Memory “Learning refers to the process by which
experiences change our nervous system and hence our behaviour. We refer to these changes as memory… Experiences are not ‘stored’, rather they change the way we perceive, perform, think and plan. They do so by physically changing the structure of the nervous system, altering neural circuits that participate in perceiving, performing, thinking and planning.” Neil Carlson

I’m going to read 16 numbers out loud. After listening to the numbers, you will be asked to recall as many as you can in the correct order.

Now I’m going to read four dates out loud, saying each number individually. The first three years (12 numbers) are important dates in history and the last year is the current year. After listening, you will be asked to recall as many of the numbers in the correct order as possible.

3 Processes of LTM Encoding: information is processed prior to
storage Storage: the information is preserved in
some form Retrieval: the information is recovered and
reported Forgetting may be due to deficiencies in
any of the these three key processes
![Page 40: Memory](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5681591b550346895dc64428/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Encoding Encoding is an active process
Selective attention “next-in-line effect”
Levels of processing Qualitative differences in how people
attend to information Three progressive levels (Craik &
Lockhart, 1972)
![Page 41: Memory](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5681591b550346895dc64428/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Encoding: Levels of Processing Shallow processing
Structure encoding “Is the word written in capital letters?”
Intermediate processing Phonemic encoding “Does the word rhyme with weight?”
Deep processing Semantic encoding

Levels of Processing Theory
The deeper the level of processing, the longer and more durable the memories will be.
Problems How do we define “level”? How do we determine whether one
level is deeper than another?
![Page 48: Memory](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5681591b550346895dc64428/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Visual Imagery: dual code theory
Paivio (1971) proposed that imagery and verbal memory were two independent ways of remembering an item. This is supported by the fact that: Concrete words are remembered better than abstract words Pictures are remembered better than words.

common activities

Script
“The procedure is actually quite simple. First arrange things into different bundles depending on make-up. Don’t do too much at once. In the short run this may not seem important, however, complications easily arise. A mistake can be costly. Next, find facilities. Some people must go elsewhere for them. Manipulation of appropriate mechanisms should be self-explanatory. Remember to include all other necessary supplies.

Script cont.
“Initially the routine will overwhelm you, but soon it will become just another facet of life. Finally, rearrange everything into their initial groups. Return these to their usual places. Eventually they will be used again. Then the whole cycle will have to be repeated.”

Retrieval: Getting Info Out Encoding specificity principle
(Tulving) Any stimulus that is encoded along with
the experience can later trigger memory Context cues
State-dependent memory Match between internal states during
encoding and recall Semantic network

Repressed Memories
Some recovered memory incidents have been substantiated by independent witnesses or belated admissions of guilt from the accused.
Vast majority have vehemently denied allegations of abuse and independent corroboration not available.
