The Holding Cell
Get PDFA thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF FINE ARTS in STUDIO ART from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in Corpus Christi, Texas.The Holding Cell is an experiential space composed of color-shifting lightboxes, ceiling-high isolation chambers, and meditative woodblock prints. The design of the space encourages viewers to linger. In this paper, a mixture of research and storytelling is employed to explore notions of containment, community, and belonging. Language and metaphor are borrowed from cell biology, systems thinking, and graph theory, with emphasis placed on notions of connection and interdependence. These fields supply a wealth of knowledge that can be easily abstracted into personal relevance. The narratives, predominantly from the artist’s childhood, draw from poignant experiences and follow them, thread-like, as they are woven throughout her life and into her work. The Holding Cell is the culmination of this research and self-reflection to date.Art & DesignCollege of Liberal Art
05 Cognitive Psychology: Module 10
No full textModule 10: Memory and Information Processing Theory
Perry woke up for the morning feeling relaxed and refreshed until he looked at the clock. His first class of the day was going to start in 15 minutes! He had forgotten to set his alarm the night before. He jumped out of bed, quickly threw some cloths on, grabbed his backpack, and ran out the door. Fortunately, he arrived to class only a few minutes late. He sat down, pulled out his notebook, and stated feeling around for pencil. Nothing. Perry could have sworn he had put a bunch of pencils in his backpack earlier. What good was his notebook without something to write? Then, he saw one of his classmates pull a pen from the small front pocket of their backpack. Instantly, Perry could vividly remember grabbing a handful of pencils and putting them in the side pocket of his backpack the other day. He unzipped the pocket to find the writing utensils at last. Why did I forget so much this morning? Perry wondered. Why do I remember something one minute, and forget it the next?
“Memory” is a single term that reflects a number of different abilities: holding information briefly while working with it (working memory), remembering episodes of one’s life (episodic memory), and our general knowledge of facts of the world (semantic memory), among other types. Remembering episodes involves three processes: encoding information (learning it, by perceiving it and relating it to past knowledge), storing it (maintaining it over time), and then retrieving it (accessing the information when needed). Failures can occur at any stage, leading to forgetting or to having false memories. The key to improving one’s memory is to improve processes of encoding and to use techniques that guarantee effective retrieval. Good encoding techniques include relating new information to what one already knows, forming mental images, and creating associations among information that needs to be remembered. The key to good retrieval is developing effective cues that will lead the rememberer back to the encoded information. Classic mnemonic systems, known since the time of the ancient Greeks and still used by some today, can greatly improve one’s memory abilities. In this module, we reveal what psychologists and others have learned about memory, and we also explain the general principles by which you can improve your own memory for factual material. You will learn more about the different memory storage systems in more depth in the following chapters
