Description
The three-store memory theory—an earlier theory of memory—suggested
that memory moved from sensory experience to a temporary store in the
brain. Once there, if attended to, it would be transferred to a
short-term memory store. If entered into a process called “rehearsal,”
this short-term memory would enter long-term storage.
The levels-of-processing theory of memory came into being in part as
an answer to the three-story theory. Rather than focusing on the
notions of storage and rehearsal, this theory emphasized the role of
process in the development of long-term memory. Theorists suggested
that memories are formed inherently through the cognitive processes
used to absorb information.
In this Discussion, you describe and analyze an occasion of long-term
memory loss that you experienced. You then explain how to improve
long-term memory function.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a brief description of an example of
long-term memory loss that you have experienced. Then explain your
long-term memory loss within the context of the three-store memory
theory and levels of processing memory theory. Finally, explain
strategies you might use to improve your long-term memory function.
