Memory

Memory

1. Ability to encode, store, retain and recall information and past experiences in the human brain.

2. Basic Processes

   • Encoding
     • Conversion from Stimuli To mental representation
   • storage
     • Retain Data for later use
   • Recall
     • Re-accessing of events or information
       • Short-term
         • limited capacity
       • Long- term
         • unlimited and relatively permanent
       • Sensorial
         • visual and auditory

3. Models of Memory

   • Information-Processing Model
     • Focus on the way information process through stages of memory
   • Levels-of-processing model
     • Focus on the depth of processing associated with specific information
   • Parallel distributed processing model
     • Focus on simultaneous processing of information across multiple neural networks

4. Why do we FORGET?

   • Distributed practice
   • Encoding Failure
   • Memory Trace decay
   • Interference
     • proactive
     • retroactive
