Metamemory: How Does the Brain Predict Itself?

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 16:33:34 +0000

Dr. Alfred W. Kaszniak, Professor and Head, Psychology, presented on March 30, 2010, as the fifth lecture in the University of Arizona College of Science Mind and Body Lecture Series. Dr. Kaszniak’s research program is aimed at increasing our understanding of human brain systems involved in both cognition and emotion.

Our brains recreate past experience, monitor recall efforts, and predict our chances of remembering things in the future. The knowledge we each possess about our own memory, and strategies to aid memory, form what is called metamemory. Studies of persons with impaired metamemory due to neurological illness, along with brain imaging studies of healthy adults making judgments about memory, indicate that the brain systems active in retrieving information are distinct from those that self-monitor memory. Metamemory research is helping build an understanding of a wide range of experiences from tip-of-the-tongue forgetfulness to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

I have a blood clot from my cephalic vein to my subclavian vein, so my picc line has to stay in for several more months until the blood clot dissolves. I also have an infection near the picc line site. This video walks you through the process of changing the dressing. I go twice daily to have the dressing changed (for a month)…This is all part of the Crohn’s but hopefully things will start to change for the better….Enjoy my video and Comment Rate and Subscribe…

UCVlog: Nadia’s Introduction to UCVlog.com

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:41:00 +0000

Hey Everyone! I am joining Dennis as we both found that our mission is so similar that seperately we are doing fine, but together we can do great things. In the IBD community it is important to raise awareness as we all fight each day. So, this collaboration is such a positive force to accomplishing that goal. Some of the information in this introduction video is repeat from some of my past videos but for those of you who do not know me, it gives you a brief glimpse into the life of Nadia and my struggle. When I first became ill, I struggled a lot, not only physically, but emotionally as well, but over the course of the last three years, I have shed a lot of my embarrassment and have opened myself up to being comfortable with myself and my disease. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity, Dennis and the UC community!! An interesting fact I found out the other day was that an elephant eliminates up to 300 pounds of waste a day.. Some days I feel like I run a close second place to the elephant.. Just sayin’ Anyways, Take care and remember, “Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory” ~Norman Vincent Peale

Nadia’s Journey Through Crohn’s Colitis: The Partial Portion; How Illness Effects Choices

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 11:08:02 +0000

Having a chronic illness effects day to day living, but it also impacts decisions we make in our life. These life altering choices that we have to make because illness sometimes robs us of an opportunity, and we are unable to experience things to the fullest extent. This is not a “feel sorry for me” video at all. I am just saying that there are times when, as much as I want to have a full experience, I can’t fully enjoy it because my illness tends to dominate over everything else, and my road to recovery often is interrupted by setbacks that profoundly effect my life. It’s the way it is. But I just can’t help wanting to know what it’s like to have it all BUT I think I appreciate more of what I have because of it. So, it’s double edged, Good and Bad. Do any of you feel that way sometimes?? Let me know. No matter what, life can be wonderful. Comment or Message me anytime. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY! KEEP FIGHTING!!
