Assessment Instructions

Write a 4-5-page summary of what you learned from three chosen scholarly sources that relate to the memory issue presented in a movie.

Explain how the sources relate to what you learned about how memory functions.

Preparation

To prepare for this assessment, complete the following:

Memory issues are common themes for movies, theater productions, and television shows. Select and view one movie that illustrates an important effect of memory. Some possible choices are Memento (2000), 50 First Dates(2004), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), The Notebook (2004), and Total Recall (1990).

Find at least three scholarly or peer-reviewed sources that address the problem in memory and help you better understand the causes and consequences of the memory issue portrayed in the movie. Think about the accuracy with which the character(s) is portrayed as an individual who has the memory condition.

Research the difference between semantic, episodic, and procedural memory.

Directions

For this assessment, complete the following:

Briefly describe the plot of the movie you selected and the main character(s) involved. Explain why you chose the movie in relation to the memory issue of interest, and how the movie illustrates the memory effect of interest (about one paragraph).

Using the three scholarly sources you found that relate to the memory issue presented in the movie, summarize what you learned from the sources and explain how the sources relate to what you learned about how memory functions.

Taking into account what you have learned about memory, describe what was realistic about the movie's presentation and what inaccuracies you identified. What would you change in the movie to make a more accurate presentation? What type of memory system was dealt with in the movie (semantic, episodic, or procedural)?

Describe and incorporate the relevant scholarship and theories-what is known about the condition and what the problems or unresolved issues are that have yet to be researched-as it relates to the memory condition presented in the movie.
