[Marsha] I was wondering about your experienced memory of past movies. Do you just remember liking, or not liking, or is therea memory and a subtle re-experiencing the associated emotional response? Maybe being an aspect of a pattern? Or an associated and overlapping biological patterns?
What do you think? [Krimel] I seem to retain some memory of what the story line was in general but often can not recall how a movie ended. I usually can remember who was in it and often the directors. I suspect this is because I have a well used and structured pattern of associations with movies. I can also usually recall where I saw it and who I was with. My style of memory is not very visual. Marsha What about actors? They seem to be able to think themselves into all sorts of emotions. That wouldn't be pre-intellectual, or pre-thought. [Krimel] Actors can seek to recall emotional experiences that evoke particular emotions but I don't think that is anything like consciously controlling emotions. They can also get away with mimicking the muscular responses that accompany emotions which is not the same thing at all as consciously controlling the emotions. Some emotions are also impossible to mimic. For example a simple smile can not be consciously faked. In a real smile the muscles around the eyes are control by being routed through certain emotional pathways. In a fake smile these are bypassed.
