Improving You Memory By: Adam Bass

Introduction Has anyone ever had trouble remembering someone’s name or forgot where you put something? I will be sharing with you:  How memory works  Some techniques for improving you memory

How Memory Works

Understanding the Components of memory 3 components of memory:  1. Sensory memory  2. Working memory  3. Long-term memory Source: “Improving Your Memory” (2005) by Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern pp6-10

How We Remember: Encoding Encoding - Getting information into long-term memory. Focusing your attention on what you want to remember Source: “Improving Your Memory” (2005) by Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern pp11-18

How We Remember: Retrieval 2 ways to retrieve information from long-term memory: 1)Recognition 2)Recalling  Cues can be triggered when recalling info. It is basically an event, thought, picture, word, sound, etc. that triggers the retrieval of info. from long-term memory. Source: “Improving Your Memory” (2005) by Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern pp11-18

Why We Forget An important part of the memory process is making decisions about what information is good to you and worth the effort to decipher it 1. Some information never gets to your memory bank 2. Memories that enter the memory bank may be overtaken with future similar info. that makes the original memory un-retainable 3. Info. that you are completely new on will be harder to remember 4. Some info. can be remembered once you find the proper cue 5. The way we are influences what and how we remember 6. Some pieces of remembered info. may gather together incorrectly 7. Some memories just go away… Source: “Improving Your Memory” (2005) by Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern pp19-21
