Blog: Strategies for Encoding, Retention, and Retrieval By: Henry Ford Jr. Psych/644 Instructor: Dr. Michelle McGuire 10.03.2023

I think we have all been in the position of having to learn something new, at some point within our lives. Everyday there are new innovations, especially when it comes to the workforce. Most companies are doing more to include technology as part of their major growth plan. However, learning the new different additions can often create a challenge for an individual. According to (McLeod, S., 2023) by (Craik & Lockhart, 1972) the level of processing focuses on the depth of processing involved in memory, and predicts the deeper information is process, the longer the memory trace will last. The different levels of process allow for better paired-associate learning approach. Paired- associate learning is used to understand how people encode and retrieve newly formed association amongst stimuli. A prime example of paired- associate learning is the ‘verbal to visual’ concept. A word is said verbal that in-turn stimulates a visual thought to associate the definition of the word. Like the words “red fruit” being verbally stated and the vision of a ‘Red Apple’ would most like be the associative word in an individual’s mind. The generation effect can have an impact on an individual’s encoding and retention of new information, as well. This is considered a robust memory phenomenon in which actively producing material during encoding acts to improve later memory performance (Rosner, Z., Elman, J., & Shimamura, A., 2012). Each of these different strategies will help to make an individual more self-aware and socially aware of the surrounding environment. Learning new information can become a challenge if an individual does not develop a method of retention, so as not to lose the new knowledge gained. There are many different psychological theories to the encoding, retention and retrieval of information process, with new research being conducted consistently. Our individual memory process is created by certain distinctiveness in the subject matter, which allows us to pull learned information from our memories. Words that are generated as responses to incomplete stimuli are remembered better than complete words that are read. Learning anything new can be a bit intimidating but with the right tools, anyone can be successful.
