Nostalgia - a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life to one's home or homeland, or to one family and friends a sentimental yearing for the happiness of a former place or time. (Dictionary.com)
In our lecture we started off by doing a activity basically caroline our lecturer had a shopping list on the board she asked us to look at the list and said try and remember them but don't write them down. She asked us to then write down which of the things that we remembered there were 10 list of things i got 7 out 
of 10 the funny thing was that none of us got 10 out of 10!!!
We also did a music quiz we had to name the brand for example the M&S advert caroline played the ad we were not allowed to look we had to guess which ad the music represented. This ad was the summer one it had alot of memory connected to it for me, it reminded me of summer and gave me a happy feeling, it was interesting to know that people in my class had the same feeling as i did. This ad was using nostalgic triggers which actually worked.
"Learning is the acquisition of knowledge and memory is the storage of internal representations of that knowledge." (Blakemore, 1988)
"Without memory we would be servants of the moment ..... relying on reflexes.... civilisation itself is the ditillation of human memory"

The Memory Process
EXTERNAL INPUTS - ENCODING (information is placed in memory) - STORAGE (information is retained in memory) - RETRIEVAL (information stored in memory is found as needed.
