Memory processing in dissociation
This project (part of Gwynnevere’s PhD) investigates how the brain works during memory processing in people experiencing dissociation to better understand whether and how it might be different.
In “Functional Imaging of Reality Monitoring” (FIRM-C), participants took a test of reality monitoring (a type of memory ability) while having an MRI brain-scan.
Two groups of participants took part:
people with clinical levels of dissociation,
people with no clinical levels of any mental health difficulty.
We will compare reality monitoring ability and brain activity across these groups. This will help us learn whether reality monitoring ability Is different between the groups, which could help us understand them better.
Watch this space! All data has now been collected and is now being analysed.
