I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

We are going to pull from and practice both our short-term memories and our long-term memories. Let’s first start with the here and now (i.e., short-term memory):

1. Visit https://braincurls.com/chch/index.html — To start the Chit Chat “game,” read the text at the top and click on all of the blurred out faces. 
   • You will need to click through each person multiple times as if you are engaging in a conversation with them.
2. Once you have clicked through everyone, click the red button that says “Leave Party.”
   • Follow the instructions and continue clicking next after each set of questions.
3. When you have completed the game, answer the following questions:
   • What was your score in the end? If you went through this multiple times (which you did not have to do unless you wanted to), how did your score change?
   • What was the easiest aspect of completing this game or these questions? Why was that easy for you?
   • What was the most challenging aspect of completing this game or these questions? Why was that easy for you?
   • What kind of memory strategies did you use to try to gain points?

Now, I want you to think back to your childhood (i.e., long-term memories) and answer the following questions/prompts:

1. Describe the earliest memory you have of anything in your life.
2. Do you think you are recalling the actual experience or feelings associated with the experience?
3. Why do you think you remember this? Is it because the events have been retold, captured in pictures, or otherwise been made memorable for you in some way?
