Memory
Project description
You have probably noticed in your educational career that some people
are very good at remembering facts and therefore do well at tests that require memorization. To understand how
memory works, this exercise will ask you to trace the memory system from stimuli to long-term memory.
Use your text book and research from the Internet to learn the process of memory – from beginning to end. Your
description should include the following:
· Identification and description of each step in the human memory
· Discussion of factors that enhance or impede information flow
in each step of the process
· Explanation of proactive and retroactive interference and how you
might counteract their effects while studying in order to facilitate
maximum retention via long-term memory
· Explanation of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies
that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval
