  1. I forgot my……. MEMORY AND LEARNING

  2. SHORT-TERM/WORKING MEMORY Short-term memory is temporary. Any information that receives our attention is processed by our short-term memory. If we pay attention to something else or think of something else the information in the short term memory either disappears or is placed in long-term memory.

  3. LONG-TERM MEMORY 3 Types of Long-Term Memory: Performance or procedural memory~ like how to ride a bike Episodic memory~ based on sensory experiences such as sights, smells, sounds, and tastes Semantic memory~ based on knowledge and concepts that are language based like stories we tell and factual knowledge.

  4. Strategies…. To learn and recall information much later it must be stored in long-term memory. If you develop good strategies for memory, information can be permanently stored in your long-term memory.

  5. Rehearsal and Repeating • slows down the forgetting process and keeps our attention • gives us time to form a lasting impression and commit the information to long-term memory

  6. Chunking or Grouping • It is easier to remember individual bits of information when we group the bits into a pattern • We tend to automatically chunk phone numbers into 2 bits made of 3 & 4 numbers • Our short-term memory capacity is about 7 bits

  7. Organizing • Simplify information to link it to other information in the long-term memory • Create a network of associations and follow the links • This may be how we experience triggered memories “the smell of a summer campfire….”

  8. Looking for Meaning • New learning is most likely to be remembered if you can connect it to something that you already know and understand.
