Document Summary

Memory: persistence of learning overtime through encoding, storage and retrieval. Recognizing: correctly identifying previously learned information (useful for multiple choice tests) Relearning: it is easier and takes less time to relearn something that has already been learned. (we retain more through repetitive learning) Encoding: information goes into the brain which is then stored. Storage: held in a way that allows it to be retrieved. Reactivating/recalling: bringing back stored information to conscious awareness sensory input from a fleeting environment. 3. information is then encoded into long term memory. Some information is able to bypass short term memory and is able to be processed directly into long term memory. Actively sorting information in short term memory is known as the working memory . Explicit memories: conscious memories that require energy declarative. Implicit memories: automatic skills and classically conditioned skills non declarative. Space: brain automatically encodes the place of a picture on a page.
