Overview

What is memory? Does it matter if we forget? Can we strengthen our memory? Memory is being able to recognise people and places - it is essential for all our waking moments, but it is malleable, fallible and open to suggestion.

In this virtual event, our Psychology Lecturer, explains how our memories work, discusses the ‘Seven Sins of memory’ (Schachter 2001), and explores creative ways to investigate and strengthen our memories, such as through the power of music and smell.

Real World Lectures are aimed at both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students interested in studying Psychology.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
