There are 3 processes of memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Here are their definitions.

Effortful encoding: learning or storing that requires attention and effort

Automatic encoding: information is taken in and stored without deliberate effort

Retrieval: bringing the memory back/remembering it from long term memory.

Different types of memory:

Sensory memory: a mental representation of how environmental events look, sound, feel, smell and taste.

Short term memory: Short-term memory is storing a small amount of information in your mind and keep it readily available for a short period of time.

Long term memory: Storing and being able to retrieve memories from a long time ago.

One of my short term memories:
I had yogurt, oatmeal, sunbutter and berries for breakfast this morning. I will forget this in 2 days or sooner.

This is a picture of me, my brother, and my grandpa’s dog in Poland for my first and so far only time in Poland. This was very memorable for me because it was my first time there.

When I was little, I used to annoy my dog by putting her in strollers and holding her like a baby. This memory is a long term memory because it happened so long ago and was very memorable.

A way I remember the definition of words off a vocab list is to white out the definition and write it in myself.

Try to remember memories from a certain time or place by putting yourself back in the same emotional state or location as when it happened. This is called state dependent retrieval of a memory.

My brother’s car wouldn’t start a couple weeks ago. We problem solved by getting advice from my dad how to solve the issue. They decided to jump start the car and buy a new battery.

Say you’re taking a test and don’t know an answer. A way to problem solve is to work backwards and cross out the answers you know aren’t right.

Things that happen when you do brain teasers:
-the brain gets activated
-dopamine increases
- neuroplasticity (forming new neuropathways)
-reduces stress

Why do we forget some memories quickly, especially big ones? How do mental processes and emotions impact how long we remember a significant event? Does it have anything to do with psychoanalytic perspectives and blocking out certain memories? Is it interference? Does trama play a role in remembering positive memories?
To figure out why some peoples brains do this, I can conduct an experiment to see if people are more likely to remember positive or negative memories. I can also see if the positive memories they forgot had a negative element to them as well.
The study would use basic research because it would expand the knowledge of memory, not solve a problem.

From the research of cognitive psychology, we know a lot about how our brains remember and understand things. Concepts are things that help us remember memories. They are kind of like filing cabinets. Concepts can be objects, emotions, or people, while prototypes are more specific, best example of a concept.  Since these things help us remember, it is very important that they exist. There are also two types of storing/encoding: effortful and automatic. Effortful encoding requires more effort, while automatic remembering happens on its own. Problem solved also very important in day-to-day life. Without good problem-solving skills, you run into way more problems than you need. Problem solving lets you be more self-sufficient. It’s important to think of good, smart solutions to problems.

1.  Przez twe oczy zielone by Akcent (because of your green eyes): I heard this song at polish parties since I was born. One of the earliest memories I had from this song was at a New Year’s party where the dj told all the girls with green eyes to stand up and scream because this song is about them.
2. Firework by Katy Perry: I vividly remember watching the music video for the first time around age 7, even though it came out a few years before that. It was also very popular when it first came out in 2010 and that’s around the time I started remembering things.
3. Ruda tańczy jak szalona by Czadman (the red head is dancing like crazy):  again, I don’t remember the first time I heard it because I was a baby, but if you’re polish and you don’t know every lyric to this song, what are you doing?
4. Steal my girl by one direction: I was obsessed with this song as a kid and now it’s very nostalgic and fun to me and I still remember the lyrics.
5. I’m just Ken by Ryan gosling: first time I heard this was in the Barbie movie and it didn’t get out of my head for days. Again if you don’t know every lyric, why?
