MemoryWhat is memory?
LO1. Describe the difference between short and
long term memory and techniques to improve memory

• The ability to store and retrieve information.

2 Types of memory
How long does STM last?
How long does LTM last?

• SHORT term memory (STM) and LONG term memory
  (LTM).
• STM last 30 seconds
• LTM could last a lifetime.

7
Short term working memory
LO1. Describe the difference between short and
long term memory and techniques to improve memory

• Everything you do or learn is first recorded in
  STM.
• Alzheimer's disease damages STM neurons.
• What happens if you get brain damage in your STM
  area?

8
Test your STM
LO1. Describe the difference between short and
long term memory and techniques to improve memory

• In pairs
• 1 shows 2 a picture card for 2min.
• 2 writes as many pictures as can remember.
• gt7 means excellent STM!
• STM also depends on your level of attention

Can you remember the number from earlier? Why/Why
not?
9
Long term memory
LO1. Describe the difference between short and
long term memory and techniques to improve memory

• A lasting store with no limit.
• Improve LTM
• - Seeing/finding patterns
• - Relate it to what you know.

10
Improve your Memory
LO1. Describe the difference between short and
long term memory and techniques to improve memory

• This time, make a story from the pictures.
• 1 shows 2 a different card for 2mins
• 1min to write what you remember.
• Chunking info or making it meaningful makes it
  easier to store.

Did you remember more?

12
How do you revise?
LO1. Describe the difference between short and
long term memory and techniques to improve memory

• Task
• Write a list of the methods you use to revise.
• Include at least three

Instead of bullet points write each method on
the left of a line like this.

pattern.

Objectives

• Outcome
• To understand how we store and retrieve
  information.

1. Describe the difference between short and long
   term memory and techniques to improve memory
   (Grade C)
2. Interpret the strengths and weaknesses of the
   multi-store model. (Grade B)
3. Explain the implications of sensitive period to
   neglected children (Grade A/A)

17
Improving your memory
LO2. Interpret the strengths and weaknesses of
the multi-store model

• Techniques
• Repetition/ Rehearsal Read over and over and
  over OR read sections and make notes. Visualise
  notes in exam.
• Stimulus Strength Do something! Use a
  highlighter to pick out main points!
• Creating Patterns /Active memory Link ideas to
  other memories .

Use bridge maps to show how your revision
strategies match memory tricks.
18
Memory models
LO2. Interpret the strengths and weaknesses of
the multi-store model

• Memory models try to explain how memory works

19
Memory models
LO2. Interpret the strengths and weaknesses of
the multi-store model

• Can this model explain
• 1. Not remembering a dream?
• 2. Déjà vu?
• 3. Tip of your tongue?

Objectives

• Outcome
• To understand how we store and retrieve
  information.

   term memory and techniques to improve memory

2. Interpret the strengths and weaknesses of the
   multi-store model. (Grade B)
3. Explain the implications of sensitive period to
   neglected children (Grade A/A)

21
LO3 - Explain the implications of sensitive
period to neglected children
Learning as you grow
From birth - age 3 brain makes lots of new
synapses
As you grow, the brain removes unused synapses to
improve efficiency.
Adolescence - brain has a major tidy-up, getting
rid of unused connections .
Which means.. USE IT OR LOSE IT
22
Sensitive PeriodsUse it or lose it
LO3 - Explain the implications of sensitive
period to neglected children

• Sensitive periods for learning certain skills.
• Neuron pathways are pruned after these periods.
• The skill can never be learnt in the same way.

• Sensitive Periods
• Language (lt6y)
• Ordering - (lt3y)
• Social skills - (2.5-6y)
• Sensory (lt4y)

So what happens if you are separated from people
in our early years?

• Feral Children
• Children deprived of human
• interaction.

Sensitive PeriodsUse it or lose it
LO3 - Explain the implications of sensitive
period to neglected children

• Task
• Annie was a neglected child. She did not
  socialise with other children until she started
  school at 6.
• What problems do you think she might have in
  school?
• Why might she find it difficult to learn the same
  skills as other children?
• EXT e. What major change happens in the brain
  that makes it harder to learn language and
  develop of social skills after childhood?

Language, sensory skills, motor skills, social
skills
Unused neuron pathways have been removed from her
brain
Pruning of neuron pathways/connections/synapses
required to learn these skills
25

• Outcome
• To understand how we store and retrieve
  information.

• Sensitive period
• Neuron pathway
• Pruning
• Short term memory
• Long term memory
• Repetition/Chunking/Stimulus strength
• Multi-storage memory model
