  1. Draw a Penny

  2. A Walk Down Memory Lane • Write a few lines about your most powerful personal memory (How old were you, what happened, what did you see, touch, hear, smell, etc.). • Write out the ABC’s. • Explain the steps of a procedure (throwing a ball, making a cake, etc.).

  3. Episodic Memory • Memory of a specific event. • Events that are so significant; flashbulb memory. • Took place in your presence or you experienced it. • Distinctiveness/powerful feelings/places, events.

  4. Semantic (Generic) Memory • General knowledge that you remember (usually don’t remember when you acquired it). • What you learned in school becomes part of your generic memory. • Who was the 16th president? • What liquid makes a car run? • What is your address? • What are the three colors of the American flag?

  5. Implicit (Procedural) Memory • Consists of skills or procedures you have learned. • Once a skill has been learned, it usually stays with us for many years (or a lifetime). • Riding a bike • Throwing a ball • Typing • Playing an instrument

  6. The Three Processes of Memory • The mind is very much like a computer. Both have the same functions: • Encode • Store • Retrieve

  7. Encoding Memories • OTTFFSSENT • Transfer information from the senses (physical form) to psychological formats that can be mentally represented. • Visual Codes - see in the mind as a picture • Acoustic Codes – records letters as series of sounds • Semantic Codes – relating to meaning - mneumonics

  8. Storing Memories • Maintenance of information over a period of time • Strategies for Storage • Maintenance Rehearsal • Repeating over and over • Poor method • Elaborative Rehearsal • Make new information relate to prior knowledge • Organizational Systems • File cabinet • Expands as new information is added

  9. Retrieving Memories • Locating stored information and return it to conscious thought • OTTFFSSENT (as a phrase or semantic) • Context-Dependent Memory • Context of memory is the situation in which the person first had the experience • Meeting a student in the supermarket • Memorizing in different places • State-Dependent Memory • People will remember better when they are in the state of mind in which the memory was first made. • Flooded with similar memories from the same emotional state
