    Study Notes

    Human Memory

    • Encoding: Getting information into memory involves forming a memory code. This often requires attention.
    • Storage: Maintaining encoded information over time is a key focus of memory research.
    • Retrieval: Retrieving information from memory stores. Retrieval strategies vary in effectiveness.
    • Forgetting: When memory lapses. Forgetting can be due to encoding, storage, and retrieval deficiencies.
    • Physiology of memory: The physiological basis of memory is a substantial area of study.
    • Systems and types of memory: Memory systems are often categorized as sensory, short-term, and long-term.
    • Personal Application: Improving everyday memory through techniques such as attention and elaboration.
    • Critical Thinking Application: Understanding the fallibility of eyewitness accounts due to memory distortions and biases.
    • Concept Chart: Concept chart illustrating the different types and processes of memory.
