3-3’s of Memory 1. Three Kinds/Types of Memory 2. Three Processes of Memory 3. Three Stages of Memory

1). Three Kinds/Types of Memory Episodic Memory: A memory of a specific event Flashbulb Memory: A vivid, detailed memory of a surprising, emotional event

The forest animals have a flashbulb memory of the day when Bambi’s mother was shot.

Episodic Memory Jill Price has perfect episodic memory. Would this be a blessing or a curse? MV538U MV538U

1). Three Kinds/Types of Memory Generic/Semantic Memory: General Knowledge that we have but don’t remember when we acquired it.

1). Three Kinds/Types of Memory Procedural Memory Consists of the skills or procedures we have learned. Often a procedural memory consists of a complicated sequence of movements that cannot be described adequately in words. Once a procedural memory is formed it usually stays with you a long time– perhaps a lifetime.

Many activities require all types of memory. Example: Playing the game of tennis Generic/Semantic Memory: Knowing the rules of the game, knowing how many sets it takes to win. Episodic Memory: Knowing who served last. Procedural Memory: Knowing how to lob or volley the ball

Now you try it. Generic/Semantic Memory: Episodic Memory: Procedural Memory:

PEG is kind! This is a memory cue for the three kinds/types of memory. P =Procedural E =Episodic G =Generic/Semantic Kind =Kinds of Memory

2). Three Processes of Memory  Encoding:  The processing of information into the memory system, for example by extracting meaning.  We can encode information visually, acoustically or semantically. Which method of encoding do you think is the most effective? Which method of encoding do you think is the most effective?

2). Three Processes of Memory  Storage:  The maintenance of encoded information over time. (Keeping it in your memory)

2). Three Processes of Memory  Retrieval:  The process of getting information out of memory.

A library is an analogy of the three processes of memory Encoding: Acquiring the books Storage: Cataloging the books and keeping them on the shelf them on the shelf Retrieval: Making it available to the user

A computer is another analogy Encoding:Storage:Retrieval:

Now you try it. Come up with your own analogy. Be creative! Encoding:Storage:Retrieval:

Draw a picture of a penny

What is a good memory cue to help remember the Three Processes of Memory?

3). Three Stages of Memory  Sensory Memory:  Consists of the immediate, initial recording of information that enters through our senses

Solve the following problem without writing anything down. 765 x 4 x 4

3). Three Stages of Memory  Short-Term/Working Memory:  Holds a few items (7 plus or minus 2) briefly (about 20 seconds) before the information is either stored or forgotten

Figure 9.11 Short-term memory decay Myers: Psychology, Eighth Edition Copyright © 2007 by Worth Publishers

3). Three Stages of Memory  Long-Term Memory:  This memory system is presumed to be without limit, both in capacity to store information and in duration of that which is stored.  In order to get information into long-term memory you must rehearse the information.

4). Ways of Measuring Memory Recognition: Identifying objects or events that have been encountered before It is the easiest of the memory tasks Examples:

4). Ways of Measuring Memory Recall: The learner has to reconstruct the entire stored material stored material Usually yields a lower amount than recognition recognitionExamples:

4). Ways of Measuring Memory Recognition: The learner has to identify the material as something that has been encountered before Is the easiest of the memory tasks Examples:

4). Ways of Measuring Memory Relearning: A procedure for studying memory or retention in which the effort required to learn the material a second time is compared with the effort needed on the initial learning experience. If it takes less time and effort to learn the material a second time, then there must be material that was retained in the memory system Examples:

5) Ways of Improving Memory Drill and Practice (Maintenance Rehearsal) Drill and Practice (Maintenance Rehearsal) Repetition Repetition Examples? Examples? Disadvantages? Disadvantages?

5) Ways of Improving Memory Elaborative Rehearsal: Elaborative Rehearsal: The learner connects the new information to information already stored in the memory system The learner connects the new information to information already stored in the memory system Examples? Examples? Elaborative rehearsal is more effective than maintenance rehearsal for keeping information in long term memory Elaborative rehearsal is more effective than maintenance rehearsal for keeping information in long term memory

5) Ways of Improving Memory Mnemonic Devices: Mnemonic Devices: Catchwords, jingles or phrases to help you recall a particular fact Catchwords, jingles or phrases to help you recall a particular fact Examples: ROY G. BIV (to remember the visual spectrum and descending wavelengths) Examples: ROY G. BIV (to remember the visual spectrum and descending wavelengths)

Other Examples of Mnemonic Devices? HOMES (for remembering the Great Lakes) HOMES (for remembering the Great Lakes) Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey My Very Elegant Mother Just Served Us NOTHING!!! (for remembering the planets and their distance from the sun) My Very Elegant Mother Just Served Us NOTHING!!! (for remembering the planets and their distance from the sun)

Disadvantages of Mnemonic Devices? They may be too time consuming to develop. They may be too time consuming to develop. If you rely solely on the mnemonic device you may make errors. If you rely solely on the mnemonic device you may make errors.

5) Ways of Improving Memory Primacy and Recency Effect: Primacy and Recency Effect: Primacy Effect Primacy Effect The tendency to recall the initial items in a series of items better than the middle items. The tendency to recall the initial items in a series of items better than the middle items. Recency Effect Recency Effect The tendency to recall the last item in a series of items better than the middle items. The tendency to recall the last item in a series of items better than the middle items.

How can you use your knowledge of the primacy and recency effect to maximize the effort you put into your studying?

How can knowing about the primacy and recency effect help maximize the time you spend studying?

There are 3 3/s of memory. They are 3 kinds of memory, 3 stages of memory and 3 processes of memory. There are also 3 ways of measuring memory. The ways you can improve memory are by using the primacy and recency effect, drill and practice (maintenance rehearsal), elaborative rehearsal, and mnemonic devices.
