Encoding= The process of getting info into the memory system.

Storage= The retention of encoded info in memory over time. 

Retrieval= The process of getting info out of memory storage.]]> 2024-05-06 16:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981943091 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981951288 Types of memory:

Sensory memory= The brief, initial encoding of sensory info in the memory system.

Short-term memory= The part of your memory system that contains info you are consciously aware of.

Long-term memory= The relatively permanent and limitless storehouse of the memory system.]]> 2024-05-06 17:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981951288 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981960186 Short term memory EX:

Yesterday I had a basketball game and we lost. I remember what the score was of the game now, but if someone asked me what the score was in a few days i probably wont remember.]]> 2024-05-06 17:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981960186 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981966232 Long-term memory EX:

Something that I will always remember is the time I ran at the Junior Olympics when my relay team medaled. 

Another long-term memory I have is winning the championship in AHYBA in elementary school.]]> 2024-05-06 17:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981966232 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981974995 One trick I use that helps with memory with things that I know Im going to want to remember, is making up a sort of song or rhythm to whatever im trying to remember since this can help to recall information.]]> 2024-05-06 17:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981974995 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981985417 Another memory trick that can be useful is Creating flash cards to something you want to learn and memorize. Although this method will require some Effortful Encoding, it is a very useful trick.]]> 2024-05-06 17:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2981985417 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984340017 Algorithm: A fixed set of rules or procedures that will guarantee a solution

Real-life Example: During a math test to find the hypotenuse of a triangle the best algorithm to use is Pythagorean Theorem which will guarantee the solution to finding the hypotenuse]]> 2024-05-08 02:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984340017 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984358497 Heuristic:  Problem solving shortcuts that reduce the number the number of steps to solving a problem. 

- Examples: 
- working backwards

- breaking a problem down into smaller parts

Functional Fixedness: The tendency to think of things in terms of their usual functions

Ex: you need to sharpen your knife but all you have is a teacup and no knife sharpener. Except actually you could use the teacup as a knife sharpener.]]> 2024-05-08 03:09:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984375824 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984385276 Mental set: Tendency only to see solutions that have worked in the past

Ex: In a basketball game you do a behind the back pass to your teammate and it works. Next play you decide to do the same thing and now you turn the ball over]]> 2024-05-08 03:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984385276 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984409229 In this article it shows the effects of Drawing on memory.

Studies found that strategies like drawing a picture illustrating a word instead of just writing out the word or making a mental image was more beneficial for memory.


This article suggests that this type of strategy could be implemented into the education system as it has show beneficial effectiveness with memory.]]> 2024-05-08 03:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984409229 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984424460 Spaced practice: An effective strategy for memory that involves spreading out practices rather than cramming them. This strategy is very effective when reviewing course material.

Ex: if you have a final in 4 weeks, instead of studying a day before the exam, study through out the week and spend at least 20 or some minutes each other day since this has shown better results for memorization.

Working Memory: the cognitive system that we use to hold info in our minds while we are consciously using it. 

EX: when you are reading this you are holding onto the words as you are reading in order for this to make sense. 

From this article it showed that space practice leads to greater learning than massed practice is a classroom setting and also that working memory resources are more depleted after massed practice. ]]> 2024-05-08 03:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984424460 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984438852 As we can now see memory is something we need and use everyday. Memory is majorly important since without it, people wouldn’t be able to function. Things like walking, eating, breathing, all come from memory. Also using problem-solving strategies are very important since they can be applied to majority of situations during your daily life. It’s important for everyone to understand the science of thinking and memory since having this understanding can help people benefit more from their memory.]]> 2024-05-08 04:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984438852 ndecook5098 https://padlet.com/ndecook5098/mwfcema6t9o9mnzs/wish/2984441375 I probably listened to this song over 100 times when it first came out
