Introduction
 WHAT IS MEMORY?
 ability to store and retrieve information
 indication that learning has persisted over time
 Matlin , Memory is the process of maintaining
information over time.
 Sternberg, Memory is the means by which we draw
our past experiences in order to use this information in
present.
 3 stages are involved in memory process :
 Encoding: information is converted into a form that can
be converted into memory.
 Storage: information is retained in memory
 Retrieval : information stored in memory is located.
Factors affecting memory
 Factors that Influence Memory Process in Humans
are as follows: Ability to retain
 Good health
 Age of the learner
 Maturity
 Will to remember
 Intelligence
 Interest
 Speed of learning
 Meaningfulness of the material
 Sleep or rest.
Memory  a mass of tissue formed as a res
Types of memory
 Sensory memory
 shortest-term element of memory.
 The ability to look at an item for a second and then
remember what it looked like.
 processed approximately 200-500 milliseconds
 It is bought to us by our senses
 types of memory:
 Iconic memory
 Visual
 100 ms
 Echoic memory
 sound
 3-4 seconds
Short term memory
 It is temporary and short lived.
 Also called as recent memory/working memory.
 Retention time is longer than sensory memory.
 It may be long as 30 second or more.
 It has 3 main characteristics :
 Brief duration can only last upto 20 seconds
 Its capacity is limited to 7 plus minus 2 chunks of
independent information (millers law) and is vulnerable
to interference and interpretation
 Its weakening (due to reasons such as medication,
sleep deprivation, a stroke or head injury) and is the first
step to memory loss.
LONG TERM MEMORY
 Durable or endless retention of the sensory impressions.
 Also called as permanent memory.
 The span of attention is better
 Identifying data like our name, parentage, date of birth, date
of marriage, etc.
 Co relational with events and information.
 TYPES OF LONG TERM MEMORY
 Explicit memory
 Implicit memory
EXPLICIT MEMORY
 It is the conscious, intentional recollection of factual
information, previous experiences and concepts.
 Explicit memory can be divided into two categories:
 episodic memory, which stores specific personal
experiences, and
 semantic memory, which stores factual information
Factors affecting episodic memory
 Retrieval cues : stimulus that are associated with
information stored in memory and so can help bring the
information to mind at times when it cannot be recalled
spontaneously
 Context dependent memory :refers to the fact that
information entered into memory in one context or
setting is easier to recall in that context than in others
 State dependent retrieval : occurs when aspects of our
physical states serve as retrieval cues for information
stored in memory
 .
CONTINUE
 Implicit memory is one of the two main types of long-
term human memory.
 Is acquired and used unconsciously
 One of its most common forms is procedural memory,
which helps people performing certain tasks
 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY
 Memory system consisting of episodes recollected
from an individual's life
 Combination of episodic and semantic memory.
 Type of explicit memory
George sperlings experiment
 Showed a series of letters
on a computer screen to
participants.
 Letters were visible on the
screen for a fraction of a
second
 However, few were able to
identify more than four or
five letters.
 The results of these
experiments suggested that
the human visual system is
capable of retaining
information even if the
exposure is very brief. The
Working memory models
 Atkinson and Shiffrin model
Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch model
 Four components of this model
 Central executive:
 complete control of the actions of the other components
 ability to store information but its capacity is limited
 Phonological loop
 contains the articulatory control system (inner voice)
and the phonological store (inner ear) - (not the
physical ear canals)
 revives memory traces with all auditory information
believed to directly enter the phonological store.
 An example of this involves people who hear their
favorite music in their mind.

 The Visuo-Spatial
Sketchpad
 hold visual information
 eyes are used to store
and manipulate visual
and spatial information
such as remembering
colors or shapes
 Episodic Buffer
 26 years after the
original working memory
model
 link together every
piece of information
Metacognition
 Metacognition refers to thinking about thinking and
was introduced as a concept in by John Flavell, who is
typically seen as a founding scholar of the field.
 Ability to control thinking processes through various
strategies, such as organizing, monitoring, and adapting.
 considered a critical component of successful learning
 involves self-regulation and self-reflection of strengths,
weaknesses, and the types of strategies you create
 Tip of the tongue(TOT)
 TOT phenomenon is the subjective feeling that people
have of being confident that they know the target word for
which they are searching, yet they cannot recall this
word.
 They are somewhat able to recall words of similar sounds
Scales for assessment
 The Wechsler Memory ScaleThird Edition (WMS-
III)
 The WMS-III consists of eight primary indexes that
describe immediate memory, general memory, and
working memory in visual and auditory forms.
 P.G.I. Memory scale
 developed by Risha Bhattacharya and Harjeet kaur
 AIIMS Neuropsychological Battery by Surya Gupta
 Demonstrates brain - behavior relationship.
Brain and memory
 The hippocampus: transfers from short- to long-term
memory and control of spatial memory and behaviour.
 The amygdala also performs a primary role in the
processing and memory of emotional reactions and social
and sexual behaviour, as well as regulating the sense of
smell.
 MEMORY DISORDERS
 Normal ageing : Negative relation between age and
performance test on memory
 Alzheimer disease: Poor retention and rapid forgetting.
 Frontal lobe dementia: occurs within the cortex , poor
retention , organization, flexibility and ability sustain
attention is disturbed and learning strategy are
insufficient.
Continue
 Anterograde amnesia: the inability to store in
long term memory information that occurs after an
amnesia inducing event. Retrograde amnesia :
loss of memory that occur prior to amnesia
inducing event.
 Amnesic korsakoffs syndrome: inability to
encode information and is caused by long term
abuse of alcohol; often involves profound
retrograde amnesia
Conclusion
 Memory is the faculty of the brain by which data
or information is encoded, stored and retrieved
when needed . Memory is one of the most
important things to our life. It helps us to improve
our ability to understand the world.
