There has been different research that proposed to explain how working memory capacity and different processing strategies enhance or interfere with memory performance. Although the literature cover different research, this review will focus in encoding and retrieval process of information, and the importance of working memory capacity. There is an important relation between individual differences in Working Memory Capacity (WMC) and retrieving information from long-term memory (LTM). In this…

According to dictionary.com, memory is the mental capacity of retaining facts, or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences. But memories are more than that. Memories define someone’s likes and dislikes, help recognize friends from enemies (Wilson). Memories are our own identity, all our knowledge and experience comes from them. Everyday of our life we are creating new memories. They are the base for taking decisions in a person’s life but are all those memories trustworthy? When you…

Creative Histories Presentation History is a narrative of human experience, written retrospectively. There is a process of evaluation and reflection that colours, interprets and reshapes events into patterns of memory that can be selective and distinctly individual. Authenticity and verifiable details make history a more reliable ‘story’ of human experience through the additional use of personal memories. Memory is fragile, often short term and highly subjective. The mind’s impact on memory can…

The hippocampus is the most important part of the brain because it is responsible for transferring information from working memory to long-term memory so it can be used again.If this area gets damaged, someone would forget everything that had happened previous the accident, but would be able to create new memories from that point on. There are many other aspects that play a role in us remember and forgetting. Two things that could cause someone to forget are interference and individual…

There are many ways to apply ones knowledge to improve study skills and performance on tests to make better grades. Memory essentially has 3 stages. Sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. The first step is sensory memory. In this stage you receive information from all your senses. is is stored there in sensory form. If we retain this information then we enter the short-term memory phase. In this phase there is a capacity of the amount of the information that we actually…

such as the radio or television caused an uprising when first introduced to the public in the 1900’s. For Americans living in the early 20th century, the invention of three dimensional (3D) printing would have certainly created havoc. Considering the fact that computers and technology leading up to 3D printing were still in the works, it would be surprising if people were not…

Interference and the Similarity of Information Introduction Memory can be defined as the brain’s ability to encode, store and retrieve information. At times, the retrieval process can be completed unproductively, this occurrence is referred to as forgetting. Forgetting is the inability to retrieve certain information that is stored in memory (Grivas, 2014). An individual’s ability to recall information can be affected by a number of factors. Some research, such as the studies of Muller and…

Sleep Insight Improves Memory Recall It is common knowledge that sleep is essential for survival, “we spend about one-third of our lives asleep.” (National Institutes of Health, 2003) When an individual obtains adequate sleep, it is known to lower stress, improve one’s mood, help maintain a healthy weight, improves athletic performance/coordination, and increases one’s ability to pay attention and remember new information. The benefits of getting adequate hours of sleep, in turn have drastic…

Our memories are valuable. All over the world, people work and live to make good ones. Not only are they cherished, but without them, we wouldn’t be able to learn skills, language, and information. Thankfully, our brains specialize in the area of making and recalling memories. In order to make a memory, we have to “encode, store, and retrieve information.” (200) Between these three stages of processing information, our brains contain many types of memory. The first stage that our brains go…

Are we too confident with our memories? Recalling memories is something that’s done on the daily, and is a very easy task to accomplish. We remember our last meal, what we did last weekend, and much more. Memories are recalled on our leisure and when they matter, like being an eyewitness to a crime. Regardless of what is being recalled the memory is firm; that is that the way the memory is remember is exactly the what it happened. For how much confidence we put in our memories our memories are…
