The 3 processes of memory is encoding, storage, and retrieving

Encoding - making mental representations of information so that it can be placed into our memories.

Storing -  Process of placing encoded information into relatively permanent mental storage for later recall.

Retrieving - Process of getting or recalling information that has been placed into short-term or long-term storage.

Sensory Memory - initial process that receives and holds environmental info for several seconds. There’s 2 types of sensory memory: Iconic=visual and echoic=hear.

Short term memory - working memory and holds info for 2-30 seconds.

Long term memory - Process of storing almost unlimited amounts of info over periods of time. There’s 2 types of Long term memory: Explicit/Declarative=Episodic (autobiographical) and Semantic (“textbook learning”), Implicit/Non-declarative=Procedural (“how to” knowledge).

A short-term memory story that I have experienced is when I forgot people’s names shortly after being introduced to them.

A long-term memory story is knowing my way to school since I have to go to school often, it memorizes the way without conscious awareness. It can be called implicit memory.

A long-term memory story I have experienced is when I am taking a multiple-choice exam, I remember the information from long-term memory so I can choose the correct option. This example is called explicit memories.

A memory strategy I use to remember information is called chunking. It’s when you break up long pieces of information into more understandable parts. A tip is to keep the parts that you broke down short. Another tip is to prioritize key information, you should start by identifying the more important information first.

A memory strategy I use to remember information is serial position effect. It is the tendency to recall info that is presented first & last better than info presented in the middle. A tip is to display the most important information at the top and the bottoms and put the least important information in the middle.

Algorithm - A fixed set of rules of procedures that will guarantee a solution
Real-life examples: When my mom talks to me in Korean, sometimes I translate it in my head to English. Another example is when I bake brownies I follow the recipe by step by step

Mental set - Tendency only to see solutions that have worked in the past.
Real life examples: When I was a kid I got confused when a door was meant to be pushed instead of pulling on the door handle because I was used to doing that more than pushing.
Another example is when my iPad had a problem I restarted it and it worked. So every time that problem happens I tend to restart my IPad.

Heuristic - problem solving shortcuts that reduce the number of steps to solving a problem
Real life examples: One example is on tests I work backwards most of the time. Another example is if I don’t understand the word problem in math, I break down the problem down into smaller pieces.

Confirmation Bias - favoring info that conforms to your existing beliefs and discounting evidence that does not conform
Real life examples: When I “feel” that someone is staring at me and I turn my head and see someone is staring. Another example is when we think a referee made a good call when it is beneficial to my own team, but if its against my team, half of the time I would think the referee made a bad call.

In the effects of drawing on memory talks about drawing improves memory. In Cold Calling and Classroom Discussions, states, “and encouraging students to covertly retrieve through cold calling, ought to improve learning from a lesson”

In conclusion memory, thinking, and problem-solving in everyday life in important. Starting off with memory, we use our memory constantly and everyday, it helps us remember things for a long time or short period of time. Thanks to psychologists, there is 2 modes of thinking, convergent thinking and divergent thinking,  and it is important because those 2 modes are how we think in our everyday lives. Lastly, problem-solving happens because we think. Problem solving methods and obstacles help us get through our everyday lives. All of this helps psychologists learn more about human behaviors, how our brains think or how our brain takes in memories and the causes of this.
