In the last lecture we learned about… ► How memory was first studied. ► Memory testing techniques. ► Different types of memories  Temporal  Content specific

Today, we’re going to discuss how our memories can be erroneous at times. ► Problems with our memories  Interference  Serial order effects  Reconstruction effects ► How to improve our memories  Levels of processing  Encoding specificity  Learning intervals  Mnemonic devices

Let’s Test Our Memories ► We’ll be going over several lists of words. Please follow the instructions and try to the best you can in each activity.

Problems with our memories… ► Interference: a loss of memory accuracy that is due to an overlap of information when trying to recall specific details of lists/events/people.  Proactive interference: new material is lost (not easily stored) due to old material. ► Flowers ► New addresses (zip codes)  Retroactive interference: old material is lost (forgotten) due to new material. ► Fruits ► Specific details about ex’s

Problems with our memories (cont.) ► Serial order (position) effect: the better retention of information/items due to their position in a list of information/items.  Primacy effect: the ability to remember information at the beginning of a list more easily. ► Word lists 1 & 3 (primacy effect) ► Word list 2 (primacy effect removed)  Recency effect: the ability to remember information at the end of a list more easily. ► Word lists 1 & 2 (recency effect) ► Word list 3 (recency effect removed)

Problems with our memories (cont.) ► Reconstruction effect: our tendency to include inaccurate information into our memories in an attempt to “fill in the gaps”.  Reconstructing stories and adding details ► Subway video ► Word list 4 ► Note: This happens a lot more than we think it does!  Creating false memories versus uncovering of forgotten memories ► Freud’s work on repression ► Elizabeth Loftus research (in the text)  Hindsight bias ► “I remember thinking that today would not be my day.” ► “I never really liked him/her much anyway.” ► “I knew we shouldn’t have invested in that company.”

How do we improve our memories? ► Let’s try something out…

Task 1 ► In this task, you’ll see a list of words, remember how many of these words have at least three vowels in them.

Task 1 ► In this task, you’ll see a list of words, remember how many of these words rhyme with the word stack.

Task 1 ► In this task, you’ll see a list of words, remember how many of these words relate to something that you valued from your past.

How to improve our memories (cont.) ► Levels of processing: The deeper you think about something, the more likely you are to remember the information.  More time spent on the information  More retrieval cues are available  More neural connections are formed

How to improve our memories (cont.) ► Encoding specificity: we’re more likely to remember information when we are in a condition that resembles the condition that we were in when we learned the information.  Mood dependency ► Recollection of traumatic events  Situation dependency ► Baddelley’s scuba diving experiment  State dependency ► When you’re using caffeine… ► When you’re using alcohol?

How to improve our memories (cont.) ► Increased learning intervals  Allows for deeper processing  Counteract proactive and retroactive interference  Allow for more encoding specificity opportunities ► Mnemonic devices  THE mnemonic device ► EGBDF ► OCEAN  Chunking ► Phone #’s ► List #1  Information pairings ► List #2  Method of loci ► Grocery Lists

So what have we learned? ► We learned about how our memories can go awry at times. ► We also learned about a few methods that we can use in order to improve our memories. ► We learned that studying memory can be fun!!!
