Study Notes
Memory - Retrieval Failure
- Retrieval failure is the inability to recall information that is stored in LTM.
- Retrieval failure is also known as forgetting
- Disuse: "Use it or lose it". If memories are not used regularly they become difficult to retrieve.
- Interference: Existing knowledge can hinder recall
- Decay: Memories fade over time.
- Organic Causes: Physical or physiological issues can cause changes in the brain that impact memory.
- Conscience: A state of self-awareness, where one is conscious of their thoughts and actions and can reflect on them.
- Understanding: The ability to comprehend and make sense of information.
- Knowledge: Information that is acquired through learning and experience.
Memory - Retrieval Cues
- Retrieval cues are stimuli that help recall information from memory.
- Cues can be internal or external.
- Internal cues: Emotions, thoughts, and feelings
- External cues: Sensory information, such as sights, sounds, smells, and tastes.
- Flag words: A word that signals a particular piece of information.
- Mental Picture: A visual representation of information in your mind.
- Chunking: Organizing information into meaningful units.
- Trace: The physical representation of a memory in the brain.
- Develop retrieval practices: Learning to retrieve information by using a variety of strategies.
Craik & Lockhart (1972) - Levels of Processing Theory
- The levels of processing theory suggests that the deeper we process information, the more likely we are to remember it.
- The theory argues that memory is not a single system, but a process that involves multiple levels of processing.
- Levels of processing include:
- Shallow processing: Focusing on the superficial features of information, such as the sound or appearance of a word.
- Intermediate processing: Processing information at a deeper level, by thinking about its meaning.
- Deep processing: The deepest level of processing, where we relate information to our existing knowledge and experiences.
- This theory helps us understand why some memories last longer than others
- The theory helps us understand the importance of elaborative rehearsal, where we process information at a deeper level to improve retention.
Memory Systems
- Sensory memory: The briefest stage of memory, where sensory information is held for a very short period of time.
- Short-term memory: A temporary storage system that holds information for a short period, about 30 seconds, before it is either transferred to long-term memory or lost.
- Long-term memory: The permanent storage system that holds information for an extended period of time. The capacity of this memory is unlimited.
- Encoding: The process of converting information into a form that can be stored in memory.
- Storage: The process of retaining information in memory.
- Retrieval: The process of accessing information that has been stored in memory.
Learning and Remembering
- Learning: Acquiring knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught.
- Remembering: Retrieving information from memory.
- Types of learners: Different individuals learn best in different ways. Some people are visual learners, while others are auditory learners.
- Stimulate test conditions: Creating similar study environments to the test environment, helps with recall.
- Learn beyond mastery: Learning information beyond what is required for a test.
- Previewing: Looking over material before you begin studying, to preview the content.
- Summarizing: Synthesizing information into a concise and clear format.
- Use numerous sensory channels: Using multiple senses when learning, such as seeing, hearing, and touching, enhances memory.
- Learn in your own words: Putting information into your own words, helps with understanding and retention.
Memories Types
- Flashbulb memories: Vivid, detailed, and enduring memories of emotionally significant events.
- Recollection: Retrieving memory from LTM.
- Recognition: Identifying information as familiar or previously encountered.
Information Storage
- Brief sensory storage captures information for a short period, allowing for initial interpretation.
- Elaborative rehearsal connects new information with existing knowledge, enhancing memory storage.
- Information storage in computers is analogous to human memory, utilizing encoding, storage, and retrieval processes.
- Encoding transforms information into a format suitable for storage.
- Recoding involves restructuring information during storage for better recall.
- Retrieval involves accessing stored information.
- The Atkinson-Shiffrin model proposes three memory stages: sensory, short-term, and long-term.
- During Stage 3 of memory, information is retrieved and applied to new situations.
- Learning styles can be leveraged to enhance memory and information processing.
