Remember Memory Numbers

Decent Essays
The numbers I was able to remember correctly in my second attempt at the memory game where 0,9,7 3,2,6,3,7,7,4,0. The mnemonic device I used to remember these numbers was the major system. The major system pairs numbers from 0-9 with letters from the alphabet 0–S, Z 1-T, D 2-N 3-M 4-R 5-L 6-G 7-K 8-F, V 9- P, B this system works by incorporating words into remembering numbers. For example for the first three digits I remembered in the memory game 0, 9, 7 I turned them into the word, SPiKe corresponding numbers with letters to make a word, using the major system will supposedly make remembering numbers easier my incorporating words, and sounds into it. In my case the major system somewhat helped me remember the numbers from the memory game

    The memory process is a long one where we first record our information it is retained in our sensory memory before moving to our short term memory or working memory and then brain debates if it is worth it to be moved to long term memory or let it go. When we have sensory memory it is very fleeting either with echoic or iconic memory. Our short term memory only works if the working memory meaningfully encodes or rehearses information. Also, short term memory is limited in capacity and duration and we only remember seven bits of information such as the Magical Number Seven, plus or minus two. Short term memory can only help me remember four information chunks of what I am reading for AP Psych.…

    As exhibited in H.M. and with further research, we have found that the spatial variances are associated with the distinctions between implicit and explicit memory. Implicit memory is the transducing and storing of stimuli that are perceived unconsciously. These memories are also known as learned skills or tasks. Explicit memory is the storage of events and facts (Squire, 1992). Because implicit memory is unconscious and explicit memory is conscious, there are different mechanisms and anatomical locations involved.…

    The primacy effect is when you are able to remember the beginning portion of a set of information better than the middle portion, and the recency effect is the opposite you are able to remember the information at the ending of a list better than the middle portion. There was no evidence of the primacy effect, or the recency effect in my first attempt at the memory game, as I was able to remember both the words, and number from the starting middle, and ending of the list Fairley well with just a few I did not remember in between.

    The hippocampal region of the brain is involved in declarative memories by being the fixed point where information from all senses and cortices of the brain merge to form a memory. All information that enters the brain does not stick in our brain, generally, only information that is salient to us will stay with us through rehearsal. Considering non-declarative memories, the hippocampus is bypassed as non-declarative memories are not based on factual information, rather procedural information. This is proven by asking a patient with anterograde amnesia to learn and perform a task to proficiency. The patient may complete the task at a later time with no memory of learning how to complete said task.…

    As a child in elementary school my favorite time of the day was recess and lunchtime, like any other child in my fourth grade class. I remember learning how to tell time just so I could tell when I was about to be called for bus riders. At lunch my friends would mix their food together and dare each other to eat it, getting all of us at the table in trouble at lunch by Mrs. Cothrin, my fourth grade teacher. My favorite challenge on the playground would be the monkey bars. I liked the monkey bars because you had to hold on to them to get across to the other side without falling.…
