1 Forgetting Forgetting can occur at any memory stage
As we process information, we filter, alter, or lose much of it

2 Forgetting Two Main areas: Encoding Failure Retrieval Failure
Cue Dependant Forgetting: Lack of similar cues to prompt recall Considered by some to be most common form of forgetting “tip of the tongue phenomena”

3 Forgetting as Interference

4 Forgetting Decay The natural deterioration of our brain capacity
“use it or lose it”

5 Forgetting Misinformation Effect
incorporating misleading information into one's memory of an event Pseudomemories (false memories)

6 Forgetting Eyewitnesses reconstruct memories when questioned
Depiction of actual accident Leading question: “About how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?” Memory construction Eyewitnesses reconstruct memories when questioned

7 Forgetting Motivated Forgetting
people sometimes unknowingly revise memories due to discomfort, guilt, denial, etc. Repression defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories (Psychogenic amnesia) involves controversy of false memories as well

8 Memory Issues Amnesia memory loss w/o other memory difficulties
Organic Amnesia Usually the result to brain disease or head injury Psychogenic Amnesia (Repression) Source Amnesia attributing to the wrong source an event that we experienced, heard about, read about, or imagined

9 Memory Issues Alzheimer’s Disease A progressive brain disorder that leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in cognitive abilties

10 Improve Your Memory Use distributed practice Pay attention
Over learn - spend more time rehearsing or actively thinking about the material Make material personally meaningful Encode information in more than one way Use mnemonic devices associate something already stored make up story chunk use visual imagery

11 Improve Your Memory Activate retrieval cues--mentally recreate situation and mood Recall events while they are fresh-- before you encounter misinformation Minimize interference Test your own knowledge rehearse determine what you do not yet know
