3. Encoding is how memories are created; storage is the process by which
memories are retained; retrieval is how that information is used in the
future
5. Interference theory, decay theory, aging, stress, lack of sleep
8. Working memory (7-9 items). Often used with lists, sequences.
9. Decay theory  as we no longer use information, it is forgotten;
Interference theory  old learning is ‘pushed out’ by new learning.
10. If we do not rehearse, or practice, new learning then it will not be
transferred into longer-term memory.
11. Primacy  information learned at the beginning of a list or sequence is
transferred into longer-term memory; Recency information learned at
the end of a list is still accessible via short-term memory

12. Chunking information involves grouping similar information together so
that there are fewer ‘items’ to remember: Ex: remembering 1918 instead of
1 and 9 and 1 and 8. Chunks are created by the brain organizing
information
17. Chunking and reorganization help the memory by encoding fewer items
into memory, thereby aiding in recall
18. Mnemonics are cues that are used to remember lists/complex patterns
of information (Ex: ROY G. BIV for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo,
and Violet in the rainbow)
28. Interference theory  new information clouds out old; Decay 
Unused information is forgotten
36. Eyewitness testimony is not always reliable, memory recall does not
always match past events
