Encodings

In essence, everyone lives their lives in the same basic fashion: a constant cycle of encoding and storing new memories, along with the retrieval of old ones. Granted, there are those exceptions to the norm, but in the grand scheme of things they are really the outliers. Now since our brains don’t function like a video camera perfectly capturing every moment of our lives, we have to work earnestly in order to remember every minute detail which is deemed important or necessary. This is where psychological strategies come into play, especially when concerning school affairs. With the goal of improving overall information retention from studying, I can apply specific memory strategies in order to achieve higher grades in college. As…

symbolize and associate it with the sacrifices of the lives lost men and women in service, have put in creating the country we live in. As for Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback of the 49ers, standing for the national anthem represents the idea that the individual takes pride in their country. And, so, Kaepernick chose to “take a stand by kneeling” (Witts) to express his beliefs, create awareness, and protest (Fig. 1). However, his message was misinterpreted by many viewers and took it as him…

There are many ways to study for an exam, but there is one thing for certain, you can’t expect a good mark if you only study once the night before the exam or test. There is a process in which you perform your memory. First being encoding, secondly is storage and lastly is retrieval. Encoding is the first step and the most important. Encoding is the process of getting your information. We have to make sure that the information we use is in the easiest format for our memories to file away.A…

Enriching Encoding Encoding is paying attention to something to remember information through forming memory codes. Enriching encoding is the different ways people adapt to help in forming memory codes. Ways such as Elaboration, which means to connect the new information to our existing schemas. For example, when I read about phobias, I get reminded of my fear of dogs and dentist. Ways also like Visual Imagery where our brains create a mental picture of the word. For example, when people are…

Basic #2 According to the encoding specificity principle, the most important factor for recall is “matching the context in which encoding and retrieval occur” (Goldstein 190). In other words, you can remember better if you try to physically relive the moment you’re trying to recall. For example, if you are home and you can’t find your car keys, you can imagine that they’re either in your house or car. Since you can’t leave your house without driving, that’s your main clue that the keys are home…

three stages that are gone through to make a memory: the encoding, storage, and retrieval. The encoding is the initial learning or experience of an event. Storage is just the holding of information until the retrieval which is when you access the information. If there is a mishap between these stages, then the memory will be loss. These stages are vital to the making of a memory, and help filter the important information from the unnecessary information. There are certain types of memory…

Long-Term Memory: Encoding and Retrieval After reading chapter seven about encoding techniques that improve retrieval, I decided to pay closer attention to how I study. I found that my studying habits were not all great. I did the majority of my studying on campus, either at the library or in a relaxed area. I would listen to music and read over the material, highlight the important terms, and finish with an overall feeling that I understood the content. When the time came to prove that I knew…

typical distraction that increments with age known as age related memory weakness and dementia is that the previous is disappointing yet not debilitating. Whats more, the reasons for age related memory hindrance is that. Besides different actualities was not said on hopkinsmemory.com on the investigation of memory, such as, one model that has regularly been used is a PCs data handling framework, which is in a few routes like human memory. To recall any occasion, we must get data into our…

an individual studies months on a specific question that asks the individual to name four characteristics to a mental disorder, after repeated encoding, that memory moves from an episodic memory to a semantic memory. Then on another question that individual recognizes a only the key phrase “four characteristics”, which the content is related to one of a psychotic break, the individual…

Our memories is what makes us, us. It is what we use to study, read, visualize or even listen. Our brain uses our memories for encoding, storing in short and long term memory boxes and retrieving from them when we need them. There are two parts of encoding, automatic processing and effortful processing. Let’s talk about automatic processing. Automatic processing processes the large amounts of info about space, time, frequency and even well-learned information. These four things are the big…
