Understanding Memory: Types and Importance in Education 🧠

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Hi everyone, in this video, I discuss the three types of memory: sensory, short-term, and long-term memory, and their significance in education. I explain how sensory memory captures initial perceptions, while short-term memory serves as a temporary workspace for processing new information. Long-term memory is crucial as it allows for the application of knowledge over extended periods, fostering deeper understanding and strong academic habits. I encourage educators to utilize multi-sensory approaches to enhance retention and learning. Let's work together to build effective strategies that leverage these memory types in our teaching practices.

1. Active Recall

2. Elaboration

3. Partner Activity

Educators should implement active recall activities that allow students to recall new information. For instance, create flash cards with questions on one side and answers on the other. They can also have students quiz themselves, which is a great way to check for understanding. Another example is to create concept maps that promote visual and differentiated learning.

Elaboration benefits learners by offering opportunities to make connections between prior knowledge and new information. Incorporating elaborative assignments like class discussions, informative writing, or narrative writing prompts are effective ways to promote learning.

Partner activities are great work fostering collaborative work, improve memory, and create meaningful connections to lessons. Educators can utilize Think-Pair-Share activities to allow students to brainstorm and share personal experiences with peers.

These three strategies are great for learners who have experienced trauma in their lives and need a place to sort of their feelings while effectively learning. In the process, they begin to reap the benefits of implementation of memory strategies.

Retention is the brain's ability to store and retrieve information over time. It allows learning, remembering, and understanding things around you. Retention occurs as a direct result of learning.

There are many transfers that occur within the brain. Neurons signal other neurons. Also, different parts of the brain communicate and send signals to the rest of the brain and in the process, memories are stored from one channel or stage to the next.

Without retention and transformation occurring in the brain, students would struggle recalling information, connecting prior knowledge with new information, applying knowledge, improved academic performance, and increasing confidence & motivation.

How Does Trauma Affect Memory? | Wellman Psychology

Affects daily life, livelihood, and relationships

PTSD: difficulty recalling information

Trouble remembering or concentrating

Can cause memory loss

Whenever tragedy or trauma occurs, the brain goes in survival mode. It falls into a fight-flight-or-freeze response that triggers changes in the organ.

The amygdala responds by detecting a threat and becomes hyperactive. It tells the rest of the brain that there is an emergency.

Traumatic memories are stored differently, causing the survivor to struggle recalling information.

This can lead to stress, psychological symptoms like PTSD, or strains on both physical and mental health.
