Ii. y acquiring the information, entering it and putting it in there y several ways to encode information. automatic processing, our brain automatically remember and processes information. effortful processing: we are going to put the time, energy and effort into getting the information in. Ebbinghaus: first to study memory scientifically: created nonsense syllables, das - baz xir. The next in line effect: 1 2 3 4 5 6. Spacing effect: instead of cramming two days before the exam and studying everything, study a little each day and just go over them the day before, this makes you better likely to remember the information long term. Testing effect: when you are tested, and re-tested and re-tested on the same material, you are likely to know it better than just studying it. 2. 2: elaborative processing: when you go to study zoom in on the meaning. Semantically: means meaning, put the word in a sentence.
