Psychiatric Disorders Memory And The Future: The Effect Of Anxiety And Depression On Self- Defining Memory And Self-Defining Future Projections, Sarah Irvine
Honors Theses
Prior research has found that depression affects how individuals recall self-defining memories by preventing individuals from properly encoding and retrieving memories, resulting in a suspected inability to recall specific events and information (Conway, 1990). The current study aimed to replicate this finding and to examine whether this phenomenon exists within those with higher levels of anxiety, a concept not previously studied. Fifty-three participants were asked to recall two self-defining memories (Singer & Blagov, 2000) and forty- seven participants described where they saw themselves two years from now in order to determine whether depression and anxiety affect future projections as well …
Reducing Social Demands In Child Eyewitness Memory Using Robot Interviewers, A. Zachary Buchanan
Reducing Social Demands In Child Eyewitness Memory Using Robot Interviewers, A. Zachary Buchanan
Honors Theses
A recent study showed that children's memory for a witnessed event was not impaired when misleading post-event information was presented by a robot interviewer. However, their memory was impaired when the misleading information was presented by a human interviewer, despite the implementation of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Investigative Interview Protocol (NICHD). The NICHD is specifically designed to elicit veridical information from child eyewitnesses, in both human and robot conditions. The proposed explanation for these memory findings is that the social demands inherent in human interviewers were not present in robot interviewers. The current study sought …
Scattered Swirls: Understanding A Fragmented Past Through Embodied Knowledge, Maxine Patronik
Scattered Swirls: Understanding A Fragmented Past Through Embodied Knowledge, Maxine Patronik
Honors Theses
For my Senior Dance Project, which represents the culminating work of the Alonzo King LINES Ballet BFA Program, I created a work of choreography with a chosen cast of five dancers and explored the vast theme of memory. The choreographic process helped me narrow down and identify the specific theme I wanted to explore, namely, the relationship of memory to the physical and moving body. As the piece developed and as I drew more experience from working with my dancers, I became particularly interested in the body as a repository of truth and how the body sustains truthful knowledge over …
The Familiarity Factor: How Semantic Similarity Affects Associative Memory In Older And Younger Adults, Paige Warner
The Familiarity Factor: How Semantic Similarity Affects Associative Memory In Older And Younger Adults, Paige Warner
Honors Theses
The role of semantic knowledge and familiarity on retrieval processes were investigated in a test of the associative deficit hypothesis (ADH), and the data were interpreted from the perspectives of fuzzy trace theory and source monitoring errors (Naveh-Benjamin, 2000). Younger and older adults (N=60) studied pairs of words for two recognition tests – an item test, for recognition of individual words, and an associative test, for recognition of word pairs. In the associative test, four word pairs were presented with a forced-choice response requirement (4AFC; Patterson & Hertzog, 2010). In addition to the studied, intact cue-target pair, three cue-target pairs …
