2. Encoding

   • Automatic processing
     • Effortful processing
       • When we put in an effort to remember something
       • Rehearsal
         • Simply repetition
         • Overlearning
       • Spacing effect
         • Space our study out over time
         • Mass practice
         • Distributed study time
         • Testing effect
       • Serial position effect
         • We tend to remember the first and last thing of a list
   • Visual encoding
     • Imagery
     • Hierarchies
   • Acoustic encoding
   • Semantic encoding
     • Mnemonic devices

3. Storage

   • Iconic memory
     • Image that for a moment remains in our eye
   • Echoic memory
     • Sound is very briefly stored
   • Short-term memory
     • Remains information that we're using at the moment (7sc)
   • Flashbulb memories
     • Memories of times of crisis
   • 2 memory systems
     • Explicit memory
       • Consciously recalled memories
     • Implicit memory
       • Memory without conscious recall
       • Hippocampus (in the temporal lobe)
         • Writing new memories
       • Cerebellum
         • Storing implicit memories
