Document Summary
Frequently test yourself on the material you read. Connect new knowledge with existing knowledge instead of memorizing. The more cues you can connect from your knowledge to new material, the better. Retention and retrieval of skill and knowledge. Very many different kinds of stored information. Semantic memory: general knowledge, not tied to any time or place. Procedural memory: knowing know (i. e. memory for skills) Priming: changes in perception and belief caused by previous experience. Perceptual learning: recalibration of perceptual systems as a result of experience. Classical condition: learning about associations among stimuli. Passive record keeping, such as video recorder (64%), to preserve the past. The same memory mechanisms that serve us well in most circumstances can sometimes cause problems in others. Iconic (visual) lasts only - 1 second. Brief storage of perceptual (or raw) information before it is passed to stm. Each sense has its own form of sensory memory. Budder system: provides extra time to process incoming sensory info.
