In a 6-8 page paper, you will summarize and critique the accuracy of how learning and memory
is depicted in the movie Inside Out. You are asked to serve as a memory consultant on the film
for this assignment. You have been assigned to write a review of the movie that highlights three
aspects of learning and memory that are explicitly depicted in the movie.
Importantly, for each of the three topics you discuss, you should:
1. Describe the form of learning/memory, the memory process, or the characteristic of
memory that is depicted.
2. Critically evaluate whether the depiction is accurate or inaccurate, stating exactly what
the director got right or wrong.
3. Provide experimental evidence from the literature discussed in class, peer-reviewed
journal articles you have found, and/or in the readings that supports your evaluation
