This is a homework assignment for my Psychology course on Memory and learning.
Find a Movie/video clip (1-3 mins)that demonstrate a concept / phenomenom relevant to learning and memory?
My prof used Matrix (what we see is just our neuron firing) and Bourne Idenity(amnesia)for examples.
Hope someone will be able to give me some suggestions. It does not have to be the whole movie relevant to learning and memory, even just a few minutes is good enough. Thank you!!
Could you use a clip from Good Will Hunting when the main character is meeting with several shrinks
I haven't watch that movie before, do you mind telling me exactly which part relates to memory and learning? I tried to find it in youtube, but not sure which part. thanks!
To find a movie or video clip that demonstrates a concept relevant to learning and memory, you can follow these steps:
1. Decide on the specific concept or phenomenon you want to focus on within the realm of learning and memory. For instance, you can explore concepts like encoding, retrieval, forgetting, memory consolidation, or the effects of emotions on memory.
2. Once you have identified the concept, think of movies or video clips that might include scenes related to that concept. You can consider movies that involve topics like amnesia, cognitive processes, brain function, or learning experiences.
3. Use online streaming platforms or search engines to find movies or video clips that are related to your chosen concept. You can start by searching for keywords associated with your concept along with the term "movie" or "video clip". For example, if you are interested in memory consolidation, you can search for "memory consolidation movie clip" or "memory consolidation scene in movies".
4. Read descriptions or watch short previews of the movies or video clips you come across to determine if they contain relevant scenes or concepts related to learning and memory.
5. Once you have found potential movies or video clips, you can watch them to see if they effectively illustrate the concept you are studying. Pay attention to specific scenes or moments that exemplify the concept and take note of the timestamps.
Here are a few movie suggestions that may demonstrate concepts relevant to learning and memory:
1. "Memento" (2000): This film explores anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to create new memories. The protagonist relies on tattoos and notes to remember important information.
2. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004): This movie portrays the process of memory erasure and its consequences on personal identity and relationships.
3. "Inside Out" (2015): Although an animated film, "Inside Out" provides a creative representation of memory formation, consolidation, and how emotions can influence memory retrieval.
Remember to watch the movies or video clips yourself to ensure they align with your topic and capture the essence of the concept you are studying. Additionally, be mindful of copyright laws when using clips for educational purposes.
