Short-term Memory - the part of your memory system that contains information you are consciously aware of before it is stored more permanently or forgotten
Long-term Memory - the relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system]]> 2024-05-06 16:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981935991 Section 1: Memory Lane mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981947154 Short-term
Today during my math class, we were working on a budget project for buying a house. We decided to buy a house together  because it would be cheaper. We were talking about our salaries and our futures and it was overall fun. The information that we talked about is part of my short-term memory because it was encoded but it has not yet been permanently stored.]]> 2024-05-06 16:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981947154 Section 1: Memory Lane mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981955113 Long-Term
Last summer, my family decided to rent a lake house in Indiana. I invited my four best friends to come along. A few days in, we went on a pontoon boat and when we were about to go back to the house, the boat broke down and we had to call someone to come pick us up from the middle of the lake. This memory has been stored and I am able to retrieve it now almost a year later.]]> 2024-05-06 17:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981955113 Section 1: Memory Lane mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981961877 Long-term
When I was little, we always went to Florida every summer because my family owns a condo in Bonita Springs. One summer, we had many people down there at once and we even had some family friends and my grandparents that were staying nearby. I remember going to our family friend’s hotel that they were staying at right on the beach later at night. We were standing around and all of a sudden a ghost crab comes out of nowhere and walks in the middle of us. Some of us screamed and ran away while others ran after it. I will always remember that trip and all the memories that I made with those people. This is a part of automatic encoding because it did not take effort for me to remember it, I just remember it unconsciously.]]> 2024-05-06 17:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981961877 Section 2: Memory tricks mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981982658 When I am trying to study for something repetition and rehearsal to help keep something in my mind by either writing it multiple times or saying it over and over again.

Sometimes in APUSH I used these to try to remember policies or events that happen to try to more easily be able to recall that information for tests.]]> 2024-05-06 17:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981987855 Section 3: Problem-Solving Strategies mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2981998262 Problem-Solving Strategies: Algorithm
A fixed set of rules or procedures that will guarantee a solution.
 
I use algorithm all the time when do math problems. Whether is simple like adding or multiplying or more complex like equations and systems. This is more reliable as it is following how to actually do something rather than guessing.

Problem solving shortcuts that reduce the number of steps to solving a problem. 

I used heuristic in many different scenarios, usually in math when solving a problem with an equation that I know the answer too. I also sometimes use this in history and break the information down to pieces that might help me find the best answer. ]]> 2024-05-06 17:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2982002714 Section 3: Problem-Solving Strategies mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984215486 Problem-Solving Obstacles: Mental Set
The brains tendency to stick with the most familiar solution to a problem and stubbornly ignore alternatives.

Sometimes when I am sick, I have a tendency to think that it is just a cold because of the cough, sore throat, and stuffy nose when in reality there are other illnesses that it could be. ]]> 2024-05-08 01:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984215486 Section 3: Problem-Solving Strategies mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984247050 Obstacles: Confirmation bias
Favoring info that conforms to your beliefs and discounting evidence that does not conform.

Sometimes when I hear gossip or stories about some people I don’t really trust it unless I have that experience with the person. If I think someone is nice and someone says they aren't nice, I’ll trust what I believe more.]]> 2024-05-08 01:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984247050 Section 4: Memory Masterclass mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984262258 Article: https://www.learningscientists.org/blog/2024/4/26-1
This blog is about the effects of drawing on memory. There was a test on memory to comparing which does better: drawing the word, writing the word repeatedly, or doodling something related. Drawing worked best for remembering.]]> 2024-05-08 02:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984262258 Section 4: Memory Masterclass mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984283254 Article: https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/news/why-forgetting-good-your-memory
This article is about how forgetting things can be good for your memory. The director of the Alzheimer’s Disease (a disease that affects memory) Research Center at Columbia University said that memory lapses are necessary for the function of a healthy brain. Forgetting can benefit the cognitive and creative abilities. Forgetting useless things can help to not interfere with learning. The benefits to forgetting do not apply to pathological forgetting caused by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. ]]> 2024-05-08 02:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984283254 Section 5: Conclusion mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984336505 We use our memory, problem-solving, and thinking skills every day. Whether we are using our imagination to think of new and creative ways to do things through divergent thinking or by using logic and facts to get to an answer through convergent thinking, both of these ways of thinking allows us to get to a solution when we are having problems. We also use different strategies to solve problems. Our brain is able to find ways to solve things through algorithm, heuristics, trial and error, and insight. All of these ways allow us to get through day to day activities and issues we might face. Our memory lets us remember important factors in our life. We are able to remember things in different ways. Sometimes it is not even consciously made (automatic processing) and sometimes it is (effortful processing). Overall, these things make up how humans live in our day to day lives.]]> 2024-05-08 02:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984336505 Section 5: Conclusion (bonus) mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984364317 1. Mine - Taylor Swift - I first listened to this on YouTube and I watched the music video over and over again. I probably first heard over ten years ago by now. I just have always loved the lyrics and the music video and overall the meaning of the song. I’ve heard this song probably a million times so I could definitely sing it fully.
2. You’re Gonna Go Far - Noah Karan - I first listened to this song a few months ago. Admittedly, on TikTok. But this song has always had a place in my heart. I think with the end of high school coming close along with my brother leaving for a few months to travel, it has really hit home. That’s why the lyrics are so clear to me.
3. Dawns - Zach Bryan - I also first listened to this song just a few months ago. I think just the style of music and the lyrics just make it such a good song. I just think some of the lyrics remind me of things so thats why i remember them.
4. Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift - I first listened to this song when I was really little. Probably around the same time as when I heard the song ‘Mine’. The lyrics are just so good to relate to as a girl growing up, especially now in the later years of high school. So the repetition and meaning of the lyrics stick with me. 
5. Hopelessly Devoted to You - Grease - I first listened to this song while watching the movie Grease with my Grandma probably when I was like 7. We would watch this movie so many times together and this entire movie holds a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my Grandma. Since she has passed, I listen to the song every once in a while and I still know the lyrics cause it was our favorite song out of the movie. ]]> 2024-05-08 03:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984364317 mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984371063 2024-05-08 03:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984371063 mtuleo5465 https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984372872 2024-05-08 03:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mtuleo5465/9jbinjq9s8j0uh76/wish/2984372872
