What is encoding in memory?

Back

Encoding in memory is the process of converting data into a format that can be stored and retrieved efficiently by a computer system.

Front

Explain the process of storage in memory.

Back

Data is transferred from RAM to a storage device for long-term retention.

Front

How does retrieval work in memory?

Back

Retrieval in memory works by activating the neural networks associated with the stored information, often triggered by cues or context.

Front

What is forgetting and why does it occur?

Back

Forgetting is the inability to retrieve previously learned information from memory. It occurs due to interference, decay, lack of retrieval cues, or encoding failure.

Front

Discuss the different types of memory: Sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory; Episodic memory, iconic memory, echoic memory; Working memory, procedural memory, semantic memory; Visual memory, auditory memory, olfactory memory.

Back

Sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory

Front

What are some common memory disorders?

Back

Alzheimer's disease, dementia, amnesia, mild cognitive impairment

Front

How can encoding be improved for better memory?

Back

Use mnemonic devices, chunking, associations, retrieval practice, and adequate sleep.

Front

Describe the concept of short-term memory.

Back

Short-term memory is the ability to hold a small amount of information in mind for a short period of time.

Front

What role does rehearsal play in memory?

Back

Rehearsal strengthens neural connections associated with the information.

Front

Explain the impact of stress on memory.

Back

Stress can impair memory by affecting the hippocampus, leading to difficulties in memory formation and retrieval.
