Welcome to Memory, one of the units students find most applicable
to the academic and personal spheres of their daily lives as the information
in this unit can enhance their abilities to study and learn in general.
Memory is often defined as application of learning over time. How
does memory work? How much do we remember? How can we recall
more? How can we better remember to do tasks in the future? In addition
to answering these relevant questions, this unit lesson plan will present
research on the accuracy of memories, how memories can change,
implications for eyewitness testimony, and more. It will focus on the set
of systems that allow us to encode, store, and retrieve information. It will
present classic experiments of researchers such as Ebbinghaus, Sperling,
and Loftus. The unit is intended to enhance your textbook, providing
both content and critical thinking activities and exercises to facilitate
remembering about memory.
