Memory is a system or process that stores what we learn for future use. Our memory has three basic functions: encoding, storing, and retrieving information.

What is the main idea of the Stroop effect? The brain’s reaction time slows when it must deal with conflicting information. In order to remember his lines for the play, Guy repeats his lines over and over again.

General Strategies to Assist with Information-processing and Memory Deficits

1. Allow extra classroom time to process information.
2. Allow extra time for tests.
3. Teach students how to “self-talk”
4. Helps them problem solve.
5. Helps them remember routines.

The three main stages of memory are encoding, storage, and retrieval. Problems can occur at any of these stages. The three main forms of memory storage are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

• Intention. A desire to learn and remember.
• Attention. Observing information, concentrating on details.
• Association. Organize and associate data.
• Retention. Practice.
• Recall. Remember, teach, and share information.
• 5 step memory process. Intention, Attention, Association, Retention, Recall.

MEMORIES fade quickly, as we all know too well. “All things being equal, it’s harder to remember things from a long time ago compared to more recent events,” says neuroscientist Marc Howard of Boston University. But forgetting doesn’t just happen by accident.

Reading strengthens your brain Using MRI scans, researchers have confirmed that reading involves a complex network of circuits and signals in the brain. As your reading ability matures, those networks also get stronger and more sophisticated.

The brain-stimulating activities from reading have shown to slow down cognitive decline in old age with people who participated in more mentally stimulating activities over their lifetimes. It also has shown a slower rate of decline in memory and other mental capacities.
