Document Summary
Attention like a spotlight (certain info. more biologically salient) shifts to short-term. Encoding strategies: more = better! hypothalamus, involved in emotion (not good!) hypothalamus, emotion, connections to limbic system (a lot to do with emotion, paleomammalian brain, understanding significance of world, affective evaluation of things, how you emotionally respond to something cool! ), controls autonomic nervous system (fight/flight), pituitary gland gestalt. Integrate, explain = gestalt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! roped memorization is impoverished encoding only good to regurgitate (bad strategy!) elaborating encoding: integrative, more understanding, can apply to other situations. Levels of processing model ease with which you can retrieve a memory depends on how many and what type of associations you"ve formed around that info. How much meaning? deeper processing = greater amount of neural activity minds structured especially around narrative/stories how we feels about ourselves depends on our story! Trauma, internalized bad story, generates negativity, memories reactivated, strengthened! 80 memorize words in same, 80 in different room (huge diff)
