Outline and evaluate research into encoding in memory (8) A study by Baddeley was conducted in 1966. He did two experiments looking into the STM and LTM. In these two studies he gave participants four lists of words. These were a list where the words were acoustically similar another where they were acoustically different and one where they were semantically similar and the last where they were semantically different. They were read the lists and then given an interference task for 20 seconds

effects of normal aging on memory may result from the subtly changing environment within the brain. With aging‚ the brain seems to lose cells in areas that produce important neurotransmitters‚ upsetting the brain’s delicate balance of these chemical messengers. Other changes occur in the brain’s white matter‚ which is made up of nerve cell fibers‚ the “telephone cables” of brain cells through which communication with other cells takes place. Just how these changes affect memory

Memory can be defined as the process of acquiring information through encoding by changing it to a usable form‚ storage for later use and retrieval by bringing stored memories into conscious awareness state (Sternberg‚ 1999). The flow of information from the sensory input into the short term working memory (STM) and the long term permanent memory (LTM) is based on the subject’s control (Atkinson & Shiffrin). The subject controls the flow of information with the aid of control processes that act within

Outline and Evaluate strategies for memory improvement. (12 marks) The first main memory improvement technique is the use of verbal mnemonics that focuses around words. For example acronyms‚ (where a word or sentence is formed from the initial letters of other words) e.g. - UNICEF - The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.

Distorted Memory As Will Rogers once said‚ “You never know how much a man can’t remember until he is called as a witness.” Human memory serves many purposes in people’s past‚ present‚ and future. Memory and the images contained in it help people to conduct the daily routines of life that are required for basic survival. It also aids in times of great sorrow when dealing with the loss of a loved one. Without memory‚ people would not be able to write‚ speak‚ navigate‚ or have personal relationships
