Forgetting. The loss of information or the inability to access previously encoded information within memory Can be seen as beneficial as it gets rid of.

Memory - fundamental component of daily life - it is the storage of learned information for retrieval and future use.

Forgetting Psychology, Unit 5

Distinguish Decay theory from retrograde amnesia Today’s Objectives Distinguish Decay theory from retrograde amnesia Apply the roles of interference, situational factors, state dependent memories, and the reconstructive process to forgetting and memory recovery Apply the 10 hints to reduce forgetting to your lives

The Biology of Forgetting Decay Theory: passage of time w/o practice causes neurons to degenerate Retrograde Amnesia: inability to recall events just prior to an accident or injury w/ no loss of past or future LTM Thought to be b/c the memories lost aren’t anchored as strong neurons

492-647-3185

Interference is most often caused when learning similar info EX: memorize 636-464-4429 using rote rehearsal and your friend says 4435792451147… Retroactive interference: new info interferes w/ info already in memory Proactive interference: info already in memory interferes with new info

Environmental cues help to prime memories Situational Factors Environmental cues help to prime memories EX: If I light a vanilla candle while teaching you, then light it when you test, you will do better than testing w/o the candle smell

State Dependent Memory Internal cues can help us accurately recall information Memories made while under the influence of a drug might be forgotten and then remembered when under the influence again

The Reconstructive Process We often “rewrite” history and adopt the new version as a factual memory This means many episodic memories are combinations of real and imagined information

Dr. Elizabeth Loftus False Memory

10 Ways to Reduce Forgetting Develop Motivation Practice Memory Skills Be Confident in your Ability to Remember Minimize distractions Stay Focused Use Mental Imagery

Make connections between new material and other information already stored in your long-term memory Use retrieval cues Rely on more than memory alone (ex write things down, etc) Be aware that your own personal experiences may distort your recall of events

Distinguish Decay theory from retrograde amnesia Exit Ticket Distinguish Decay theory from retrograde amnesia Provide an example for a time you experienced: interference, situational factors, state dependent memories, and the reconstructive process A friend needs to remember information for an important test tomorrow. Tell her about the 3 hints to reduce forgetting you would recommend she use!
