The Memory Of Memory And Memory
A fact that cannot be denied is that human beings rely on their memory a lot, not only to remember
special events or memorise facts that have been learned but also to recall processes and routines
executed on a daily basis. Memory can be defined as a system that processes information in the
mind, which consists of three stages; namely encoding, storage, and retrieval (Farlex Partner Medical
Dictionary, 2012). Encoding refers to the receiving and modification of an informational stimulus so
that it can be embedded in the memory. Storage is the next memory stage, in which information is
retained and kept available until it is needed again. Information is more likely to be stored in the
long term if it is continuously used and rehearsed. The...show more content...
The oldest recorded example of a mnemonic device is the method of loci, which was created back
in the Ancient Greek era (Robson, 2011). This method involves visual imagery by relating new
information to specific locations in a familiar place to a person. When this association is
established, a person can recall the new information relative to the landmarks of the familiar
location. Besides that, chunking is also another type of mnemonic device, in which a large piece of
information is broken down into smaller chunks. A theory by Jacobs (1890), as cited in Holt &
Lewis (2008), stated that the capacity of the short–term memory is about 5 to 9 chunks. Therefore,
chunking lengthy information into smaller sections can help the human brain to encode more
information at a higher rate, so that they can be stored easily. Other mnemonic devices include
acronyms, keyword method, and narrative chaining.
Mnemonic devices have been proven to work very well for memory enhancement. The information
learned via mnemonic devices tends to be remembered better for a longer period as compared to
other memorisation techniques such as rote learning. Rote learning refers to a method of
memorisation based on repetition without fully understanding or focusing on what is being
committed to memory (Stevens & Bernier, 2013). While most people believe that repetition is the
best way to remember information, the context of the
