It is true that the success of the individual in his
every-day business, profession, trade or other
occupation depends very materially upon the
possession of a good memory.
His value in any walk in life depends to a great
extent upon the degree of memory he may have
developed.

• Memory is developed, trained and cultivated by
individual effort naturally.
• Three essentials are ( i ) use, exercise, review
and practice ( ii ) Attention and Interest ( iii )
Intelligent Association.
• Memory can atrophy by disuse and develop by
rational exercise and employment.

• By paying attention, we acquire the impressions
that we file away in our mind’s record-file. The
degree of attention regulates the depth,
clearness and strength of the impression.
• With a good record, we may expect to obtain a
good reproduction of it.
• Every association that we weld to an idea or an
impression, serves as a cross-reference in the
index, whereby, the thing is found by
remembrance when it is needed.

1. Sensory memory: gathered from 5 senses
2. Short-term (working) memory: limited to 5 –
9 separate facts
3. Long-term memory: you can store &
retrieve anything.

• Short term memory: It is information remaining
in consciousness after being perceived. Short-
term memory (STM) refers to memory processes
that retain information only temporarily, until
information is either forgotten or becomes
incorporated into a more stable, potentially
permanent long-term store.
![Page 8: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Long term memory: knowledge of a former state
of mind after it has already once dropped from
consciousness.
• It involves a storage system that is responsible
for retaining small amounts of information over
brief intervals of time.

Without attention and rehearsal,
information is lost rapidly from STM.
Rehearsal facilitates maintenance of
information in STM and transfer of
information from STM to LTM.
Short-term and long-term memory stores
are distinct
![Page 11: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
In human memory, there are structurally separate
components or stores through which information is
transferred. A subset of the information in the sensory
registers is chosen for later processing via selective
attention and is transferred into a short-term store
(STS) (encoding). The STS is fragile and decays
quickly, so rehearsal is necessary to keep information
within the STS (maintenance) and to transfer it to a
more durable long-term store (LTS).
![Page 12: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
•Large capacity
•Modality-specific stores
•Very brief duration
•Lost rapidly w/o attention
•Lost without attention and rehearsal
•Rehearsal facilitates transfer to LTM

Working memory is the theoretical
construct that has come to be used in cognitive
psychology to refer to the system or mechanism
underlying the maintenance of task-relevant
information during the performance of a cognitive
task. What is the relationship between working
memory and declarative long-term memory? Is
working memory simply an activated portion of
long-term memory?
![Page 15: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1.Attention: A car may drive by, but if you do not notice
it, you cannot remember it.
2. Storage: Think of your brain as a computer. You
have active memory (like RAM: which holds
information) and you have long-term memory (like your
hard drive).
3. Retrieval: Imagine a filing cabinet from which you
can get back information that is stored.
![Page 16: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mnemonic Systems are things that you can
use to improve your memory.
They usually include working with
information to increase:
attention,
meaningfulness,
organization,
association, and visualization.

• Endeavor to link by some thought relation
each new mental acquisition to an old one.
Bind new facts to other facts by relations of
similarity, cause and effect, whole and part,
or by any logical relation, and we shall find
that when an idea occurs to us, a host of
related ideas will flow into the mind.
![Page 18: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

If you are looking for ways to preserve and even
enhance your grey matter as you age, there are
many things you can do to improve brain health
and thus your memory and mental performance.

• Get motivated
• Reduce interference
• Be selective
• Intend to remember
![Page 21: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Stimulates the senses
• Releases stress
• Improves sleep
• Enhances digestion
• Maintains strength
All of the above positively impact memory.
The Benefits of Exercise:
![Page 22: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Some evidence suggests that exercise is
particularly effective for short-term memory.
• 20-minute daily walks may improve
memory performance.
The Benefits of Exercise: contd.

1. Distribute learning
2. Overlearn
3. Use daylight
4. Got attitude?
5. Combine memory techniques
6. Avoid short-term memory lapse
7. Review
![Page 24: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This ability is of the utmost importance to learning
and memory. You can harness the natural power of
neuroplasticity to improve your memory and
increase your cognitive abilities. Research
suggests you may want to incorporate some of the
following strategies as well
![Page 25: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Healthy relationships may be the ultimate memory
booster. Researchers found that people with the
most active social lives had the slowest rate of
memory decline. Relationships stimulate our
brains and the best kind of brain exercise may be
interacting with others
![Page 26: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Research shows that sleep is necessary for
memory consolidation, with key memory-
enhancing activity occurring during the
deepest stages of sleep.

Laughter is good for you and engages multiple
regions across the whole brain. As psychologist
Daniel Goleman notes in his book Emotional
Intelligence, ―laughter … seems to help people
think more broadly and associate more freely.
![Page 29: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Interestingly, these changes also precede
Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia Today also reports
that in Alzheimer’s disease patients, early neuron
loss and changes in synapse function have been
observed in the hippocampus and neo-cortex —
the very brain regions involved in language,
memory, and other higher cognitive functions
![Page 30: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
BRAIN and MEMORY
the hippocampus and neo-
cortex — are the very brain
regions involved in
language, memory, and
other higher cognitive
functions.
![Page 31: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Storing information properly:
• Without rehearsal or use, information is forgotten
• The brain’s information retrieval system:
association, repetition, rehearsal &
mnemonic devices
![Page 32: Cultivate memory](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052213/55a548881a28ab23198b4656/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We see that the cultivation of the memory is
far more than the cultivation and
development of a single mental faculty—it is
the cultivation and development of our
entire mental being— the development of
our selves.
