Hello everyone!

by julia.sung Posted on September 22, 2011

Hello everyone, My name is Julia Sung, this is my second year at Baruch college, and I was born and raised in Queens. I am on the swim team here at Baruch and have been competitively swimming since I was nine years old. I love being active and playing sports, besides swimming, I am also an avid snowboarder. Psychology is not my intended major but I find all the new information I am learning fascinating and can definitely help me in my major. I don’t have a blog of my own or any youtube videos about myself, but I do have a athlete profile for Baruch http://athletics.baruch.cuny.edu/roster.aspx?rp_id=1183&path=wswim. Swimming is my passion and I intend to stick with it for the rest of my life.

"1. What is your reaction to the choices made by the author of this Reflection in terms of which memories they chose to keep and which memories they are discarding. -The author seems very hesitant to believe what other people think of him. It seems like he is very guarded and who he shows to his friends and family doesnt necessarily define exactly who he is. He chooses to keep happy memories that involve both family and friends which i agree with. And although he knows he wont like the painful and sad memories he understands that going through those experience made him who he is today. 2. How would you feel if this friend did not remember you (imagining that you are their longtime friend)? -If i were a long time friend of course i would be very upset that he lost all of his memory not just at the fact that he does not remember me. I would probably be more upset that he is hesitant to believe what i say that but i would definitely focus more on getting his memory back that sulking that he doesnt have it. 3. What role might you play in helping them reconstruct their memory? - I would like to think that i would play an important role in getting his memory back. Of course family would be the best help but all of your friends see a different side to you as well and would significantly in the retrieval of his memory. 4. Based on what you’ve learned in class and through your readings, what memory encoding, consolidation, and retrieval techniques might you use or teach to help this person recover and reintegrate their memories? - I think the best way to get his memory back is to show him physical objects of what belonged to him and something that represents something he took part in. Pictures and videos of his past would also be a great way to get his memory back because he cannot dispute what he sees. And lastly if he use to have a hobby he enjoyed, to slowly get him to go back to his hobby would could trigger some memories lost."

"I felt the same way as Vissarion when it came down to the question on which memory would he desire most to keep if he were given the option. It is not important if it an happy, sad, angry, or painful because all of those memories and how we reacted to them made us who we are today. Even if i had to pick and choose which memory i would want much, an abundance of memories would race through my m ind and i wouldnt be able to choose even the most minute memory to discard because it had a big impact on my life. If i were a long time friend i would try to help by showing him memories or what we did together should have pictures or videos. i would also start from the very beginning of how we first met so it would seem as though he never lost his memory. Of course it is natural to feel sad if i knew he did not remember me at all, but i would focus on giving him back his memory so he will remember me from that point on."

"I think this is going to be an interesting research study, however in my option I dont know think you will find a correlation because single parents and their children becoming single parents. Only because there is a huge factor on whether the single parent was a good parent or was not. If the single parent proves to be a great parent the child might become a single parent because they see that it is possible to raise a good child single. However if the single parent was abusive, or just did not care for the child in a good way the child may grow up to believe it is necessary to have two parents raising a child. The only drawback to this study is the time needed to be put into this study. You would have to observe the child and the parents until the child himself or herself will decided to have children on their own. There are no harmful effects to this study."
