are all affected by memory’s shortcomings in our everyday lives. In his book “Seven Sins of Memory” Schacter systematically classifies various memory distortions into seven basic categories. According to Schacter these seven memory distortion categories are: transience, absentmindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. In this discussion Schacter explains these memory distortions in detail, one by one. He emphasizes that “these memory distortions should not be viewed as flaws in system design, instead these distortions can be conceptualized as by-products of otherwise desirable features of human memory”. Schacter explains this statement. He then discusses the experiments and research studies to measure, estimate and understand these shortcomings of memory. I ask him that can we use the estimates of these seven shortcomings of memory for an individual to gauge the individual’s ability or lack of it to reconstruct memories? If we succeed in developing reliable techniques to make such measurements, these techniques can be used to improve the way we manage, document and process eyewitness testimonies in legal proceedings. Schacter shares his views on this. An interesting point that Schacter highlights in his presentations, and discusses in this podcast is that there is evidence of memory serving the needs of present, and the past being reshaped by current knowledge, beliefs and emotions. He shares his research findings on this. Remembering the past and imaging the future depend on a common network in the brain, known as the Default Brain Network. Shacter describes the Default Brain Network and discusses the research that focuses on the question that how this one network manages these two different processes. Just before finishing our discussion, I ask Daniel Schacter his views on human consciousness and on the question of how brain creates mind. Finally, I finish this podcast by asking Daniel Schacter what are major developments and breakthroughs that he envisages in the field of his research in the near future.

Over a decade ago, I proposed that memory errors can b e classified into seven fundamental categories or "sins": transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence. During the past decade, much has been learned about each of the seven sins, especially as a result of research that has combined the methods of psychology and neuroscience. This presentation will provide an update on our current understanding of the seven sins, with a focus on the sins of absent-mindedness (failures of attention that result in memory errors) and misattribution (when information is mistakenly assigned to the wrong source, resulting in memory distrotions such as false recognition). I will discuss recent research on absent-mindedness that has examined the role of mind wandering in memory for lectures, and will present evidence indicating that interpolated testing can counter such absent-minded lapses. I will also discuss recent research that has clarified both cognitive and neural aspects of misattribution, and consider evidence for the idea that misattribution and other memory sins can be conceived of as byproducts of otherwise adaptive features of memory.
