i first looked at the process of memory
http://www.simplypsychology.org/memory.html
i found out there are 3 stages of memory.
but from researching this i started thinking about the fallacy of memory and how it can be 100% reliable
3 types of situations can cause memory loss
- disease
- trauma
- neglect
Disease-Related Causes:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Other Dementias
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Trauma-Related Causes:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)/ Concussion
- Stroke: Clot or Aneurysm
- Anoxia and Hypoxia
- Brain Tumor and Masses
- Diabetes
- Transient Global Amnesia
- Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
- Emotional Trauma, including PTSD
- Depression
- Epilepsy
- Adverse Effects of Prescription Drugs
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD)
Neglect-Related Causes:
- Alcohol Abuse
- Smoking
- Drug Abuse
- Stress
- Herpes Encephalitis
- Improper Nutrition
i then wanted to explore why memory is never fully reliable
i looked at the problems of eye witness testimony
then looked at the problems
the idea which most intrests me is ptsd
post tramatic stress disorder
