Abstract
The paper provides an overview of four experiments regarding the phenomenon of flashbulb memories. The paper explains flashbulb memories to be memories that are unusually vivid and never forgotten. The paper includes a discussion of the mechanisms behind their formation and recall, the effects of surprise and strong emotion and whether they should be regarded as different from other memories. The paper concludes that there does not seem to be enough evidence to raise flashbulb memories to a status above that of ordinary memories. They certainly have more emotion involved but, as studies have shown, they are still subject to recall errors.
From the Paper
"Nied wie ska (2004) performed an experiment that tested the effects of knowledge of memory storage on participant's memories, particularly flashbulb memories. In the study 158 psychology students at Jagiellonian University were asked to complete several surveys concerning the September 11th terror attacks, including the place the participant learned of the attack, the way they learned of the attack, what they were doing when they learned of the attack, how they reacted to news of the attack, and how those around them reacted to news of the attack. The students completed the first survey within 3 weeks of the attack."

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of dreams and memories in two dystopian fictions - "Nineteen Eighty Four" by George Orwell and "The Handmaids Tale" by Margaret Atwood. It explains how the use of memories and dreams is a very useful tool which both authors have used in order to reflect the society and the characters within it. The writer discusses how throughout both novels the memories appear to be more vivid and detailed than the dreams, and how this helps the reader to understand events which have occurred to the protagonist. The writer further suggests how the memories represent the past and how it can affect the future, as well as how active the character is in the present. The writer points out that dreams also help Winston and Offred to face memories which are repressed during the day; they are as significant as memories if fewer in quantity. The writer concludes that both dreams and memories allow the reader a greater insight into the minds of the protagonists.
From the Paper
"Throughout '1984' and the 'Handmaids Tale' the need to escape from everyday life is and overwhelming urge, due to the harshly restricted and regimental lives which both protagonists live. Both societies are examples of totalitarian regimes in which the present situation is very different to the one in which they grew up in. In the 'Handmaid's Tale' it appears that the period is that of present day, her memories and dreams therefore range over the period of about thirty years. Starting from the 1970's when she was a child with her mother up to the 21st century in the Red centre. In '1984' Winston's memories cover the same periods of time however the period in which the society is set is not as clear as in the 'Handmaids Tale'."

Research
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Recovered Memories are memories that have been repressed and are recovered at some later date. Often times the event is not recovered until years after it has occurred. According to an article, published by Elsevier Science, recovered memory is not a new phenomenon. (Sivers et al 2002) In fact, it was first discovered during the early twentieth century. The article also explains that there are two schools of thought on the topic of recovered memory. The first school of thought asserts that memories of traumatic events can be repressed and recovered and that the recovered memories can be accurate and clear. The second school of thought asserts that adults with problems simply use the theory of repressed memory to make excuses for their dysfunctional lives."

Examining the Validity of Repressed Memories, 2002.
A paper which explores the role of gender in suggestibility and memory elaboration.
3,228 words (approx. 12.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 93.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The repressed memory controversy has spawned numerous debates in a variety of fields, from clinical psychology to legal studies, from the utility of repressed memory testimony in the courtroom to the nature of memory storage and recall. This paper reviews the research literature around the concept of repressed memories and proposes that, despite its emerging salience as a factor, one area not elaborately researched is the role of gender in repressed memories. The paper proposes an experiment designed to test whether gender may affect the creation of false memories in undergraduates and postulates an outcome based on the hypothesis that the social acceptability of a suggested memory increases how readily participants assimilate new memories (and this can be correlated with gender socialization). The experiment's goal is to work toward understanding the role of gender in the occurrence of repressed memories.
From the Paper
"Given the predominance of repressed memory in females, the problem begs the question: does gender affect cognition? The full answer to that question is complex beyond the scope of this paper, but the general summary is that the evidence is inconclusive. From the popular view, it is generally believed that females are better at certain tasks such as facial recognition, color recollection, emotional recognition, and verbal memory; while males are better at tasks such as visuospatial reasoning, chronology, and number memory. At the same time, despite these persistent stereotypes, the evidence to support them is not conclusive (c.f. Caplan, 1997; Halpern 1986). We can say that there is some evidence indicating females may be more suggestible than males (McFarlane, 2002), which might account in part for of the difference in repressed memory, given that a predominance of clients are in therapy (under the influence of a therapist) at the time of the recovery (Freyd, 1999)."

Memories of Sexual Abuse, 2004.
A discussion of the validity of sexual abuse memories and the differing attitudes towards these in the field of psychology.
897 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how, even though it is believed that some cases of sexual abuse are true and actually took place, others may have just been implanted in the minds of the traumatized victims by their psychiatrist or psychotherapist. It explains how opponents of this view maintain that recovered memories are actually accurate because it is impossible for the medical practitioner to implant false memories. The paper studies both views closely to reach an objective conclusion.
From the Paper
"When a woman comes forth with delayed memories of sexual abuse, her credibility is usually at stake since people doubt delayed recovery of some traumatic experience. The proponents of ?false memory syndrome? maintain that children who have been sexually abuses cannot forget such a traumatic experience and therefore those who come up with delayed memories are victims of FMS (Lego, 1996). FMS or false memory syndrome refers to the case whereby a medical practitioner usually a psychiatrist or psychologist is accused of implanting false memories in the minds of their patients (Kardiner, 1941). This group maintains that memories are very delicate and sensitive to impression and any influence can alter their original form. Contamination of memory occurs when a patient with signs of trauma visits a psychiatrist and during the treatment, the patient is subjected to memory recovery procedures, which can lead to recovery of some kind of trauma that never existed. It is believed this happens because of suggestions made by the psychiatrist during the memory recovery procedure. This is the viewpoint of skeptics who ?argue that the notion of repression is purely hypothetical and essentially untestable, based as it is on unsubstantiated speculation and anecdotes that are impossible to confirm or deny."

Repressed Memories: Real, Imagined, or False?, 2004.

Abstract
This essay looks into the validity of repressed and recovered memories and looks at some of the recent research that has been conducted in this area.
From the Paper
"Repression was considered by Freud to be the most basic and important defense strategy, in which memories too frightening or painful are excluded from an individual's conscious awareness. Although repression is the fundamental concept behind psychoanalysis, it is rarely entirely successful on its own and is often employed with other defense mechanisms to prevent the repressed memories 'breaking through' into consciousness (Erdelyi, 1985). Successful repression of traumatic memories can affect an individual at unconscious, semiconscious and, according to some, physiological levels (Pennebaker & O'Heeron, 1984)."

The Memories that Alienated a Bilingual Child, 2001.
A commentary on Richard Rodriguez' work "Aria: Memories of a Bilingual Childhood" and its relation to Dick Gregory's "Shame".

Abstract
An analysis of the writing style of Richard Rodriguez in "Aria: Memories of a Bilingual Childhood" and how his environment growing up influenced his writing style. The paper presents a close look at the significance of diction, parallelism and personification within this work. The paper concludes with a relation to Dick Gregory's "Shame" with parallels between the two.
From the Paper
"The separation of a child from the masses because of language differences will not produce an identity; rather one must feel accepted to receive an identity. The diction throughout creates a vivid image of insecurity and alienation. Rodriguez effectively gets his position of anti-bilingual education across through the experiences of an innocent, na?ve child. The comparisons of private and public life reflect the contrast between English and Spanish. A thorough and compassionate insight into the past accomplishes the purpose of influencing a supporter of bilingual education to change his mind to the views that being exposed to the dominance of English will lead to success later in life. Rodriguez?s ?Aria: memories of a bilingual childhood? utilizes contrasting diction, parallelism, and personification to convey a melancholy tone of alienation and insecurity towards his own bilingual childhood, which eventually shifts to an acceptance to American society."

Abstract
This essay looks at Tobias Wolff's "Pharaoh's Army: Memories of the Lost War". It uses Susan Sontag's "On Regarding the Pain of Others", and the observations made there interpreting them and applying them to two chapters of this book. The observations deal with the impact of television coverage of war and the audience and the meaning of war photography as interpreted by television.
From the Paper
"This essay uses two chapters from Tobias Wolff's Pharaoh's Army: Memories of the Lost War in order to examine and interpret Susan Sontag's observations in Regarding the Pain of Others on television's portrayal of war and the direct impact that it has had on the way the audience views wars as well as the way television has re-interpreted photographic images of war. In her book, Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag points-out that televised coverage of the war in Vietnam marked a significant change in the way we interpret and remember war. The war in Vietnam is the first time that images of war came to us directly, through television. The audiences were intimately connected with the death and destruction that they saw on TV, becoming almost direct witnesses in the day-to-day events that took place."

Abstract
This essay, written in the first person, is about the writer's maturing attitudes and outlook on life. It reflects how he took so much for granted until he grew up and realized that he should have tried to learn more from his grandmother.
From the Paper
"As a boy, we sometimes let our immediate desires overshadow the more important work that we are here to accomplish. Sometimes we lose track of the things that are most important in life. We sometimes hurt others or ourselves on the path to discovering those things, which are truly most important. The transition from childhood to adulthood always involves encountering old feelings along the road. One of the deepest feelings that we encounter is that of love and relationships. "

"Lower East Side Memories: A Jewish Place in America", 2002.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the role played by the Lower East Side in the development of Jewish culture in the United States. The paper presents the key element in Diner?s argument that the Lower East Side neighborhood represents every aspect of the Jewish experience in America. The paper discusses how the Lower East Side neighborhood emerged as the emblem of American Jewish history and became the vehicle through which American Jews presented themselves
From the Paper
"Diner used a wide variety sources and evidence to support her argument. ?Images of the Lower East Side circulated across New York and around America through words and pictures (157)?. She presents many types of literature for support. Books, poems, newspapers, and magazines, even if the geographic focus was not New York City, still referenced streets or sections of the Lower East Side. ?In representations of Jews in America, the Lower East Side served as the standard of Jewish measurement. A 1980s ?docudrama? about a young Jewish peddler who learned about America and about himself while on the road bore the title West of Hester Street, obviously a big swath of geography (33).? "

WWII Memories and Dilemmas, 2004.
Review of two books about WWII and whether it is better to remember or to forget the Holocaust.

Abstract
This paper discusses the different viewpoints presented in ?Remembering and Forgetting: The Social Construction of a Community of Memory of the Holocaust? by Alan Milchman and Alan Rosenberg and "The Unmasterable Past: History, Holocaust and the German National Identity" by Charles S. Maier. The paper explains Milchman and Rosenberg's position that the best way to never repeat the Holocaust is to never forget it, as well as Maier's position that the best approach is to let Germany move on and not focus on its history because too much of a focus on Germany's past is toxic for the present generation of Germany. The paper then takes a more critical look at Milchman and Rosenberg's arguments for remembering the Holocaust and sides with Maier's view, while citing reasons to support this approach.
From the Paper
"It is difficult to know where one set of dilemmas ends and another begins regarding the Holocaust. First, of course, is the Holocaust itself; Alan Milchman and Alan Rosenberg, in ?Remembering and Forgetting: The Social Construction of a Community of Memory of the Holocaust? expound at length on whether forgetting it or remembering it is the better means to ensure that nothing similar will be perpetrated in future. A preponderance of their evidence?or at least, of their references to what other thinkers maintain on that score?seems to support remembering. Charles S. Maier, on the other hand, seems more inclined toward forgetting it and, not to put too fine a point on it, getting on with it. He makes this clear in The Unmasterable Past: History, Holocaust, and the German National Identity."
