Someone once said that memory is fascinating because sometimes we forget what we want to remember, sometimes we remember what we want to forget, and sometimes we remember events that never happened or never happened the way we remember them. I want to show you how memory works, why it sometimes fails, and what we can do to enhance it. Based on my recent book \u2013 Memory and Movies: What Films Can Teach Us About Memory (MIT Press, 2015) \u2013 I will provide an introduction to the scientific study of human memory by focusing on a select group of topics that hold widespread appeal. <\/p>\n<p>To facilitate your understanding, I will use clips from numerous films to illustrate different aspects of memory \u2013 describing what has been learned about memory in a nontechnical way for people with no prior background in psychology. Many of us love watching movies because they offer an unparalleled opportunity for entertainment, even if entertaining films are not always scientifically accurate. Still, I believe that we can learn a lot about memory from popular films, if we watch them with an educated eye. Welcome once more. I am looking forward to showing you what movies can teach us about memory.<\/p>\n<p>John Seamon<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Psychology Emeritus<\/p>\n<p>Wesleyan University<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Price: Enroll For Free!<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/memory-and-movies\">View Class<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Language:<\/strong> <\/em>English<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><strong>Subtitles<\/strong>: <\/em>Chinese (Simplified), Greek, Catalan, Korean, English, Spanish, Hungarian<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"background-color:#496d89\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/learn\/memory-and-movies\">Understanding Memory: Explaining the Psychology of Memory through Movies<strong> &#8211; Wesleyan University<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Welcome to Understanding Memory.
