The document discusses memory, intelligence, and states of mind. It describes memory as the mental faculty of retaining past experiences, and identifies three processes involved - encoding, retrieval, and storage. It notes we have three storage capabilities: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Long-term memory is divided into declarative, semantic, and episodic memory. The document also discusses theories of forgetting, including interference, retrieval failure, failure to store, and motivated forgetting. It defines intelligence as general cognitive problem-solving skills and describes relaxation and hypnosis in psychology.

1. Memory, Intelligence and
states of mind

2. Memory:
The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past
experience.
Process involved in
memory:
Enconding:
association with an
existing memory.
Retrieval: return
the information.
Storage: holding
onto information.
We have 3 storage
capabilities:
Sensory memory:
STM: limited capacity.
LTM: unlimited.
Subcategories of LTM:
Declarative Memory:
memory for facts,
information about our
enviroment.
Semantic Memory:
knowledge like the
meaning of words
Episodic Memory:
events and situations.

4. Forgetting
1. Interference
Proactive interference is when an old memory makes it more
difficult or impossible to remember a new memory, and
retroactive interference occurs when new information
interferes with your ability to remember previously learned
information.
2. Retrieval Failure
According to this theory, a memory trace is created every
time a new theory is formed. Decay theory suggests that over
time, these memory traces begin to fade and disappear.

5. 3. Failure to store
Sometimes, losing information has less to do with
forgetting and more to do with the fact that it never
made it into long-term memory in the first place.
4. Motivated Forgetting
The two basic forms of motivated forgetting are:
suppression, a conscious form of forgetting, and
repression, an unconscious form of forgetting.

6. INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence is defined as general cognitive problem-solving
skills. The German psychologist L. Wilhelm Stern was the
first to coin the term intelligence quotient (IQ), a figure derived
from the ratio of mental age to chronological age.
Intelligence has been defined in many different ways such as
in terms of one's capacity for logic, abstract thought,
understanding, self-awareness, communication, learning,
emotional knowledge, memory, planning, creativity and
problem solving.
It can also be more generally described as the ability to
perceive or retain knowledge and information.

7. Relaxation
In psychology is the emotional state of a living being, of low
tension, in which there is an absence of arousal that could
come from sources such as anger, anxiety, or fear.
The idea of relaxation in psychology became popular when
Dr.Edmund Jacobson published his book Progressive
Relaxation.
Relaxation refers to a focusing on the mind and a relaxing of the
body's muscles, including breathing exercises, deep muscle
relaxation, progressive muscle relaxation, imagery, meditation,
and yoga.

8. Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a very deep state of relaxation where your mind
is more focused and the connection between your thoughts,
emotions, and behaviors are clearer.
• 5 elements of hupnosis:
Induction, deepening, therapy, wakening, final thoughts
While one stream of consciousness responds to the
hypnotist’s suggestions, another dissociated stream
processes information outside of the hypnotized individuals
conscious awareness
