Memory
All of us tend to forget things:
- You forget to stop at the store on your way home.
- You cannot remember how to solve a quadratic equation, even though you cannot imagine why you want to.
- You cannot remember whose face is on the $10 bill.
These are just three examples of the different types of forgetting we do.
For this discussion:
- Describe two examples of forgetting you have experienced.
- Identify and state what type of memory was involved for each example: sensory, short-term, or long-term.
- Describe for each example which one of the concepts from your
readings may explain what happened when you forgot:
- Encoding failure.
- Decay.
- Disuse.
- Lack of memory cues.
- Interference.
Response Guidelines
Provide substantive responses to the initial posts of at least two other learners. Contribute to the conversation by asking questions, respectfully debating positions, or responding freely to the topic at hand. Your responses should reference assigned readings as well as other academic references that support your views and writings. Use APA (6th edition) style and formatting for citing references.
Note: As you read through the posts of your peers, you might find opinions and value sets that differ from your own. Remember to be respectful of others' opinions and value perspectives.
