Memory Cards
FRQ’s
Memory Process Chart
Strategies for Memory Improvement
Outline the principles that underlie effective encoding, storage and construction of memories.
Describe strategies for memory improvement
Describe and differentiate psychological and physiological systems of memory

3. Automatic (Implicit) Processing
Memories that are processed automatically - without us consciously being aware.
You process space, time, and frequency.
Implicit Memories = pieces of information you can automatically recall (knowing your name)
Procedural Memories = remembering the steps to complete a task

4. Effortful (Explicit) Processing
Memories that consist mostly of facts or experiences.
Semantic Memories = memories about knowledge - not linked to personal experiences.
Episodic Memories = memories of previous experiences. Often times the most inaccurate.

5. Practice
In your group of four, create 16 memories (one on each paper square).
Make sure each type of memory is represented. Put answer on back.
Shuffle them up (don’t group them together) 35

6. Memory Basics Encoding: getting information into our brain
Storage: retaining that information
Retrieval: getting the information back.
You are encoding this information in hopes that it is stored correctly and you can retrieve it on a test.

7. Memory Retrieval
Somewhere in your notes, write a list of all the teachers you have had up until last year. See how many you can remember.

9. Strategies for Memory Improvement

10. Chunking Dividing things into smaller groups.
Example: social security number or telephone number.

11. Mnemonics Memory aides - generally organization devices.
Example: ROY-G-BIV or CIPL (Cornea, Iris, Pupil and Lens)

12. Hierarchies
Taking a broad concept and breaking it down into subcategories.

13. Answer this as though it is an FRQ.
Practice
Last night, Carlos’ mom told him he needed to buy milk today. So, he hopped on his bicycle this morning and headed to the corner store to pick up a gallon. Explain how both implicit and explicit memories were used involved in Carlos’ adventure.
Answer this as though it is an FRQ.

14. How is this a good example of an FRQ answer?
Practice Answer
Implicit memories are unconscious and something you can do automatically. Carlos’ ability to ride the bike shows it’s implicit because he was able to complete that task without thinking about it.
Explicit memories are conscious and things that you are aware of. Carlos’ ability to remember to buy milk at the store is an explicit memory because he is remembering a personal experience from his conversation with his mom the previous day.
