Long Term Memory Retrieval

To learn from stressful events, memories of these events must be consolidated into long-term memory in case a similar situation occurs in the future. In the normal process of consolidating a memory, three different processes take place: synaptic long-term potentiation or LTP, systems consolidation, and reconsolidation (Depperman et al., 2014). LTP is a mechanism of neuroplasticity that increases the strength of certain synaptic connections through the stimulation of neurons involved in the connection. After an event happens, the new memory is transmitted to the hippocampus. Systems consolidation is the slow process by which memories are transferred from the hippocampus to the cortex such that memories are no longer hippocampus-dependent. Reconsolidation

The class was asked to do experiments on five different people who I know. We were asked to test their short-term memory. I thought it would be easy for my subjects to remember just 10 words. I wanted to see if age or education can change their short-term memory outcome. On TV, there is a reality game show "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader", well my son is in the fifth grade. We sat at the kitchen table, I read aloud the words that were on the high-value list. Then I asked him to write the words that he could remember me saying. Then an hour later, I did the next set of 10 words from the medium value list, then the low-value list of words an hour or so after. With my husband, I did the same thing has I did with my son. We sat at the table

The three types of memory that would help me pass my midterm exam would be sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. How I use each one to benefit me in a successful test score is important for a passing grade.

In The Effect of the Social Regulation of Emotion on Emotional Long-Term Memory, 219 undergraduate students participated. They earned extra credit or participation points for their time. Participants completed two different tasks of long-term memory: first task was a training task requiring the completion of a packet with questionnaires and while looking at images, participants held a stress ball. The second task, given a week after the training task, was the testing task, which consisted of completing a packet with questionnaires and this time participants held a female researcher’s hand, though she was not visible to the participants. For the given tasks, participants in the training part were to view six blocks; two of the blocks had

Forgetting in Short-term Memory can be a useful way in clearing out the unwanted clutter from our memories. Short Term Memory and Long Term Memory Research evidence, theories and studies supports and analyze that long term memory and short term memory are separate theories. Short term memory is a system for storing information for brief periods of time. Some researchers see short term memory simply as a temporary storage unit for incoming information.

Storing memories is a confusing subject considering the fact that your body can not physically store the memories itself. With that in mind, how does someone store memories? With everything else that the human body does, it is a mix of different things/parts of the human body working together to accomplish the same goal. This is still a developing theory as many other things related to the human body but we are certain that once the memories are obtained, they either go to short-term memories or go to long-term memories. Furthermore, how are memories obtained and store within the human mind?

A study was conducted to test how short term memory is retrieved and transferred to long term memory, the Serial Exhaustive theory was presented by Saul Sternberg. For the experiment, the participants were shown a series of numbers and was instructed to memorize them. Following, the probe number was presented on the screen. The participant was then prompted to indicate whether or not the probe number was included in the sequence shown initially or is it was new, the amount of time it took for the participant to respond was measured. The dependent variable is the measurement of the reaction time and the independent variables were set size (1, 3, 5) and whether or not the probe was present or absent. It was hypothesized that the participants will search for all of the items regardless of where the target appears. It was also hypothesized that first sequence of numbers will have the quickest reaction time part the participants, followed by set three which will be faster than set five.

It was harder for me to detect a scene change in the trials with a flicker between photographs than without a flicker. Reason for this is that without the flicker, the image stays completely intact unless the second photograph appears with a change that will stand out for me instantly. With the flicker present, I only saw the first picture for a couple seconds, proceeded by a grey background and then the second picture with or without a change. The problem here is that “people do no store many details of a scene in memory” (CogLab). My short term memory isn’t reliable, thus I have to stare at the first image at least 3 times to remember it and maybe detect a change on the second image depending on how obvious that change is. My data

The two different types of information stored in long term memory are declarative and procedural. Declarative is the memory of facts and events. Procedural is the memory of skills and how to do things.

Memory is defined as “an active system that receives information…puts that information into usable form, organizes it as it stores it away and then retrieves the information from storage” according to the Revel definition. (Revel) The way that people learn varies among different personalities but is brought about by experience or practice, long term memories are those that pretty much stay with us permanently. Using this information to help students learn more efficiently and to keep that information with them I found this article on the APA website. According to the article there are three research proven ways to study that increase the comprehension of the students and preserve the information in long term memory. The three

One topic that I found rather interesting was in chapter 6 Long-term Memory: Structure called Recognition Memory. "Recognition memory is the identification of a stimulus that was encountered earlier." (Goldstein, 2015, p. 158). According to the textbook when measuring recognition memory, where a person will be conferred a motive during a period of time and then again will be conferred the same motive later, as well as other alternatives that the person was not conferred to in the beginning, similar to studying for a multiple-choice exam (Goldstein, 2015, p. 158). I think we all as college students can relate to recognition memory regarding all of the tests, quizzes, papers, and final exams we have to take. When we study for a test we have to

General Topic and Hypothesis Verbal short-term memory (STM) is better maintained when a person has knowledge of the sounds and meanings of words presented. This semantic knowledge is demonstrated by the impact of semantic manipulations (e.g. word perceptibility) and by neuropsychological studies of word recall deficits. This can be explained either by redintegration or language based accounts. Redintegration is the long-term knowledge of lexical forms of words that facilitate item reconstruction. Language based accounts suggest that STM is supported by temporary activation of long-term linguistic representations prior to recall. The present study examines phoneme-level errors to assess the predictions of the semantic binding hypothesis, which

Long-term memory is presumably unlimited storage that holds information for long periods. This could be a large amount of time. This information comes from the short-term memory. Whenever you make a connection to the data, it moves into this ‘forever’ storage. Uninterrupted repetition and the meaningful association help to make this possible; I use this to help me. I believe, in order to prevent forgetting, you would need to recall the stored information constantly. For example, if it is a test you are studying for, you might want to

There are three major processes someone memory presents every day. These three processes which information passes through are encoding, storage, and retrieval. The first process information encounters is encoding. Encoding is the input of information into the memory system. Encoding can occur through a conscious mind or an unconscious mind. When the mind is unconscious the form of encoding it goes through is called automatic processing, this is taking in little clues from the surrounding environment such as time. When the mind is conscious and aware of what it is in taking this is called effortful processing. Effortful processing actual requires a lot of work such as

Memory is the process involved in retaining, retrieving and using information about stimuli, images, events, ideas and skills after the original information is no longer present. We can relate this case with what we learn in psychology. Short term memory holds information from 15 until 30 seconds whereas long term memory holds information for years. Short-term memory (STM) is the system that is involved in storing small amount of information for a brief period of time while long-term memory (LTM) is the system that is responsible for storing information for long periods of time and recall information about past events in lives and knowledge learned.
