Forget your previous conceptions about memory - nest0r - 2010-12-17

"Memory difficulties such as those seen in dementia may arise because the brain forms incomplete memories that are more easily confused, new research from the University of Cambridge has found. The findings are published today in the journal Science.
Currently, memory problems are typically perceived to be the result of forgetting previously encountered items or events. The new research (using an animal model of amnesia), however, found that the ability of the brain to maintain complete, detailed memories is disrupted. The remaining, less detailed memories are relatively easily confused, leading to an increased likelihood of falsely remembering information that was not encountered.
Dr Lisa Saksida, from the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge, said: "This study suggests that a major component of memory problems may actually be confusion between memories, rather than loss of memories per se."

INCEPTION
Well, at least that's what I thought of when I read this post.

In what way? I only watched the movie once so all I know is there was a van falling in slow motion and that guy what should play Nolan's Riddler was doing cool stunts. Also, apparently the soundtrack was composed entirely from an Edith Piaf song: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jul/29/inception-soundtrack-edith-piaf

These are just papers. Honestly I'm not sure why you like them so much. Every day a team of researchers will come up with a new paper, either supporting a previous one, or dismissing it. This stuff is always changing and evolving. It's long and boring to read, and very often has little practical value for today's learner.
This may do this, this may be because of that. May, may may. May day!
This study suggests that...
I'd be more interested in actual software that came out, new devices, gadgets, stuff that works now.

Who hasn't noticed this themselves? I don't think it challenges any conceptions about memory. Confusion between memories is obviously a major factor in memory problems, as is forgetting.
re: Inception. Inception is about inserting memories into dreams, creating a change of attitude or a prominent idea by introducing the perfect simple seed idea which logically results in the desired resulting idea. It's vaguely similar to memory problems results from a confusion between memories (^~~^)?

One of the papers actually came up with a (electronic) study method, then evaluated it for effectiveness and decided it wasn't very good. In the paper was discussed ways the method might be modified in the future.
Access it here; there's a short description of the tool on the page. The author says it is good for checking your progress, just not good for learning.
