What is retained or remembered

1. Relearning
2. Learning material once learned
3. Recall
4. Recognition

1. Introduce use of nonsense syllables
2. Memorize nonsense syllables
3. Record amount of time to memorize
4. Relearn list following various intervals
5. keep record of time required

• Greater retention for more meaningful materials
• Materials once learned can be relearned w/less effort

1. People can remember some of what they hear in light sleep.
2. No learning during deep sleep.
3. Learning followed by rest is retained better than learning followed by activity.
   • important times retained about as well when person stays awake after learning them.

• Encoding
• Rehearsal
• Storage
• Retrieval

Refers to process by which you can recall information stored in memory system.

* Memory system can store at least hundreds of thousands of varied bits of information.

1. Sensory Registers
2. Short term memory
3. Long term memory

Memory where information is stored momentarily.

• Last about 1/4 of a second
• Information is either lost or encoded

Last from few seconds to half a min.

• Can be recalled perfectly but must be rehearsed.
• 7-8 items max

More or less permanent type of memory storage.

1. Reasons for difficulty in recall from LTM.
   • Information never reaches LTM
   • Lack of stimulus by which individual can locate properly stored info (retrieval failure).

1. Elapse of time
2. Inattention
3. Retrospective Inhibition
4. Proactive Inhibition
5. Motivated Forgetting

Important aspect of forgetting is individual's motives.

• Repression-Unconcious process by which we make memories unavailable to recall.
• Forcing yourself to forget
