Day 9 - I NEED MORE MEMORY
We were supposed to learn something today, but I can't remember. It's on the tip of my tongue.....nope, lost it.

Learning Targets - Students will be able to identify the primary models of memory formation and distinguish between the different forms of memory involved in cognition.
Opener - You will see a list of 3 words in the center of the screen. Study them very carefully. You will be asked to recall them later.
Chunking is the process of organizing information into smaller groupings (chunks), thereby increasing the number of items that can be held in STM.

Activity #1 - What does the phrase "It's like riding a bike" typically mean? Why don't we have to consciously think about how to ride a bike?
Implicit memory refers to the influence of experience on behavior, even if the individual is not aware of those influences
Priming refers to changes in behavior as a result of experiences that have happened frequently or recently. Priming refers both to the activation of knowledge (e.g., we can prime the concept of kindness by presenting people with words related to kindness) and to the influence of that activation on behavior (people who are primed with the concept of kindness may act more kindly).
Encoding is the process by which we place the things that we experience into memory. Ever forget someone's name right after they just told you? That's what happens if we don't encode.
Spacing effect refers to the fact that learning is better when the same amount of study is spread out over periods of time than it is when it occurs closer together or at the same time.
For example:
Schemas— patterns of knowledge in long-term memory that help us organize information. Schemas are important in part because they help us remember new information by providing an organizational structure for it.
For example, what process is described in the instructions below?
The procedure is actually quite simple. First you arrange things into different groups. Of course, one pile may be sufficient depending on how much there is to do. If you have to go somewhere else due to lack of facilities, that is the next step; otherwise you are pretty well set. It is important not to overdo things. That is, it is better to do too few things at once than too many. In the short run this may not seem important, but complications can easily arise. A mistake can be expensive as well. At first the whole procedure will seem complicated. Soon, however, it will become just another facet of life. It is difficult to foresee any end to the necessity for this task in the immediate future, but then one never can tell. After the procedure is completed, one arranges the materials into different groups again. Then they can be put into their appropriate places. Eventually they will be used once more and the whole cycle will then have to be repeated. However, that is part of life.
Activity #2 - With a partner....
Use the handout provided to conduct the memory retrieval experiment.
