My Glossary: Physcology Terms

Keeping a Glossary helps to construct information for revisiting in the future; it might as well be a creative methodology that helps to locate a subject matter, or identify materials that could potentially become part of a work. This glossary is the physcology terms that I came across during my research for the Soul Bank project. They would be arranged into a graph at the end of my research:

Retrospective Memory Where the content to be remembered (people, words, events, etc) is in the past, i.e. the recollection of past episodes. Prospective Memory Where the content is to be remembered in the future, and may be defined as “remembering to remember” or remembering to perform an intended action. Multidetermination describes behaviors of any individual which are considered to be influenced by more than one variable such as genetics and environmental factors. Object Permanence (developmental physcology) is a child’s ability to know that objects continue to exist even though they can no longer be seen or heard by developing a mental representation of the object called schema (Originated Greek: skhēma, shape, plan), a category of knowledge about something in the world, e.g. an infant might have a schema for food, which during early infancy will be either a bottle or breast. Emotional Creativity the ability to experience and express original, appropriate, and authentic combinations of emotions. People with a high EC tend to generate original emotional reactions that benefit creativity (Ivcevic et al., 2007). Emotional Intelligence is characterized by the individual’s ability to identify, understand and express, regulate and use their own emotions and the emotions of others (Salovey and Mayer, 1990; Bisquerra and Pérez-Escoda, 2007; Peña-Sarrionandia et al., 2015). The processes of emotional regulation may favor an improvement of thought and enhance creative processes (Gross, 2013; Medrano et al., 2013).
