EDUC 40 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Descriptive Knowledge, Procedural Knowledge, Information Processing
Document Summary
The serial position curve (remembering the beginning and the end but not so much what happened in the beginning) Use that to make sense of new info thats coming in. Primacy---- primer, like the beginning of something. Get rid of what doesn"t make sense. Declarative knowledge : the memory you can tell people about. Procedural knowledge: you know how to do it, don"t even have to think about it, it"s aided by practice. As long as you"re paying attention to it, it stays in your long term memory. Make a new memory, and make it make sense. When to persist and when to let go. A super computer would crash in that instance with a bunch of information but would be better at remembering something like a video compared to your memory. Once something is in your long term memory, it is there forever. What you"ve organized form being in this class is different from the person next to you.
