Long-Term Retention and Recall
IMPORTANT MESSAGES
incorporate "retrieval practice" into your study plan
deliberately link new information to existing knowledge
get 7-8 hours of quality sleep on a regular basis
adopt a deep approach to learning
pay attention to the learning task at hand and avoid distractions
STM(short-term)
Poor STM can be a limiting factor in learning
Holds 7 +/- 2 items for less than a minute.
chunking increases the amount of info held in STM
rehearsal increases length of time in STM and improves chances of transfer to LTM
LTM(long-term)
some STMs will be lost and
some will enter long-term storage.
In the absence of continuous rehearsal,
anything you can recall after about a minute is a long-term memory
All perceived stimuli enter your memory storage system as “sensory memories.”
complicated system for creating and storing long-term memories
LTMs are distributed in a neural network
Process consolidation
deep sleep is essential to creating LTM's
Not all STM become retrievable LTMs
Stabilizes conversion of STM to LTM.
new LTM linked to existing LTM's via formation & strengthening of neural synapses
Sensory Encoding
ignored information vanishes
not all information makes it into STM
attention is essential
crucial first step in memory creation
