Question I
Let's think about your time in college and apply Conway's model to it. What are the (i) event-specific, (ii) general events, and (iii) lifetime periods that are stored and represented during your (entire) college career? What is your "working self" doing as you progress through your semesters?
Question II
Give three different examples (each) of a time when you have (i) had a feeling of knowing judgement, (ii) an ease-of-learning judgement, and (iii) a judgement of learning. How have you used monitoring, self-regulation, and control of your metamemory in these examples?
Question III
Imagine you are a neuroscientist, and a patient comes to you expressing issues with amnesia symptoms. What questions would you ask to determine which type of amnesia-related disorder the patient might be suffering from?
Question IV
Imagine that you are a police detective speaking with a witness and/or victim of a domestic violence crime. What kind of questions would you ask to ensure that you were getting true memory retrievals and not inducing false memories? Be specific.
Question V
Your friend just had a baby and knows that you have been studying memory in childhood. Your friend is concerned that because their child will be non-verbal for so long, it will be impossible to tell if the child is making memories. What would you tell your friend to look for to ease her worries and prove that her child's infant memory is progressing as it should be? What would you suggest as good practices for your friend to use to strengthen memory development as their child gets older (and communicates verbally)?
