Memory is an action when information passes through three different stages: encoding, storage and retrieval. Encoding permits the recognize things to be changed and stored inside the brain and recollect later from short term or long term memory. All these stages decide whether information is remembered or forgotten. Moreover, there are also modes for memory such as: working memory, and long-term memory.
First, working (Short-term) memory is the boss; because it helps you repeat information several times and move it to the long term memory. Also it is more than thing working together, it may include central executive because in working memory you have all the information stored and it can take the decision of activating something or not, so

Working memory has a lot of importance on how learning can occur; it’s the key to learn in a better way. There are several ways children can use working memory to learn. Auditory and visual memories are types of working memory, auditory memory depend on hearing while visual memory depend on seeing these things can be perform in a video since when making video information in auditory and visual memory is stored for oneself and they can be used in any time we need them. In this way you don’t need pay attention to specific things when making a video because working memory is recording everything immediately. For example an English teacher in a class give the students an exercise to do about nouns, here kids will imagine all the rules or methods in order to solve it. If kids have weak working memory they will not solve it because they come with a solution so they have a difficulty in storing on the new information. Beside this, remembering instruction is a way children use working memory to learn. In fact, when kids are asked to do a specific exercise for example about transitions so they should remember the information they learned about it and the new information the teacher explained. If they have weak working memory they will not be able to do them both at the same time. So children will not be able to recall and remember information. Paying attention is a main role for children better learning in other words, when children focus …show more content…
Auditory working memory can help students listen and learn how words are spelled and visual working memory help students know things from its shape and recognize it later from the way it looks like. This can make students read every word or sentence they see so they will become fluent
Each person's memories are unique to each individual. There are specific regions in the brain that hold memories: the hippocampus, the neocortex, and the amygdala. These areas of the brain are responsible for the storage and retrieval of memory. Many psychologists used the terms “hardware” and “software” to describe the brain's memory system. Long-term memory includes memories of personal life events, facts, and information.
The evaluation of the working memory model has replaced the idea of a unitary (single part) STM as suggested by the multistore model. The working memory model is more details compare to the multistore model. It makes sense, of a range of tasks for example, reading, verbal reasoning, problem solving, comprehension, visual and spatial processing. And the model is supported by considerable experimental evidence. The working memory also can be applied to real life tasks such as problem solving (central executive), reading (phonological loop),) and navigation (visual and spatial processing).
How reliable are the two models or theories of the cognitive process of memory, “|…|the process of maintaining information over time” (Matlin, 2005) , known as the multistore model (MSM) and the levels of processing model (LOP)? Both of these models have been widely criticized, but simultaneously they have improved our knowledge and understanding of how the process of memory works. In this essay both of these models of memory will be evaluated by presenting the strengths and limitations of each. The first model, the multistore model, was put forward by Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) which suggests that the concept of memory involves three stores; the sensory stores, the short-term store (STS), and the long-term store (LTS).
Retrieval/Recall- This is the process that allows us to remember things by bringing the memory out of the “storage” to the forefront of the mind. There is also another step which
Then it is stored, when the encoded memory is distributed and stored in the brain. Finally, in retrieval the brain re-accesses the events or information from the past which have been encoded and stored. There are four, main categories of memory: Short-Term Memory can hold information up to 20 seconds and has a limited storage capacity. Long-Term Memory encodes new memories and helps to recall other short-term memories.
Theory This study also utilizes the cognitive load theory. This theory refers to the amount of information that working memory can hold at one time. This was developed by John Sweller in 1988. He said that instructional methods should avoid overloading with additional activities that don’t contribute to learning.
Scientists and psychologists have divided memory into three types; they are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory has the ability of retaining information for a very short period of time. For example, when he or she glance at something or someone for a couple of seconds or minutes and remembers what it looked like. Short-term memory is also known as primary or active memory. This means the information we are currently aware of or thinking about.
The visual portion of working memory helps with remembering what the words and letters look like. This helps with recognition later on of other words. Learning and adapting to these helpful parts of their memory assist children’s understanding tremendously. Nevertheless, their short attention span and still growing brain makes reading a challenge. We read to understand.
One of Turkle’s arguments is that students tend to choose hyper attention over deep attention as their default. I agree with this idea; some students choose hyper attention, which makes it difficult for them to multitask and focus. As my ECE teacher told the class, students do better if they read the textbook before they come and refresh their memory in class because information is easier to absorb when students are doing just one thing instead of doing multiple things at once. During one of the math sections, I was busy copying down all the algebraic equations on the board, but I discovered that I could not process the method and algorithm in solving the problem even though I copied it all down. I felt as though I was just transferring the information on the board to my paper.
Executive functioning is a term psychologists use to describe the many tasks our brains perform that are necessary to think, act, and solve problems. Executive functioning includes tasks that help us learn new information, remember and retrieve information
At first working memory has been described as short-term memory and has been known as temporary, brief storage for latest experiences (Atkinson and Shiffrin ,1968). However, Alan Baddeley proposed that working memory is an active capacity proccessing stored information and linking it with long-term memory. He also suggested model of working memory with free component – visuospatial sketchpad, central executive and pchonological loop. (Baddeley and Hitch, 1974).
Encourage active learning and use intrinsically motivating/rewarding stimuli. Recognize the feedback that students are giving and respect what the child is telling/ feeling either verbally or nonverbally. Select stimuli that are interesting to the children and motivate them for their active participation and give some supportive opinion for refinement. 6. Visual impairment often accomplished with other physical and psychological disorders.
For audio learners, the videos that are availed to them enables them to hear sounds. Books are there for the visual learners while workbooks make learning easy for the kinetic learners. The video games, which are interactive, are suitable for all the types of learners. This makes it advantageous to families that have may kids and prefer more than one learning style. Moreover, it can also enable you to figure out the learning mode that suits your child so that you concentrate on it.
“If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't”. (Pugh) . The brain is such a long-lasting mystery in every medical profession in the way it operates, commands and stores information. One of the main reasons I am interested in studying the human brain other than it being a mystery is because there is a lot of research potential and my main interest is in memory. There are two types of memory of the human brain, long term memory (LTM) and short-term memory (STM) or as many people call it working memory.
