- Interference from new information
- Emotional state during encoding
- Time gap between encoding and retrieval
- Distractions during encoding
- Poor encoding
Improving Memory
- The key to improving one's memory is:
- Good encoding: involving attention, organization, and repetition during the formation of new memories
- Other ways to improve memory include:
- Repetition and rehearsal
- Organization and structure
- Association with existing knowledge
Semantic Memory
