Memory reflection

by sung.kim1 Posted on October 28, 2011

For this reflection, imagine that you were unexpectedly struck by a falling object, which caused you to experience retrograde amnesia. As we learned, retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories which occurred before the brain injury. In this case, imagine this accident has caused you to forget all your explicit memories from childhood up until you were struck by the falling object.

Luckily, a medication has been developed to help you recover your memories, but it’s up to you to guide the recovery process.

1. How would you begin the process of recovering your memory? Who would you turn to, where would you search, and how would you proceed?

If I lost all my memories, I would feel frustrated and I would try to recover my memories. In order to recover my memories, I will take medication to calm me down and then I will call my family who knows me best. With my family, I will try to think back to my past days. If I didn’t recall my lost memory easily, I would use hypnotic therapy which enable me to approch memories exist only on my subconscious level.

2. Please describe the emotional journey you imagine you would be going through as you attempt to reconstruct your life. Imagine the feelings you would have.

Loss of memories will make me frustrated and angry. Even though people around me may cheer me up and help to recover my lost memory; however, as time goes by, I may cry in despair of getting back the lost memory. Sometimes, I may have hope I can recover all my memory when I recall a few memories. I don’t know and I cannot describe the emotional journey that I have never experienced, but it is pretty obvious that giving up all memories is hard.

3. Suppose you were able to pick and choose the memories you wanted to recover from your life. What types of memories would you choose to retain and what types of memories might you decide to edit out of your remembered experience? Positive, negative, painful, happy, angry, frightened, etc. Please elaborate and explain some your decision making process.

If I were pick and choose memories I wanted to recover, I would say I will take all. Any memories, even though it is negative one, are my life and history. The positive memories that I’ve experienced will make me happy, but some negative memories make me mature a lot spiritually over my life. Therefore, I cannot give up any memories in my life.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Sung Kim.  I am a lower junior and Accountancy major. I transferred from one of CUNY school, Laguardia CC, a few semesters ago.  I spent my childhood in my home country, South Korea. When I was 19 years old, I moved into New York.  I enjoy my school life with good faculties and friends.

Thank you, all my classmates. See you in class.

I am happy to be here, in Baruch, with you all.

"1. After reading the reflection writer’s description, what do you think was happening to them during the meditation on a physiological level? I think the meditation was really helpful to Courtney because she could be relaxed and comfortable during the meditation and after it as well. However, it was not easy for Courtney to concentrate on the meditation because of Leigh Brasington's voice. Therefore, I guess her anxiety level was 1 or 2 after the meditation. 2.Based on your readings throughout the semester, what areas of their central and peripheral nervous systems may have been effected during the meditation? In the central nervous system, amygdala might be affected by the meditation. The reason is that Courtney had have concerned about her papers and felt nervous before practicing the meditation; however, after the meditation she could be calmed. In the peripheral nervous system, the motor and sensory neurons might be affected by the meditation. While she was sitting with her legs crossed, it was uncomfortable and bothered her; however, the meditation made her not to feel any pain on her knees. 3.What questions do you have for the writer about their experience? Are you still feel comfortable? How much does the meditation influence your papers and the end of semester? Are you going to keep trying the meditation? 4.Based on the description provided, would you be open to trying the same meditation exercise? It seems that meditation requires a lot of energy and time. After meditation, I would be exhausted even though it brings peaceful situation to me. I am not sure that it really works well to me."

"1. What would be your hypothesis of the study’s outcome? It is helpful to eat breakfast for students, physically and emotinally, in their school life. 2. What suggestions do you have for the researcher on how to improve or adjust the proposed study? Observing students who eat breakfast and who do not eat breakfast and analyzing them based on the data will be a good one. 3. Are there any drawbacks or potential harmful impacts of this research design (or results?) Survey method looks like and sounds like a suitable one in this research. However, Survey can lead difficulties to measure relationship between students and their performance in school. I think that all students are not always response truly. Then, you cannot trust the data and the research goes wrong way. 4. What would be the NEXT STEP after this hypothetical research study were conducted and presented to the public? Can you propose a replication with a good twist? That’s often how research works and how the field is able to advance. Maybe you can think up a great Follow Up study! You can split the group of students by 3 groups. 1. students who eat breakfast everyday 2. students who do not breakfast at all 3. students who do not breakfast 3~4days per week."
