Memory

What is encoding in memory?

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

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

Explain the process of storage in memory.

• Data is printed on paper for long-term retention

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

• Data is directly stored in the CPU cache

• Data is transmitted wirelessly to a cloud server for storage

How does retrieval work in memory?

• Retrieval in memory is solely dependent on the emotional state of the individual

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

• Retrieval in memory is a passive process that occurs randomly

• Retrieval in memory is a conscious effort that requires no neural activation

What is forgetting and why does it occur?

• Forgetting is a myth created by scientists and does not actually happen.

• Forgetting is a sign of intelligence and occurs when the brain is too full.

• Forgetting is caused by aliens erasing memories from our brains.

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

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

What are some common memory disorders?

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

• Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder

• Hypertension, diabetes, asthma

• Broken leg, common cold, sore throat

How can encoding be improved for better memory?

• Avoid sleep and rest, focus on constant studying

• Use repetition, randomization, and multitasking

• Rely solely on visual encoding without other strategies

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

Describe the concept of short-term memory.

• Short-term memory is the same as long-term memory.

• Short-term memory is only related to visual information.

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

• Short-term memory is the ability to hold an unlimited amount of information indefinitely.

What role does rehearsal play in memory?

• Rehearsal weakens neural connections associated with the information.

• Rehearsal strengthens neural connections associated with the information.

• Rehearsal has no impact on memory.

• Rehearsal only affects short-term memory.

Explain the impact of stress on memory.

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

• Stress enhances memory by boosting cognitive functions

• Stress has no impact on memory retention

• Stress only affects short-term memory, not long-term memory
