Infant memory works from very early on:
-experiments have been conducted on infants as young as 8 weeks to see if they have a good memory. using mobiles to test the memory of the child when they kick the mobile moves. The results show that the children did remember that the kicking will produce a pleasant result.
-This research is questionable because there is no way to see if children can remember important information. Or when these children come into adulthood if they can remember their important milestones.
-I never knew that children could have a memory until they were a little older and able to walk and talk, Now i know they can.
-I will apply this when i have children and i will try my hardest to create good memories. And i will also challenge my children's minds so that they will become smarter.
-This is connected to chapter reading because Flashbulb memories are mostly created at this younger age.

Eyewitness Research:
- A lot of the witnesses that prosecutors use to help their high profile cases can be false. Sometimes the questions asked are not theoretically relevant, this can sometimes be overlooked by the jury.
-The research is very conclusive.
- I have always realized that some of the questions asked in high profile cases are sometimes in conclusive.
-I want to be a defense attorney in the future so this info. may help me win a case.
-This connects to the book because explicit memory contributes to a lot of false identities and prosecutions.
Brain size may protect from memory loss:
- The hippocampus was proven to help you grow older without the signs of Alzheimer's disease.
-The research will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology 60th Annual Meeting in Chicago which shows that the research must be conclusive.
-I did not know that there were new advances in the prevention or cure of Alzheimer's.
- Hopefully in the future when i grow older this research can let me grow older with a fully intact memory.
- The book refers to the hippocampus as attached to the limbic system structure.
