  1. PSYCH JOURNAL 8/29/13 What are some things you do to help you remember? When you are studying for a test, what do you do to try to remember the info you need to? Are your strategies effective?

  2. Remember as many items as you can… • Bed • Clock • Dream • Night • Turn • Doze • Mattress • Snooze • Night • Insomnia • Nod • Tired • Night • Artichoke • Rest • Toss • Yawn • Nap • Snore • Pillow

  3. Write down what you remember

  4. Serial-Position Effect • You are more likely to remember the first and last items in a list, and forget the middle stuff. • Primacy effect – remembering the items at the beginning of the list (bed, clock) • Recency effect – remembering the end of the list (snore, pillow)

  5. Frequency • The more we rehearse materials, the more we are likely to remember them. • The word “night” appeared multiple times

  6. Distinctiveness • We remember what is different or unique • “Artichoke” was different than all of the other terms which involved sleep

  7. Organization • When we can organize info into chunks, we remember it better • Toss & Turn

  8. Reconstruction • Did you write down sleep? • Was not in the list. Filled in gaps based on our previous knowledge

  9. Visual Imagery • Visualizing (picturing) things helps people remember • Did you create a bedroom and place the clock, mattress, and pillow in it?

  10. How we remember Tools for improving your memory

  11. Why are some things hard to remember? • Encoding: • Easy – location, time, and frequency (almost automatic) • More difficult – effortful encoding – select main points, label concepts, make associations

  12. Rehearsal • Reviewing or practicing • Maintenance rehearsal – rote (routine) repetition • Elaborative rehearsal – associate new material with material you already know • Elaborative rehearsal is a better memory method

  13. Rehearsal continued • Deep processing – we encode the meaning of something

  14. Mnemonics • Strategies and tricks for improving memory • Effectively encodes, may involve chunking Fall back, Spring Ahead
