Questions We Can Help You To Answer
Paper instructions:
For this written assignment, you are asked to submit a 3-page (double-spaced) paper in APA format that summarizes and critiques the accuracy of how memory is depicted in the movie "Memento".
The objective of the written assignment is to provide an opportunity for you to think actively and independently about the nature of memory, as revealed through experimental research.
Your assignment is to serve as a memory expert who has been called upon to review the movie Memento (2000). Your task is to write a review of the movie that highlights three characteristics of memory that are explicitly depicted in the film (Note: The movie depicts many more than three characteristics of memory; you should choose the three that you would like to write about).
Importantly, for each of the three characteristics you discuss, you should:
- describe the form of memory, the memory process, or the characteristic of memory that is depicted;
- critically evaluate whether the depiction is accurate or inaccurate, stating exactly what the director got right or wrong;
- provide experimental evidence from the literature discussed in class and/or in the readings that supports your evaluation.
