Memory
We decided to research the science behind memory to determine what memories stay with us throughout the phases of life. Memory is any sign that learning has continued over time. We came across such a thing as flashbulb memories. These memories are attached to emotional moments or events, which are different from most other memories in their clarity. We memorize information more easily when we put it into meaningful chunks. This is known as chunking. We have a photographic memory for a few moments as well, which is known as iconic memory. Memory is like a computer’s information-processing system. Here are the phases.
First, it translates input into an electronic language.
Next, encoding takes place, which is what moves the information into our brain.
Thirdly, storage retains the information, and lastly, retrieval occurs to retrieve the information in the future.
Richard Shiffrin, who discovered the three-stage processing model of memory, believes that we register some information automatically, bypassing the first two stages of processing model. There is a major difference between this automatic processing and effortful processing. Automatic processing involves encoding information about space, frequency, and time. Effortful processing produces durable memories. The Serial position effect institutes that the last and first items are remembered better than the middle. Perhaps, we can interpret this by saying that by the time one is ready to move on, after their last phase of life, they will have remembered their first phase and last phase of life the greatest, opposed to the middle.
