  1. The Phenomenon of MemoryChapter 8, Lecture 1 “In large part, you are what you remember.” - David Myers

  2. Memory Memory is the basis for knowing your friends, your neighbors, the English language, the national anthem, and yourself. If memory was nonexistent, everyone would be a stranger to you; every language foreign; every task new; and even you yourself would be a stranger.

  3. The Definition of Memory Memory is any indication that learning has persisted over time. It is our ability to store and retrieve information.

  4. Studying Memory: Information Processing Models Monitor (Retrieval) Disk (Storage) Keyboard (Encoding) Sequential Process

  5. Information Processing The Atkinson-Schiffrin (1968) three-stage model of memory includes a)sensory memory,b)short-term memory, and c)long-term memory. Frank Wartenberg/ Picture Press/ Corbis Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works

  6. Modifications to the Three-Stage Model • Some information skips the first two stages and enters long-term memory automatically. • Since we cannot focus on all the sensory information received, we select information that is important to us and actively process it into our working memory.

  7. Working Memory A newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory

  8. A Demonstration of Memory In your notes, write the names of the seven dwarfs. Some things to consider: • Difficulty of the task – how does this task relate • to encoding, storage, and retrieval? • Tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon – would • additional retrieval cues be of assistance? • Organization of memory by sound, letter, and • meaning – which of these did you use?

  9. A Demonstration of Memory In your notes, write the names of the seven dwarfs. Some things to consider: • Recall versus Recognition – circle the correct • dwarf names from the following list: Grouchy, Gabby, Fearful, Sleepy, Smiley, Jumpy, Hopeful, Shy, Droopy, Dopey, Sniffy, Wishful, Puffy, Dumpy, Sneezy, Lazy, Pop, Grumpy, Bashful, Cheerful, Teach, Shorty, Nifty, Happy, Doc, Wheezy, and Stubby.

  10. A Demonstration of Memory In your notes, write the names of the seven dwarfs. Some things to consider: • Research suggests that the order, from most likely • to least likely recalled, is as follows: Sleepy, Dopey, • Grumpy, Sneezy, Happy, Doc, and Bashful.
