This week, we have learned about a model of memory, the information processing model. In this model, memory is broken down into three steps: encoding, storage, and retrieval. In addition, we learned about another theory that the textbook did not mention by name, the memory systems perspective. In this perspective, memories are broken down into two categories, implicit and explicit.
After we review these theories in class and you have completed the reading of the chapter, consider what you have learned and reflect on strategies you have used in the past to remember things, such as items on a grocery list or information for a test.
To complete this assignment, do the following:
Explain the two theories from this chapter, information processing and memory systems
Provide explanations AND examples for concepts at each level of the information processing model and for each type of memory for the memory systems perspective
Answer the following:
What strategies do you use to remember information?
How can cues from the environment help with memory?
Applying what you have learned this chapter, how can you improve your memory?
