Robber's Declarative Memory

S states that there are four phases to the human memory. He suggests that using a filing cabinet approach to learning things help with memorization. “Human memory is a four - stage process: input, encoding, rehearsal, and retrieval. A problem at any stage affects memory and learning”, (S, 2013). The author goes on to discuss how each process works within his system of learning and memorizing. Inputting information into the filing cabinet is through sensory. We are using taste, smell, sight, hearing and touching at this point just to organize and get the information into the brain but not memorizing or learning anything yet. This phase is the same as the first step in “Tips from the Science of Memory-for Studying and for Life”. Arranging the information in a way that it gives the best structure for remembering it. Next, we encode the information with short term memory, only knowing that the information is there but it is not yet fully understood or committed to long term memory. After that we will rehearse and practice the information that is organized and filed neatly in the filing cabinet because now we know where to go to look for the correct information when we need it for retrieval, the final step of the process. We need to know where to look for the things we have rehearsed and practiced over and over, this information is now committed to long term memory and the only way to keep what we have learned in long term memory is to rehearse it continuously. The author gave some tips on how to maximize our memory capabilities such as studying in a well-lit area, be organized with study material and have everything you need before beginning, get 6-8 hours of sleep every night, and take planned breaks during studying

Only the data that catches our attention or something we only need to know for a minute goes into short-term memory. Short-term memory is stored in the brain for about half a minute. Short-term storage is small; it can hold about seven independent items at one time, an example being "carry" numbers in math.Information that may help us in the future will go into long-term memory, where it can last a lifetime.Long-term memory involves three processes: encoding, storage and retrieval.

The last day I played music for the elderly that were out in the lobby. I could tell that a lot of people were happy to hear the music as I went on playing and taking requests. They sung along while I played Christmas Carols for them. Singing along showed that a lot of the people still had a strong procedural memory. In class, we talked about how in the memory-systems perspective, the most resilient type of memory; refers to material, such as well learned physical skills, that we automatically recall without conscious awareness. For example, you would automatically find yourself singing the words to “Jingle Bells” when the melody comes on the

94. You are studying for a test and you want to make sure that you thoroughly incorporate the new information into your memory network. What would be the best strategy for you to use?

Question 12.12. (TCOs 7, 8) Evidence suggests that procedural memories are stored in the _____. (Points : 5)

The Impossible Knife of Memory, by Laurie Halse Anderson is about a father-daughter duo who were trying to live a normal life so Hayley Kincain, the daughter, could finish her last year of highschool. Hayley’s father, Andy Kincain, was a veteran soldier who suffers PTSD from his active-duty days, and now currently is an alcoholic who has difficulty holding onto a steady job. Hayley constantly worries about her dad, as she inspects his truck’s mileage daily to see if he has gone to work, and skipping school to check up on him when she heard that Andy’s ex-girlfriend, Trish, has been contacting the school. Somehow, past all the panic and worry, Hayley manages to develop a close and stable friendship with her neighbor, Gracie Rappaport, who

The long-term memory holds information that a person already knows for very long periods of time. It holds declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge. Declarative knowledge includes information like facts and rules. Procedural knowledge includes information on how to do or perform something. Conditional knowledge helps a person know when and where to apply information from the procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge.

Procedural memory is usually memories associated with muscle memory where her body remembers it even if she does not. This is also true to the type of amnesia. She even dreams about Adam Sandler’s character even though she is not sure how she knows him. Somehow, her encounters with him are encoded even though she doesn’t remember them explicitly.

I felt The Impossible Knife of Memory was to pedestrian for a college-level course. In my belief, the author should have focused more on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and how it affects families and friends.

Memories can be influenced by time, emotion, prejudices, and intentions. It is important to understand how the mind processes memories and how that could apply to criminal justice. Psychologists separate memory into three phases: acquisition of memory, retention of memory, and retrieval of memory [1]. Acquisition of memory is when information is first received in the mind. Retention of memory is the period of time between acquisition and retrieval: this is an on-going process of storing this information, and when memories can be influenced most. Lastly,

Some scientists believe that parts of long term memory are permanent while others will eventually weaken over time. (3) Long term memory can be divided into three sections: procedural memory, declarative memory, and remote memory. Procedural memory includes motor skills such as learning how to ride a bike or how to drive a car. "Such memories are slow to acquire but more resistant to change or loss." (4) Declarative memory is used to remember facts, such as names, dates and places. It is easy to learn but also easy to lose. Finally there is episodic memory, which is the record of events that a person stores throughout his or her experience. Recent studies show that these events, as soon as they occur, are sent to a temporary part of the brain called the hippocampus, and that over time they are moved to the neocortex for permanent storage.

His working memory contains him rehearsing his plan and keeping in mind that if he kills people he will have to go though consequences like end up in jail, and have harsh imprisonment sentences. From his working memory it outputs to his episodic memory, declarative memory, and semantic memory which all are long-term memory (Friedenberg & Silverman, 2012, p.116-117). With him recalling the consequences of killing someone, his working memory leads him to facts and events which are contained in his declarative memory (Friedenberg & Silverman, 2012, p.117). His episodic memory contains what happened last time when he just tried stealing money from the bank and he ended up in jail for a couple of years and if he kills someone, then he knows most likely he will be in jail for rest of his life. Also, declarative memory contains facts such as, him knowing the passwords of the banks safes and computers which are given by the manager to him, when the bank opens and shuts, and when the most rush

(1). Therefore, once one sees something else or takes part in a new conversation is it difficult to remember all of the details from the one before. Declarative memory includes remembering facts one has used effort to learn in the past, and things one has tried to remember. The last part of memory, procedural memory, consists of everything one has learned by repetition, such as playing an instrument or sport, driving a car, or walking.

In daily life, memory is used all the time. When we go to buy things, we would remember the list of items what we are going to buy. At school, we would also need to have revision in order to remember the materials for examination. Or even, when we meet friends, we would also need to recall their names. Thus it is important to know and understand how we remember such things so that we can effectively recall them when necessary. Obviously, we do not need to remember the exact position or order of things in daily life. We would have our own pattern for remember and retrieve information (Ashcraft, 2010). This is named as free recall, which items recalled in any order (Francis, Neath, MacKewn and Goldthwaite, 2004). However, many researchers

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.
