Memory T Chart Collaboration

Objective

I will synthesize information about

Short Term Memory and about Long Term Memory by reading on-line articles and

filling in a T chart with key paraphrased

information.

Expectations & Directions

Contribute to your partnership.

Remain on task and pace with your partner.

Only write on your own organizer.

Explain your findings to each other.

Ask questions for clarification as well as out of interest.

Write clearly as you complete your Memory T Chart.

Synthesize information to create a holistic explanation of each term.

Read closely and LOOK for context that helps to explain each concept.

Talk to your partner. Use your dialogue and auditory capacities to support each other.

Check Our Information!

Did we find accuracy or repeated information about STM?

What about LTM? Did you have time to read the article?

What do you want to know more about?

STM Research!

Jacobs Omit w and 7 Easier to remember

numbers (~9) than letters (~7)

Atkinson & Shiffrin Duration is 15-30 sec. Acoustic encoding is best

Verbal Rehearsal

Peterson & Peterson Limited duration,

especially when rehearsal can’t take place

Baddeley & Hitch take us to the WORKING MEMORY!

Prepare for Lecture

We will apply concepts from the

articles to lecture by listening and taking

notes.

Verify your comprehension

Add to your knowledge

Ask for clarification

Cornell Notes: Working Memory

Set up your notes.

Check your posture.

Remember to raise your hand.

We will have time to finalize notes at the end of class.

ENCODING

1. Memory starts with ENCODING and ATTENTION Information that is taken from our senses has to be

changed into a “memorable” form Ex: See a word on the whiteboard it changes into a sound or

meaning

Information is encoded (changed) in 3 main ways 1. Visual 2. Acoustic 3. Semantic

The principal encoding system for STM is acoustic Verbal rehearsal is heard

The primary encoding system in LTM is semantic coding, though all 3 are used in LTM

STORAGE

2. Strength of memory STORAGE Duration

Amount of time that information is maintained

Capacity (aka: Span) The amount of information that can be stored at any given time Miller’s Magic Number 7 Chunking

Primacy Effect Items at the beginning of a list are more readily available than items in the

middle.

Recency Effect Items at the end of the list (most recently encoded) are more easily

remembered than items in the middle Tests & Quizzes—Don’t you want to remember info?

RETRIEVAL

3. RETRIEVAL is taking information out of memory storage to use recalled information

STM is retrieved in order of sequence, which matches how it’s stored Ex: When remembering a list of items, they are more

easily remembered when rehearsed in the same order. Then, if asked to recall the 3rd item, each item is rehearsed again until item 3 comes to pass.

Organizing information in sequence (ordered numbers, size, or alphabetically) will improve storage and retrieval

LTM is stored by association.

Working Memory (Diagrammed by Baddeley & Hitch)

Working memory refers to the processes

that are used to temporarily store,

organize and manipulate

information.

Short-term memory, on the other hand, refers only to the temporary storage of information in memory,

not necessarily its use.

Components of Working Memory

Involves different storage components for different types of stimuli, which is information that enters the senses

Central Executive- sends information to the appropriate storage system and handles thought-out math and problem solving

Visuo-Spatial Sketch Pad-stores information that is seen and helps with navigation

Phonological Loop-maintains spoken and written material to help us understand and produce language

An example of STM loss:

Could Dory be real?

Let’s watch a short clip of Finding Nemo.

THINK: Based on what you know, how accurate might this clip be?

Finalize CNs

1. Highlight subheadings and key terms.

2. Add any missing/additional information.

3. Create at least one higher level question question per subsection.

4. Create a summary with at least one solid sentence per subsection.
