 Review your quiz  Complete the self evaluation: 1.Evaluate what you got correct/incorrect 2.Examine why you got some responses incorrect/partial credit (“simple mistake” or “don’t get it”) 3.Identify areas of strength (on quiz or content related) 4.Identify areas of highest priority for review (marked “don’t get it”) 5.Identify areas of review (marked “simple mistake”) SCHEMA ACTIVATOR

1.Encoding – the process of getting information into the brain 2.Storage – retaining (keeping) the encoded information over time 3.Retrieval – the process of retrieving, or getting the information back out  Application: Use these three words to write a sentence (or two) about how you prepare for a test. HOW ARE MEMORIES CREATED?

ENCODING Automatic Happens effortlessly We automatically process: Space – Ex. the location of a word on a page Time – Ex. Remembering order of events during your day Frequency – Ex. The number of times you have done something in a day Effortful Requires attention and effort Encoding is most successful through rehearsal – conscious repetition of new information Spacing effect – we remember info better if we spread rehearsal over time Serial position effect – tend to recall best the last and first items in a list

 Sensory Memory-  Info from environment over a short period of time; duration under 2 seconds  Fleeting “snap shots” of surroundings  Information you find important shifts to the short term memory  Short Term Memory –  When memory is encoded, reports to short term memory; duration 10 seconds to 2 minutes  Where all “active thinking” occurs  Long Term Memory –  Unconscious, cannot be accessed unless retrieved; duration potentially permanent  Information no longer relevant/meaningful leaves memory system MEMORY MODEL: BASED ON COMPUTER PROCESSING

MEMORY MODEL: GRAPHIC ORGANIZER External Events Short Term Memory Long Term Memory Sensory Memory Sensory Input Retrieval Encoding Attention to Important Information

 At what point are the numbers “sensory memories”?  When first hearing/seeing them  When do they become “short term memories”?  Must “encode” into memory  How would we become “long term memories”?  To ask you to repeat the same numbers at the end of class/next class period/tomorrow  Would need to have “encoded” memory further and would need to “retrieve” it MEMORY TEST
