1 Memory

2 Questions Why do we forget? Is it possible to have a false memory? How can we improve memory?

3 Why do we forget? Failing to remember is not the same as forgetting! Memory involves three processes: – Encoding – Storage – Retrieval

4 Why do we forget? Encoding Issues – Attention – Depth of processing – Chunking

5 Why do we forget? Storage Issues – Transfer from short-term/working memory to long-term memory – Long-term potentiation

6 Why do we forget? Retrieval Issues – Tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon – Interference Proactive Retroactive

7 Misconception Alert! We do not “run out of space” in long-term memory. Knowing more makes it easier to learn new information. Importance of schemas.

8 Is it Possible to Have a False Memory? Misinformation effect Source-monitoring errors Hindsight bias

9 How can we improve memory? Attention during encoding Organization Distributed practice Testing effect State-dependent memory
