To be presented with so many pieces of information daily, the struggle to retain information plagues everyone. Why do we forget information that we try so hard to remember? Thorough case studies have been performed and a few prevailing theories about why this is and ways to reduce habits of forgetting have emerged.

substantially. This idea of retroactive interference dates back to the 1900s and new ideas and theories have been built upon it since. The findings in these articles strongly indicate that patients with anterograde amnesia are better able to form new long-term memory traces than previously presumed. Future research on this topic would lead to a greater variety of discoveries and establish newer memory training methods.

of the human mind calls for a need for classroom teachers to have an understanding of the factors pertaining to effective learning and retention by pupils. Memory and recall can be influenced in various ways by abilities of sensory, working and long term memory; existing knowledge; and metacognitive processes. It is the aim of teachers to assist students in utilising these processes to the best of their ability. Among some ways this can be achieved are by providing opportunity to make mnemonic associations

Braddeley (1992) “The term working memory refers to a brain system that provides temporary storage and manipulation of the information necessary for such complex cognitive tasks as language comprehension, learning, and reasoning”. Working memory has been found to require the simultaneous storage and processing of information.

done today or what we plan to do tomorrow. Without memory we could not learn anything. Memory is involved in processing vast amounts of information. This information takes many different forms, such as images, sounds or meaning. For psychologists the term memory covers three important aspects of information processing. These aspects are encoding, storage, and retrieval. When information comes into our memory system, it needs to be changed into a form that the system can cope with, so that it can be

Exploring the Brain – Memory and Learning EDGR 535 – Theories of TCHNG/LRNING Danielle Rivera Exploring the brain and all of its facets is such an intriguing topic– ranging from understanding brain development, to being enlightened about visual processing, touch and pain, and acquiring knowledge about learning, memory and language. In my opinion, one of the most fascinating things about the brain is that “the brain has multiple memory systems supported by distinct brain regions.” (P.25). This

Because it is so difficult to research and seems to have no deleterious effects on daily and long-term nervous system function, déjà vu has been left largely to the wayside of neurobiological investigation. In all of its ambiguity, déjà vu is still a perplexing phenomenon that has not yet been fully explained. The value of truly understanding the
