3-3’s of Memory
1. Three Kinds/Types of Memory
2. Three Processes of Memory
3. Three Stages of Memory
1). Three Kinds/Types of Memory
Episodic Memory:
A memory of a specific event
Flashbulb Memory: A vivid,
detailed memory of a
surprising, emotional event
The forest animals
have a flashbulb
memory of the day
when Bambi’s
mother was shot.
Episodic Memory
Jill Price has perfect episodic memory.
Would this be a blessing or a curse?

1). Three Kinds/Types of Memory
Generic/Semantic Memory:
General Knowledge that we have
but don’t remember when we
acquired it.
1). Three Kinds/Types of Memory
Procedural Memory
Consists of the skills or procedures we have
learned.
Often a procedural memory consists of a
complicated sequence of movements that
cannot be described adequately in words.
Once a procedural memory is formed it
usually stays with you a long time– perhaps
a lifetime.
Many activities require all types of
memory.
Example: Playing the game of tennis
Generic/Semantic Memory: Knowing
the rules of the game, knowing how many
sets it takes to win.
Episodic Memory: Knowing who served
last.
Procedural Memory: Knowing how to lob
or volley the ball
Now you try it.
Generic/Semantic Memory:
Episodic Memory:
Procedural Memory:
PEG is kind!
This is a memory cue for the three kinds/types of
memory.
P=Procedural
E=Episodic
G=Generic/Semantic
Kind=Kinds of Memory
2). Three Processes of Memory
Encoding:
The
processing of information into the
memory system, for example by extracting
meaning.
We
can encode information visually,
acoustically or semantically.
Which method of encoding do you think is the
most effective?
2). Three Processes of Memory
Storage:
 The
maintenance of encoded information over
time. (Keeping it in your memory)
2). Three Processes of Memory
Retrieval:
The
process of getting information out of
memory.
A library is an analogy of the
three processes of memory
Encoding: Acquiring the books
Storage: Cataloging the books and keeping
them on the shelf
Retrieval: Making it available to the user
A computer is another analogy
Encoding:
Storage:
Retrieval:
Now you try it. Come up with your
own analogy. Be creative!
Encoding:
Storage:
Retrieval:
Draw a picture of a penny
What is a good memory cue to
help remember the Three
Processes of Memory?
3). Three Stages of Memory
Sensory Memory:
 Consists
of the immediate, initial
recording of information that enters
through our senses
Solve the following problem
without writing anything
down.
765
x 4
3). Three Stages of Memory
Short-Term/Working Memory:
Holds a few items (7 plus or minus 2) briefly
(about 20 seconds) before the information is
either stored or forgotten

3). Three Stages of Memory
Long-Term Memory:


This memory system is presumed to be
without limit, both in capacity to store
information and in duration of that which is
stored.
In order to get information into long-term
memory you must rehearse the information.

4). Ways of Measuring Memory
Recognition:
Identifying objects or events that have been
encountered before
It is the easiest of the memory tasks
Examples:
4). Ways of Measuring Memory
Recall:
The learner has to reconstruct the entire
stored material
Usually yields a lower amount than
recognition
Examples:
4). Ways of Measuring Memory
Recognition:
The learner has to identify the material as
something that has been encountered before
Is the easiest of the memory tasks
Examples:
4). Ways of Measuring Memory
Relearning:
A procedure for studying memory or retention in
which the effort required to learn the material a
second time is compared with the effort needed on
the initial learning experience.
If it takes less time and effort to learn the material a
second time, then there must be material that was
retained in the memory system
Examples:
5) Ways of Improving Memory

Drill and Practice (Maintenance Rehearsal)
Repetition

Examples?

Disadvantages?
5) Ways of Improving Memory

Elaborative Rehearsal:



The learner connects the new information to
information already stored in the memory
system
Examples?
Elaborative rehearsal is more effective than
maintenance rehearsal for keeping
information in long term memory
5) Ways of Improving Memory

Mnemonic Devices:
 Catchwords, jingles or phrases to help
you recall a particular fact
 Examples: ROY G. BIV (to remember
the visual spectrum and descending
wavelengths)
Other Examples of Mnemonic
Devices?



HOMES (for remembering the Great
Lakes)
Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey
My Very Elegant Mother Just Served Us
NOTHING!!! (for remembering the planets
and their distance from the sun)
Disadvantages of Mnemonic
Devices?


They may be too time consuming to
develop.
If you rely solely on the mnemonic device
you may make errors.
5) Ways of Improving Memory
 Primacy
and Recency Effect:
 Primacy
Effect
 The
tendency to recall the initial items in a
series of items better than the middle
items.
 Recency
 The
Effect
tendency to recall the last item in a
series of items better than the middle
items.
How can knowing about
the primacy and recency
effect help maximize the
time you spend
studying?

Ways of
measuring
memory
There are 3 3/s of memory. They
are 3 kinds of memory, 3 stages of
memory and 3 processes of
memory. There are also 3 ways of
measuring memory. The ways you
can improve memory are by using
the primacy and recency effect, drill
and practice (maintenance
rehearsal), elaborative rehearsal,
and mnemonic devices.
