Chapter 9 EDUC Study Guide

• Identify and describe the three basic functions of memory

• Encoding, Storage, Retrieval
• Input, Output, Processing
• Storage, Recall, Recognition
• Encoding, Retrieval, Processing

• Differentiate between sensory, short-term, and long-term memory

• Sensory memory is permanent, short-term memory is extended, and long-term memory is brief.
• Sensory memory is brief, short-term memory is temporary, and long-term memory continuous storage of information

• Sensory memory is extended, short-term memory is permanent, and long-term memory is brief.
• Sensory memory is temporary, short-term memory is brief, and long-term memory is permanent.

• Identify and describe methods for information retrieval

• Recall, is what we most often think about when we talk about memory

• Recognition, happens when you identify information that you have previously learned after encountering it again

• Relearning, It involves learning information that you previously learned

• Describe the forgetting curve and its implications for learning

• The forgetting curve shows how memory improves with time
• The forgetting curve is not related to memory retention
• The forgetting curve only applies to short-term memory
• The forgetting curve hypothesizes the decline of memory retention over time. This curve shows how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain it.

Describe strategies for deciding which course content to learn and retain
(Select all that apply)

• Think about concepts rather than facts

• Take cues from your instructor

• Look for key terms

• Use summaries

• Start reviewing new material immediately, Study frequently for shorter periods of time

Recognize and apply strategies for strengthening your memory

• Use only one study strategy, neglect sleep, and avoid physical activity
• Rehearsal, Incorporate visuals, Create mnemonics, Chunking, Connect new information to old information, Get quality sleep,

• Cram all study sessions together, skip physical activity, and eat poorly
• Avoid sleep, stay sedentary, and eat unhealthy foods
