Document Summary

Lecture 9: all parts of memory seems to involve active processes, encoding: take in the info and form memory code. Storage of memory: retrieval or reenactment of the memory. Encoding (forming memory: role of attention focuses awareness on a range of stimuli or events. Is a filter influenced by many factors like experience and needs: memory is selective, active activity/ we choose what we pay attention to, attention deficit hyperactive disorder. Impulse can influence attention: motivation influences active processing (pizza doorbell). Levels of processing: the more effort applied to memory the more you will remember, we need to actively encode in order to remember, methods of encoding. Structural: read words and draw connections (shapes, design), Enriched encoding: elaboration: linking stimulus to other information at the time of encoding, co-operation and additional associations, visual imagery: second memory code (picture is 1000 words), two memory codes beat one. Sensory memory: the connection between a stimuli and our senses (smell, vision).
