DISSOCIATIVE AMNESIA AP PSYCH MOVIE
In the movie “The Butterfly Effect”, repressed memory is only used half correctly. So although it is stored, there is an error in our retrieval process. The memory does make it through to being stored in long term memory but the brains psychological defence mechanisms prevent it from being retrieved. Although with flaws, the film is effective in expressing the benefits and negatives of repressing a memory.Ī repressed memory is caused by stressful situations, such a being raped or beaten violently. Also the film gives insight to a closer cognitive understanding of why our brain works in certain ways as well as how are emotions are fragile and can destroy us. However, there are flaws in the way that this type of dissociative amnesia is, used but over all repressed memory is the effective psychological state. When Evan is older he discovers that he is able to change what has happened in his past by rereading his journal entries as he changes the past he also alters the future and eventually dooms himself into not ever existing(the director’s cut is different from the theatrical version).
