Document Summary
Implicit memories: the ones we are not fully aware of and the not declare or talk about, do not require attention/effort to encode and recall. Explicit declaritive memories: facts and experiences that we can consciously know and recall, require attention/effort to encode and recall. Step 1: sensory memory: very brief recording of sensory information (vaires depending on the sensation, analogous to an echo or an image, of all the sensations we take in. E. g. the prof that asks what did i just say? : wait for attention, if attention is placed on part of the information it will move to short-term memory, otherwise it disappears. Facillitating effortful encoding: beyond tying a string on your nger: practice and depth of processing, strategies that rely on groupings. Chunking and hierarchies: strategies that rely on visualization rehearsal and distributed practice. Cramming is not effective use of your study time.
