Memory

The persistence of learning over time through the storage and

retrieval of information.

The Memory Process

Three step process….

1. Encoding: The processing of information into the memory system.

2. Storage: The retention of encoded material over time.

3. Retrieval: The process of getting the information out of memory storage.

Ebbinghaus’ Retention Curve

Encoding Failure:

The next-In-Line effect: we seldom remember what the person has just said or done if we are next, due to being nervous/focused on our answers.

How might I experience this in life?--usually occurs during any icebreaker activity--if you are giving a presentation in class and you know the order of who is presenting, you will be less likely to remember the people before and after you

Spacing Effect

Distributing rehearsal (spacing effect) is better than practicing all at once.

Take out a piece of paper and name all the Presidents…

Encoding Information

• Serial Positioning Effect

• Made up of the:-Primacy Effect-Recency Effect

Serial Position Effect

Serial Position Effect

• People tend to recall the first items (primacy effect) and last items (recency effect) in a list

• Demonstrates how short- and long-term memory work together

• Primacy effect reflects long-term memory• Recency effect reflects short-term memory
