involve information that you only need to recall for a few seconds or minutes.

Short Term Memory

information that is facts or events these are processed, long term memory is durable but changeable

components of the memory based on sight, smell, sound, feeling and tasting.

What is the importance of memory?

The importance of short term, long term, sensory memory in educational learning environments is essential for the teacher to learn how to help their students. When understanding the memory, it helps with building the students. An example like a student with a short attention span, there activities that can be implemented to get them to catch on.

What is the overview of memory? Describe what occurs in the brain when memories are established.

When memory is established it is not stored in a single location in the brain. The sensory components of the memory are triggered like the sight, smell and sound. This is distributed to different areas of the brain, the act of remembering occurs as the brain pieces it back together. When a memory is created it goes into the deep brain structure known as the hippocampus. Then it goes to the amygdala, this is where it flags certain memories as important or emotional. Then the components are distributed to the cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the brain.

What is an overview of memory retention and transfer including their relationship to learning?

Retention of memory is the ability to store information in long term memory. It can be retrieved later while the transfer of memory applies to knowledge or the skills learned in the retention of memory. The way a person explains the information that was learned in a new or different context. This plays a huge role in the learning process because retention is remembering information while the transfer is applying the knowledge.

What occurs in the brain in relation to trauma and memory, including how trauma can affect memory?

When the brain goes through trauma, it makes it harder for the brain to retain memory, gaps in the memory, and a lot of recollections. The amygdala, hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex is affected. When this happens it interrupts the normal process of retaining memory. This could also affect the recollection of the trauma or flashbacks which can cause PTSD.

Describe 2-3 strategies that can be used to improve memory, retention, and/or transfer including learners who have experienced trauma.Discuss how each strategy will be helpful within the context of education.

Short term memory can improve by the consistent use of strategies. It is important to support students with short term working memory capacities by repeating directions, writing down directions, and visual support in the classroom. When this is repetitive the students begin to have a routine. This helps with remembering, even if they forget it becomes second nature.

Long term memory can be improved by implementing strategies. Contextual learning is essential to make learning more relevant and interacting, for example the turn and talk strategy gets the students to engage with peers to discuss the topic. Building background knowledge gives the students a background of the topic as well as a topical way to see what the students already know.

Learners who have dealt with traumatic events. I find that mindful techniques influence memory, focus and cognitive functioning by training your attention to achieve a mental state of calm, along with positive emotions. When it comes to mindfulness it's based on two types of interventions: mindfulness based stress reduction (teaches through yoga and meditation) and mindful based cognitive therapy( treats people with depression). In the classroom both of these techniques can help the student with retention and transfer.
