The self-reference effect shows better results over the semantic method when processing personal information. Processing personal information can be distinguished and recalled differently with age. The older the subject, the more rich and vivid the memory can be due to the amount of information the brain has processed.
Self-referential processing is the cognitive process of relating information, often from the external world, to the self. Self-focus refers to attention directed inwardly, to the self, as opposed to the external world. Rumination is repetitive and distressful form of thinking that can be symptomatic of depression.
self-referential encoding
It involves participants making categorical decisions as to whether or not trait adjectives are self-descriptive. This bias in self-referential processing is also present in individuals who have remitted depression [17], suggesting that negative cognitive biases persist even when symptoms are no longer evident.
A simple way to measure the development of self-reference effects in early childhood is to pair to-be-remembered material with a concrete representation of the self such as a self-photograph (see Cunningham et al, 2014; Ross et al, 2011). This supports children in seeing the to-be-remembered material as self-referent.
In research on the self-reference effect, people are presented with a list of adjectives (e.g., intelligent, shy) and are asked to judge each word given a particular instruction. Some people are told to decide whether each word describes them.
The misinformation effect occurs when a person’s recall of episodic memories becomes less accurate because of post-event information. Essentially, the new information that a person receives works backward in time to distort memory of the original event.
The misinformation effect illustrates how easily memories can be influenced. It also raises concerns about the reliability of memory—particularly when the memories of eyewitnesses (eyewitness testimony) is used to determine criminal guilt.
Enhanced encoding can reduce the misinformation effect (e.g., Lane, 2006; Pezdek & Roe, 1995), as can increasing memory monitoring at test by requiring participants to specify the source of reported details via a source‐monitoring test (e.g., Lindsay & Johnson, 1989).
Examples of the Misinformation Effect When asked the question, ‘How fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?’ the answer typically involved a higher rate of speed than when the question was phrased, ‘How fast were the cars going when they bumped into each other?’
False memories are most likely to be formed when misleading information is provided. The phenom- enon where one reports an inaccurate (i.e., false) memory about an event after being given misleading information is known as the misinformation effect (Ayers & Reder, 1998).
The misinformation effect is a term used in the cognitive psychological literature to describe both experimental and real-world instances in which misleading information is incorporated into an account of an historical event.
For instance, persistence is one of the sins of memory that can lead to things like post traumatic stress syndrome.
We have seen, then, that faith is in itself a form of remembering that mirrors – and over- comes – sin as a form of forgetting. ‘Whatever is not from faith is sin’ (Rom. 14:23).
Micah 7:19 He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our [1] sins into the depths of the sea. I gather that sins acquired under the old Law have been cast into the Sea of Forgetfulness, along with the old Law itself.
Isaiah 43:18 -19 says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
“And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
