Memory and Recall
Jensen, Chapter 15
Guys- Let’s see if you can
remember anything I
said on the first day of
class

• How memory works?– Process rather than location– Multiple memory locations and
systems– Retrieval process is what activates
dormant neurons to trigger memories• Memory is determined by the type of
retrieval process used
– One theory is that memories are frozen patterns waiting for a resonating signal to awaken them
• Situation of memory– Not one place specific– Well distributed in our cortex– Sounds = auditory cortex– Names, nouns and pronouns = temporal lobe– Amygdala = implicit negative memories– Basal ganglia = learned skills– Cerebellum = associative information and movement– Hyppocampus = spatial and other explicit memories
(speaking and reading memories)– Memories involve many senses– After a while parts of memory changes + or -
Remember “separate realities”
– Memory is always on call• We have indexes that contain the instructions (not
the content) for the brain to rekindle the contentconvergent zones
• Convergent zones unite the different contents (color, sound, etc) as they move through the retrieval process
• Long Term Potentiation (LTP)– Is the actual molecular process involved in the
formation of explicit memoriesstrength of synaptic connections
– It is mediated by genes– There is also a protein called CREB = tells the
brain to store the information in the long or short term memory
Adrenaline=neurotransmitter
Acetylcholine=neurotransmitter
Lecithin=Neurotrans-mitter
Norepinephrine=neurotransmitter
Phenylalanine=protein
Chemicals that ImpactMEMORY
Class, what is a neurotransmitter?
Memory Pathways
• Explicit– Semanticcontent– Episodiccontext
• Implicit– Proceduralautomatic behaviors that are
learned and you must think about them before you do them
– Reflexiveautomatic behaviors that take place without thinking about them
• Memory is State (Mood/Situation/Context) Dependent– Each mental, physical and emotional state binds up
information within a particular state– Emotions are learned while information is learned– Practical Applications
• Engage all five senses.• Discussions about learners’ feelings and emotions
regarding new learning.• Incorporate the new learning in some way to their own
personal life.• Use storyboards (like oversized comic strip panels) to
present key ideas• Make a video or audio tape: the more complex the better.• Use peg words to link numbers or pictures to an idea for
ease in recall.• Create or re-do a song with lyrics that represent new
learning.
Assessment
• Choose a concept that is presented in both text. – Explain reason for choosing – Compare them in terms of:
• Definition• Description• Application
– As a summary, develop your own theory on how will you teach the concept to a class like this.
