** The lost memory: Different from forgetting – A memory you once had, but
you lost it; never to get it back or retrieve it. This almost always happens after
some sort of physical brain tissue loss. **
Remembering
The process of remembering is a three stage process:
1.) Encoding: Encode experience (transform event into some sort of storable
form in the brain).
♦ Visual Code: Also known as icon (a memory connection with some sort
of imagery)
2.) Storage: Occurs in the outer brain: the cerebral cortex (in the FULL cerebral
cortex, all over it
3.) Retrieval: Finding information that has been stored, and making them of use
** Views of Memory * *
1.) Sensory Register: Memories in this register tend to last 3-5 seconds

2.) Short Term Memory [STM]: Memories in this register can last up to 30
seconds
3.) Long Term Memory [LTM]: Memories that can last up to a lifetime, (if
necessary); depending on importance put on memories upon you and
your mind
Memories for:
o Conditioned Responses
o Learned Skills
Declarative Memory:
o Names
o Ideas
o Places

B. Episodic Memory:
Explicit Memory:
Relearning:
The time it will take to relearn a skill or ability after one has forgotten,
will be less, and/or shorter the second or third time around

Forgetting
The explanation or discussion of how memories are forgotten, is almost
always a elaboration on THEORIES of how memories are forgotten
1.) Encoding Failure: The original experience was never originally “encoded”
or stored
2.) Decay Theory: (intuitively appealing theory) Time, and time alone, will be the end of
all your memories
3.) Disuse Theory: Similar to the “Use it or lose it” term; Not recalling on
memories will eventually lead the mind to forget them

7.) Anterograde Amnesia*SHORT TERM*: Inability to form and make new memories
after a trauma
8.) State Dependent Learning: The process of learning and recalling based on
a physical or mental state (ex: Drunks remember events when they were
drunk, but can’t when they are sober)

D. Serial Position Effect – When one forgets items in a list of things, the
possibility to forget items in the middle, are higher than forgetting items in
the top/beginning and bottom/end
E. Over-learning:
b. Study the material until you can confidently say to yourself “I kno dis
shit”
F. Space/Mass Practice – Spacing out the learning process into intervals (ex:
over time)
