Describe strategies for memory improvement

3. Strategies for Memory Improvement
Chunking
Mnemonics
Hierarchies ?
Spacing Effect: Spread studying out over shorter burst over longer time rather than cram
Testing Effect: Rather than re-reading notes. Quiz self with rev Qs, quizlet, flashcards

4. Spaced Practice (Distributed Practice)
Revisiting a topic several times over the course of several days or weeks will help strengthen recall.
Herman Ebbinghaus - researched massed practice (cramming). Quicker acquisition leads to quicker forgetting. Longer and spaced practice leads to higher long term retention.
Moral of the story: crammed all your modules in before a unit test? Good luck remembering that in May. Should have listened to me in September. Yep. Sad day.

5. Make Personally Meaningful
Your ability to apply terms and content to your own life attaches this new knowledge with pre existing knowledge or memories - increasing retrieval!

6. Processing
Shallow processing - encoding that occurs on a basic level. How to say the word, what the letters are etc.
Deep processing - actual semantic encoding. The meaning of the word.

8. Forgetting

9. Memory Failure
Using the Model for Working Memory, guess how someone would forget something using the terms:
Retrieval failure
Encoding failure

10. Encoding Failure
Storage Decay - Remembering less of the initial information after encoding.

11. Retrieval Failure
Proactive Interference - Old information learned disrupts the learning of new information.
Ex: FRQ’s are formatted different in AP Psych than in a previous AP course.
Retroactive Interference - New information disrupts the retrieval of old information.
Ex: You can’t remember how to do an AP Human Geography FRQ, but you can remember AP Psych.

12. Amnesia Anterograde Amnesia - Cannot form new memories 50 First Dates
Retrograde Amnesia - inability to retrieve one's memories
Retrograde Amnesia

13. False Memories
Misinformation effect - incorporate misleading information into one’s memory of an event.
Source amnesia - thinking that an event we have heard about is something we have experienced.
