Memory: the ability of the brain to store and recall information

3 types of memory

  1. Sensory
  2. Short-Term
  3. Long-Term

All memory requires input!

Sensory Memory

Sensory memory is the first step in the process of remembering things. It is all of the input from your five senses. Right now, you are hearing things, seeing things, and feeling the sensation of your back against your chair. But are you going to remmember everything? It would be way too much for your brain to remember. Sensory memory only lasts a few seconds.

Where sensory memory is generally measured based on time, short-term memory is based on quantity. With short-term memory, an individual is able to recall a limited amount of information. Generally, short-term memory is limited to about seven pieces of information. However, this can vary depending on the complexity of the information.

Short-term memory

Have one member of your group roll the dice 5 times. Have someone else in your group write down the sequence of numbers. See if you can remember the random sequence of numbers without writing them down. What is the longest sequence you can remember?

Short-term Memory test

Long-term memory is the final step in the brain's information processing. Certain information that is considered meaningful or important is stored as long-term memory. This allows for future recall of this information. While not every input is saved as long-term memory, the brain is capable of storing a lot of information as long-term memory. There are two types of long-term memory:Explicit and Implicit

Long-term memory

Explicit memory recalls facts or events that are clear or explicit. This is the type of memory you might use when recalling a vocabulary term or definition.

Explicit

Implicit memory is information that is not as concrete as explicit memory. Muscle memory is a form of implicit memory. For example, you may know how to ride a bicycle, but it may be difficult to explain the process of remembering how to balance or pedal.

Implicit

Types of Long-Term Memory

Remembering how to dance is a form of implicit memory

Sometimes, learning may be jokingly referred to as your brain growing. However, this is not actually what happens. The process of learning does not cause new cells to grow for memory storage. Instead, the change occurs within the brain's neurons. Learning results when the connections between neurons become stronger

Learning

Recall that neurons communicate using electrical signals. Neurons do not physically touch one another. Instead, there is a space between each neuron called a synapse over which the signal passes. As certain signals are used more frequently, the neurons become more efficient at moving signals across the synapse. This means that neurons get better at communicating with each other, which is why learning often requires practice and repetition to develop a quick recall of information.
