Encoding: interpreting information in a meaningful way. 2. Storage: working on information, so that it can be easily remembered. 3. Retrieval: getting information out of the brain. Types of memory Sensory memory holds information received from the senses for a very brief period Sensory memory Short- term memory Long-term memory Short- term memory 1. immediate memory: everything you are thinking of at the current moment. It is very limited. It takes less than one minute to process. 2. Working memory: named “ working” because you really have to “work” on the material to make it meaningful, memorable, and easy to retrieve. must first move the material into the working memory to get it into your long-term memory Long-term memory working memory, it can be moved into long-term memory. storing unlimited amounts of information over a long period of time. Memory Problems: Never really learned it Just reading over information doesn’t guarantee that you will get information into long-term memory.

Cramming Cramming is studying a lot of things in a short period of time. When you do so, you probably won’t have time to store it in an organized way. Stored with too few cues To access a memory, you need to know how to find it. Many times you need a key term, a cue, a label, or a link to the information, to unlock the memory.

There is so much information to learn for college exams and so much complex material you need a great deal of repetition to learn it all. Tips to improve your memory Review regularly. Review your text and lecture information on a daily or weekly basis to keep the information fresh in your memory. Organize the information logically. The more logically you organize the information that you need to remember, the easier it will be to learn it and retrieve it from memory. Organize the information in your study sheets. The more organized the information is when you put it into long-term memory, the more easily you’ll be able to find it when you’re taking an exam. Use your own expertise to aid memory. When information is meaningful, it’s easier to remember. Think of how what you’re learning connects with your own life. Monitor your memory. Many students are frustrated when they can’t remember information during an exam. If this has happened to you, you may not have learned the information “FRS” WORK OF SECTION 2 2024102322
