  3. THINK BACK… • What was common about everyone’s very first memory • Why?

  4. WHAT MEMORY IS! RECONSTRUCTIVE • MEMORYISA ________________________ PROCESS. • Complex information is altered to help us make sense of the material • Can cause errors! • ______________________: the inability to distinguish what you originally experienced from what you heard or were told about an event later SOURCE AMNESIA

  5. SOURCE AMNESIA • EXAMPLE) Mr. Keiper’s Surfing Adventure • Spring Break 2005 – San Diego, California • Several roommates and I went on a surfing trip

  6. THIS IS HOW I REMEMBER IT

  7. AND…

  8. THIS IS HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED

  9. AND, LATER THAT NIGHT AFTER HOURS OF PRACTICE…

  10. Long Term Memory Retrieval Pay Attention! Sensory Register Stimulus Rehearsal Short Term Memory Forget Repetition Forget

  11. SHORT-TERM MEMORY CAPACITY A. As much info. as can be repeated/rehearsed in about 2 seconds. B. 7 +/- 2 items Think about combinations that are 5-9 items long BUT WAIT!...

  12. Short-Term Memory (Working Memory) Chunking • ______________: grouping of info. into meaningful units for easier handling by the STM • Memorize these letters in the next 10 seconds xfbicbsmtvcianbcx x fbi cbs mtv cia nbc x

  13. Long-Term Memory ► Part of memory that is basically permanent and corresponds to everything we “know” ► Info transferred from STM LTM by: Elaborative Rehearsal
