Training manual sample
Below are some extracts from our Improve your Memory manual.
Types of Memory and how they work
Memory is a complex and multifaceted system
with different types that play distinct roles in how we process, store, and
retrieve information. Sensory memory captures brief sensory impressions,
short-term and working memory handle information temporarily and actively,
long-term memory stores information over extended periods, and prospective
memory focuses on future tasks and intentions. Each type of memory contributes
to our ability to navigate daily life and accomplish tasks effectively.
Understanding different types of memory is
essential for grasping how we process, store, and retrieve information.
Sensory
Memory
Sensory memory is the very short-term storage
of sensory information from the environment. It retains sensory impressions for
a brief period, allowing us to process and decide what to focus on.
Examples:
Iconic Memory: This involves visual stimuli. Information is retained for a fraction of
a second to a few seconds.
·
Example: When you see a flash of lightning, the afterimage you still “see” for a
brief moment is stored in your iconic memory.
Echoic Memory: This involves auditory stimuli. Sounds are retained for about 2-4
seconds.
·
Example: If someone says something to you, and you can still recall the last few
words they said even after they’ve stopped talking, you’re using your echoic
memory.
Short-Term
Memory (STM)
Short-term memory holds information for a
short period, usually around 15-30 seconds. It has limited capacity, often
described as holding about 7±2 items.
Examples:
Phone Number: When you look up a phone number and keep it in mind long enough to dial
it, you’re using your short-term memory. If you don't write it down, it might
be forgotten quickly.
Remembering a List: If someone gives you a short list of items to remember for a few
minutes, such as a grocery list, you use your short-term memory to recall it.
Working
Memory
Working memory is an active form of short-term
memory that involves manipulating and using information held temporarily. It is
essential for reasoning, learning, and comprehension.
Examples:
Central Executive: This component directs attention and coordinates information from other
systems.
·
Example: When solving a math problem, the central executive helps manage and
organise the steps involved.
Phonological Loop: This handles verbal and auditory information.
·
Example: Repeating a phone number to yourself to remember it long enough to dial
is utilising the phonological loop.
Visuospatial Sketchpad: This manages visual and spatial information.
·
Example: Mentally visualising a map to find a route to a destination involves
the visuospatial sketchpad.
Episodic Buffer: This integrates information from various sources into a coherent
episode or event.
·
Example: Remembering a conversation and the context in which it happened
combines auditory details and situational context.
Long-Term
Memory (LTM)
Long-term memory stores information for
extended periods, from hours to a lifetime. It has a virtually unlimited
capacity and includes various types of memories.
Examples:
Explicit Memory (Declarative Memory): This involves conscious recollection of facts and events.
Semantic Memory: Stores factual information and general knowledge.
·
Example: Knowing that Paris is the capital of France is a semantic memory.
Episodic Memory: Stores personal experiences and specific events.
·
Example: Remembering your last birthday party and the people who attended is an
episodic memory.
Implicit Memory (Non-Declarative Memory): This involves unconscious memory that influences behaviour and skills
without conscious awareness.
·
Example: Knowing how to ride a bicycle or play a musical instrument involves
procedural memory.
Priming: Involves
being influenced by previous exposure to stimuli, affecting future behaviour or
perception.
·
Example: Seeing a commercial for a product might make you more likely to buy it
later, even if you don’t remember the commercial explicitly.
Conditioned Responses: Involves learned associations between stimuli and responses.
·
Example: Feeling anxious when hearing a dentist’s drill because of past negative
experiences involves conditioned responses.
Prospective
Memory
Prospective memory involves remembering to
perform a planned action or recall a future intention.
Examples:
·
Remembering
Appointments: Keeping track of a doctor’s appointment or a
meeting.
·
Daily
Tasks: Remembering to take medication at a specific
time or to send a follow-up email after a meeting.
Autobiographical
Memory
Autobiographical memory is a type of episodic
memory that includes personal experiences and events from one’s life, often
encompassing both specific episodes and general life events.
Examples:
·
Life
Milestones: Recalling details from significant life
events, such as graduating from school or your first job.
·
Personal
Stories: Remembering personal anecdotes or family
history.
