Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon The Phenomenon of Memory Memory - learning that has persisted over time. Our ability to encode, store, and retrieve information.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Stages of Memory Keyboard (Encoding) Disk (Storage) Monitor (Retrieval) Sequential Process Getting information into memory Retaining information over time Taking information out of storage ENCODING STORAGE RETRIEVAL

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Flashbulb Memory Flashbulb memory - a highly emotional event can cause a clear, strong, and persistent memory.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Information Processing Atkinson-Shiffrin (1968) three-stage model of memory includes a) sensory memory, b) short-term memory and c) long-term memory.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Visual Encoding Mental pictures (imagery) are a powerful aid especially when combined with semantic encoding. Showing adverse effects of tanning and smoking in a picture may be more powerful than simply talking about it.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Long Term Memory Storage takes more time & effort Unlimited capacity Unlimited duration Contains visual or verbal or a combination of codes Retrieval may be troublesome

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Storing Implicit & Explicit Memories Explicit Memory refers to facts and experiences that one can consciously know and declare. Implicit memory involves learning an action, and the individual does not know or declare what she knows.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Reflection Questions What you are thinking right now…..in which level of memory is it being held? How is information stored in long term memory? Why do people forget? What are the possible causes?

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Metacognitive Knowledge Awareness of your own thinking processes –Knowing what you know (declarative knowledge) –Knowing how to use what you know (procedural knowledge) –Knowing when and why to use what you know (conditional knowledge) Planning Monitoring Evaluation

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Differences in Metacognition Developmental differences –Capacity –Strategy –Organization Individual differences –Efficiency –Differences in ability

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Individual Differences in WM Developmental differences –Young children have limited WM –Improves with age –Develop more effective strategies Differences in efficiency

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Mnemonics Imagery is at the heart of many memory aids. Mnemonic techniques that use vivid imagery in aiding memory. 1.Method of Loci 2.Link Method 3.Pegword Method

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Method of Loci List of Items Charcoal Pens Bed Sheets Hammer. Rug Imagined Locations Backyard Study Bedroom Garage. Living Room

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Link Method Involves forming a mental image of items to be remembered in a way that links them together. List of Items Newspaper Shaving cream Pen Umbrella. Lamp

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Pegword Method One is a bun Two is a shoe Three is a tree Four is a door Five is a hive Six is sticks Seven is heaven Eight is a gate Nine is a swine Ten is a hen

A simple mnemonic device is to think of a short story or image that will remind you of what you need to remember. Here you might think of images to help remember functions of different brain areas.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Chunking Organizing items into familiar, manageable unit. Try to remember the number below chunk the number and see if you can recall it easier

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Acronyms HOMES = Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior PEMDAS = Parentheses, Exponent, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract ROY G. BIV = Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Reflection Questions Contrast cognitive and behavioral views of learning. What is learned? What is the role of reinforcement? How does knowledge affect learning? Compare declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge. Give two explanations for perception. How is information retained in working memory?

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Reflection Questions How is information represented in long-term memory? What role do schemas play? What learning processes improve long-term memory? Why do we forget? What are the three metacognitive skills? Describe some individual differences in metacognition.

Copyright © 2004 by Allyn and Bacon Reflection Questions How can using better metacognitive strategies improve children’s memories? Describe three ways to develop declarative knowledge. Describe some procedures for developing procedural knowledge.
