• Sensory Memory – system that holds sensory information for a brief time period
•Working Memory – information focused on for a given moment
•Long-Term Memory – knowledge that is stored permanently

Sensory Memory
• Capacity is very large and can take in more information than we can handle (Woolfolk, 2007 p.250)
• Perception is assigning meaning on both physical representations from the world and our existing kn

• Three parts - Central Executive – monitoring and
directing attention - Phonological Loop – rehearsal of words
and sounds for short-term memory- Visuospatial sketchpad - holding system for visual and spatial
information

• Declarative knowledge – knowledge that can be declared
• Procedural knowledge – knowing how to do something

Remembering Information
• Mnemonics – strategies build meaning by connecting what is to be learned with words or images
• Loci Method – associating items with specific places
• Acronym – remembering names, phrases or steps by using the first letter of each word to form new memorable words.
• Rote Memorization – remembering by repetition

Forgetting Information
• Decay – weakening and fading of memories with the passage of time
• Interference – process that occurs when remembering certain information is hampered by the presence of other information
Woolfolk, 2007 p.257, 265

Teaching Strategies
• Teach students to:- Read and review- Focus on key information- link new information with previous knowledge
• Use visual aids and model memorystrategies
