I forgot my……. MEMORY AND LEARNING
SHORT-TERM/WORKING MEMORY Short-term memory is temporary. Any information that receives our attention is processed by our short-term memory. If we pay attention to something else or think of something else the information in the short term memory either disappears or is placed in long-term memory.
LONG-TERM MEMORY 3 Types of Long-Term Memory: Performance or procedural memory~ like how to ride a bike Episodic memory~ based on sensory experiences such as sights, smells, sounds, and tastes Semantic memory~ based on knowledge and concepts that are language based like stories we tell and factual knowledge.
Strategies…. To learn and recall information much later it must be stored in long-term memory. If you develop good strategies for memory, information can be permanently stored in your long-term memory.
Rehearsal and Repeating • slows down the forgetting process and keeps our attention • gives us time to form a lasting impression and commit the information to long-term memory
Chunking or Grouping • It is easier to remember individual bits of information when we group the bits into a pattern • We tend to automatically chunk phone numbers into 2 bits made of 3 & 4 numbers • Our short-term memory capacity is about 7 bits
Organizing • Simplify information to link it to other information in the long-term memory • Create a network of associations and follow the links • This may be how we experience triggered memories “the smell of a summer campfire….”
Looking for Meaning • New learning is most likely to be remembered if you can connect it to something that you already know and understand.
