Memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. There are three main types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information is encoded through the senses and either quickly decays or is transferred to short-term memory. Short-term memory has limited capacity and relies on rehearsal for information to be transferred to long-term memory, where it can last a lifetime. There are different ways information can be forgotten, such as through passive decay, retrieval failure, or neurological damage.
The study of human memory has been a subject of science and philosophy for thousands of years and has become one of the major topics of interest within cognitive psychology.
But what exactly is memory? How are memories formed? The following overview offers a brief look at what memory is, how it works and how it is organized.

Memory is the term given to the structures and processes involved in the storage and subsequent retrieval of information.
Memory is essential to all our lives. Without a memory of the past we cannot operate in the present or think about the future. We would not be able to remember what we did yesterday, what we have done today or what we plan to do tomorrow.
Without memory we could not learn anything.
Memory is involved in processing vast amounts of information.
This information takes many different forms, e.g. images, sounds or meaning.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Memory
• Amount of previously learned material that has
been retained
• Involves (1) encoding, (2) storage, and (3)retrieval
• Memory is a net, not a bucket
• Memory = retention
6. Memory
• Sensory registers
o Encoding of information retrieved through senses
o Holds information about a stimulus only a few
seconds at best
o Iconic (visual) memory
o Echoic (auditory) memory
o Haptic (cutaneous) memory
7. Memory
• Short-term memory (STM)
o STM takes over when information in sensory
memory transferred to consciousness/awareness
o Limited capacity
o STM memories easy to access and retrieve
10. How is information stored in STM?
1) Primacy effect – information occurring first is
remembered better than information
occurring later
2) Recency effect – information presented last is sometimes
remembered better because not as
much time has passed
3) Serial position effect – information most likely to be
remembered is what comes first and
and last, while what is most likely to
be forgotten is whatever is crowded
in the middle
11.
12. How is information stored in STM?
4) Frequency effect – rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal
5) Distinctiveness – any distinctive information stands out
from other information around it and
is remembered better
6) Associations – associating/attaching information
to other information
13. Memory
• Long-term memory (LTM)
o Enduring
o May last a lifetime
o Unlimited capacity?
o LTM memories harder to access/retrieve
14. Memory
• Subcategories of LTM
o Declarative memory = Memories for facts, life events,
information about environment
• Semantic memory = Factual knowledge about world
(names, dates, #s)
• Episodic memory = Tied to specific events, situations
(“flashbulb memories”)
15. Memory
• Subcategories of LTM (con’t)
o Implicit memory = Memories expressed in behavior
but do not require conscious
recollection
• Procedural memory = “How to” knowledge of
procedures or skills (ride a
bike, tie a shoe, drive a car)
o Prospective memory = Remembering things that
need to be done in the future
(“remembering to remember”)
16. Forgetting
• Passive decay
o Memory loss associated with lack of use
o Can occur in LTM
• Encoding failure
o Information never consolidated beyond initial sensory
register stage
17. Forgetting
• Retrieval failure
o Difficulty accessing LTM
o “Tip of the tongue” phenomenon
• Repression
o Unconscious motive to forget an emotionally
traumatic memory
o Pain/trauma of some experience creates a mental
block preventing retrieval of that memory
18. Forgetting
• Retrograde amnesia
o Inability to recall memories of the past (The Bourne Identity)
o Can form new LTM
• Anterograde amnesia
o Inability to form new LTM (Memento)
o New events contained in STM are not transferred to LTM
memory
19. Forgetting
• Causes of amnesia
o Damage to hippocampus
o Acute stress
o Neurodegenerative causes
• Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s
21. Memory
• Improving memory
o Mnemonics
• Adding additional cues for retrieval
• Acronyms = PEMDAS, GRE, Roy G. Bv
• “Geography” = George Eagle’s Old Grandmother
Rode A Pig Home Yesterday
o Eidetic images
• Pairing semantic memories w/visual cues
o Method of loci
22. Memory
• Best practices for improving memory
o Spaced practice
o Sleeping right after learning
o Mood congruence
o Environmental restructuring
