CHAPTER 7:

LEARNING AND MEMORY

So, what actually memory is

?

Types of memory

Procedural Memory – stores information on how to do something

Working Memory – aka short term memory

Long-term Memory – stored, permanent

information

Semantic Memory – general information

involving who, what and why

Episodic Memory – information associated

with time and place where memory was

formed

Perceptual Memory – serves to identify objects and structure of language

SHORT TERM LONG TERMS

called “memory for now”contains all that we are working on right now.will be lost after it is used

call true memory or memory for later permanent information made up of both semantic and episodic memory

STAGES OF MEMORY FUNCTIONING

Encoding: Once we come in contact with information to be remembered our brains develop a “code,” which becomes a record of the experience

Storage: This is the ability to hold and effectively store a memory

Retrieval: This refers to the ability to recall the memory needed

How to Improve Your Memory

DON’T SKIMP ON EXERCISE OR SLEEP !! Make time for friends and fun

Bulk up on brain-boosting foods

Mnemonic devices and memorization

Relaxation & Keep stress in

check

Physical exercise increases oxygen to brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss

sleep is necessary for memory consolidation

researchers found that people with the most active social lives had the slowest

rate of memory decline

laughter…seems to help people think more broadly and associate more freely

activates areas of the brain vital to learning and creativity

meditation improve many different types of conditions

if left unchecked, it will destroys brain cells and damages the hippocampus

NUTRITIONAL TIPSGet your omega-3sLimit calories and saturated fatEat more fruit and vegetablesDrink green tea

healthy diet can also

improve memoryVisual image - Associate a

visual image with a word or name Acrostic (or sentence) - Make up

a sentence in which the first letter of each word is part of or

represents the initial

Rhymes and alliteration - Rhymes, alliteration (a repeating sound or

syllable), and even jokes

Chunking - Chunking breaks a long list of numbers or other types of information into smaller, more

manageable chunks

Method of loci - Imagine placing the items you want to remember along a

route you know well or in specific locations in a familiar room or building

Tips for enhancing your ability to learn

and remember

Pay attention

Involve as many senses as possible.

Relate information to what you already

know

focus on understanding basic

ideas

Rehearse information you’ve

already learned

Reasons Why We Forget

1. Retrieval Failure

2. Interferance

3. Failure to Store

4. Motivated Forgetting

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!, aka Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training:

How Old Is Your Brain? is an entertainment video game that employs puzzles. It was

developed and published by the video gaming company Nintendo for the

Nintendo DS hand held video game console.

The hippocampus is a region of the brain that is heavily associated with memory. Because of bilateral symmetry in the brain, both hemispheres contain a hippocampus.

The hippocampus is a horse-shoe shaped area of the

brain that plays an important role in

consolidating information from short-term memory

into long-term memory. It is part of the limbic system, a

system associated with emotions and long-term

memories. The hippocampus is involved in such complex processes as

forming, organizing, and storing memories.
