• Memory

  • Has the capacity

  store and recall

  information, so

  much like a

  computer's hard

  drive
• Information is saved for

  later use, the trick is how

  to retrieve that

  information in essence

  "verbatim"
• HUMAN STORAGE Capacity

  • the human mind, believe it or

  not, has the capacity to

  remember sensory input

  through our immediate senses
• immediate senses

  available to us by our:

  – unique physiology

  – tactile contact ( touch and taste)

  – audio (through ears)

  – smell (nose)

  – wide variance of imaging data

  (eyes)
• however the human operating

  system (psychology) actually

  chooses consciously, or

  subconsciously, which to

  store and where to file it, human

  memory does not discard
• memory is

  our level of interest on the subject matter
• REPETITION - can help us remember as

  this makes the subject matter needed to

  be recalled ROUTINE
• AUTOMATIC RECOLLECTION -

  involuntary recalling of infos
• VISUALIZATION & ASSOCIATION -

  organizing your thoughts by picturing
• SHORT TERM MEMORY - is information

  that is new and stands ready to be used
• LONG TERM MEMORY - is short term

  memory converted and saved for future

  reference
• Computer

  VERSUS

  • Humans

  have an index to point

  to specific locations

  where a file is stored
• Sensory Memory - refers to the

  information we receive through the senses

  that is very brief and lasts only as much as

  a few seconds
• Short Term Memory - takes over when the

  information in our sensory memory is

  transferred to our consciousness or our

  present field of awareness
• Long Term Memory - this memory is

  relatively permanent and practically seems

  unlimited in terms of its storage capacity

  unlimited capacity
• PRIMACY

  is when stimuli or information that occurs

  and is absorbed by our brain through our

  own consciousness, decides that this

  information holds greater

  importance than other data
• RECENCY

  simply explained as FIRST one IN - FIRST one

  OUT, LAST one IN, LAST one OUT
• DISTINCTIVENESS

  if something really

  rouses our attention,

  then the memory of

  that incident

  becomes so

  profound that it

  becomes or seems

  too impossible to

  forget
• FREQUENCY these memories are attributed to recurring incidents that happen around us, sort of like the routine
• RECONSTRUCTION this is when one tries to piece together a string of events that may lead to the whereabout of the lost item
• ASSOCIATION - it becomes easier to remember when we associate, match or attach information to a memory
• ANALYTICAL INTELLIGENCE - the ability to solve problem by looking at its components
• CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE - ability to use new or ingenious ways to solve problems
• PRACTICAL INTELLIGENCE refers to street smarts or common sense
