Memory

Project description

You have probably noticed in your educational career that some people

are very good at remembering facts and therefore do well at tests that require memorization. To understand how memory works, this exercise will ask you to trace the memory system from stimuli to long-term memory.

Use your text book and research from the Internet to learn the process of memory – from beginning to end. Your description should include the following:

· Identification and description of each step in the human memory

· Discussion of factors that enhance or impede information flow

in each step of the process

· Explanation of proactive and retroactive interference and how you

might counteract their effects while studying in order to facilitate

maximum retention via long-term memory

· Explanation of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies

that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval

Submit this in the form of a 4 – 5 page paper. You can use illustrations to demonstrate the process. Be sure to document your references using the APA format.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials. Please use the APA format for this assignment. For example, the tittle page, line spacing, page numbering, in-text citations and references must conform to APA requirements
