The Nature of Memory
Definition: retention of information or
experience over time
“Through memory, we weave the past into
the present and establish a foundation for
the future…”
Three Phases (Steps) of Memory (ESR)
1. encoding
2. storage
3. retrieval
5. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Encoding: Sensory Input
To begin the process of memory encoding
we need to pay attention to
information…
6. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Attention
What is the role of attention?
selective attention (not notice other things)
divided attention- multitasking (texting and
driving)
sustained attention- vigilance (studying)
Research indicates that even though we feel
confident that we can multitask- it actually
impedes our ability to pay attention
adequately.

Encoding:
Levels of Processing
Encoding occurs on a continuum…
shallow processing
intermediate processing
deep processinging - meaningful
The more deeply we process, the
better the memory (Howes, 2006)
8. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Encoding: Elaboration
Within deep processing, the more
extensive the processing, the
better the memory (Terry, 2009)
Elaboration can enhance memory
Creating numerous mental
connections
vivid examples
self-referencing effect (relate to
own experience)
9. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Encoding: Imagery
One of the most powerful ways to
make memories distinctive is to use
mental imagery (Murray, 2007 etc)
image codes (highly detailed and distinctive)
are stored as both
superior to verbal codes (words or labels)
alone

enhance your memory for the material
in this class?

Memory Storage
Atkinson-Shiffrin Theory (1968)
pg212
3 Separate Memory Storage Systems
(SM, STM, LTM)
12. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Storage: Sensory Memory
very brief duration (miliseconds)
echoic (auditory) memory
iconic (visual) memory
13. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Storage: Short-Term Memory
attention: moves sensory memory
STM
limited duration (about 30 seconds)
limited capacity (7 ± 2) (phone
numbers)
14. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Storage: Short-Term Memory
How can we improve/remember more
for STM?
chunking
grouping items into a unit
rehearsal
conscious repetition of information
prolongs STM duration indefinitely
15. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Working Memory –
An Alternative to STM
Is Atkinson-Shiffrin’s theory too simplistic?
Baddeley’s Model of Working Memory Pg
215
Active Memory System – allows us to hold
information temporarily as we perform
cognitive tasks
phonological loop - speech (Assistant)
visuospatial working memory – visual and
spatial (Assistant)
central executive - integrates (Boss)
CE can pull from long term memory as well
16. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Storage: Long-Term Memory
pg216
relatively permanent with “unlimited” capacity
explicit long-term memory (declarative) facts and events
implicit long-term memory (nondeclarative) experiential learning
Page 218 examples
17. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Storage: Explicit LTM
Subtypes of Explicit Memory
episodic
autobiographical memories
semantic
knowledge about the world
18. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Storage: Implicit LTM
nondeclarative memory
affected by a past experience
without consciously recalling it
procedural memory - skills
classical conditioning – automatic
associations
Priming – pulling prior knowledge
to make it easier to remember

When it is time for the final exam, which
information from your class do you think it would
be best to brush up on, and why?
24. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Retrieval: Special Cases
autobiographical memories
Episodic memory
Episodic bump (adults remember what? Pg
227)
emotional memories
flashbulb memories – emotionally sig event
traumatic events
repressed memories
25. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
False Memory Recovery?
childhood sexual abuse, other events
recovered or discovered memories?
difficult to separate accurate and inaccurate
memories
How should courts of law deal with
“discovered” memories?
26. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Eyewitness Testimony
Distortion – memory fades
Bias – ethnic distinctions
Inaccuracy - faulty
More scientific approaches to trial
evidence ?
27. © 2011 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
Future Memory
prospective memory
remembering to do something in the future
content – remembering what to do
timing – remembering when to do it

studies

LTM (who is on the dollar bill, 5
dollar?)
Interference theory
proactive interference - previous
retroactive interference – later

amnesia

Notes de l'éditeur Why is memory important? Instructors might use this question to introduce the importance of memory and memory research. It might also serve as a prompt for a reflective paper, for small group/class discussions, or as a prompt for the instructor to discuss the obvious and not-so-obvious responses to this question. IM: Three Phases of Memory Activity What is the role of attention? Again, it might be useful for students to think about how little they remember due, in part, to attentional mechanisms. IM: Divided Attention Activity What is the role of attention? Again, it might be useful for students to think about how little they remember due, in part, to attentional mechanisms. IM: Divided Attention Activity Activity/Demonstration: Additional examples of this may help students understand differences between the levels of encoding. For example, insert a picture (like the barking dog described in the text) and have students identify the various levels of processing. IM: Activity Handout 8.1: How Do you see a House? Activity/Demonstration: There exist a lot of great activities that illustrate the self-referencing effect. IM: Activity Handout 8.2: The Story of E=mc 2 IM: Activity Handout 8.2: The Story of E=mc 2 Note: To aid their encoding, it might be useful to tell students that the three distinct memory systems differ in terms of (1) the amount of information that can be stored and (2) the length of time the information is stored. Activity/Demonstration: Reenactments of Sperling’s study are available online and can easily be incorporated into this PowerPoint set. IM: Sensory Memory Activity Activity/Demonstration: Instructors may want to incorporate an in-class demonstration of memory span either before or after presentation of this slide. IM: Activity Handout 8.3: Chunking IM: Activity Handout 8.4: What Type of Memory Is It ? IM: Serial Position Effect Activity IM: Flashbulb Memory Activity Activity/Demonstration: You have the opportunity to stage an “event” in the classroom and subsequently ask students to describe and/or identify your accomplice. IM: Activity Handout 8.5: Were They Really Eyewitnesses Activity/Demonstration: You have the opportunity to stage an “event” in the classroom and subsequently ask students to describe and/or identify your accomplice. IM: Activity Handout 8.5: Were They Really Eyewitnesses IM: Prospective Memory Activity IM: Encoding Failure Activity IM: Encoding Failure Activity IM: Prospective Memory Activity IM: Activity Handout 8.6: Mnemonic Devices IM: Alzheimer’s Disease Activity Note: Instructors may use the learning objectives presented on this slide or the following two slides to summarize the chapter material.
