MEMORY !! :)
-------------------------

In chapter 9 memory I have learned a lot of fascinating things that i used to stop and wonder about before. Memory has been a very interesting chapter to me. Memory is the ability to remember something, some short-term and others long-term. Constructing a memory consists of encoding,storing and retrieving. It starts from sensory memory to short-term memory and if you repeat it or rehearse it it becomes a long-term memory. You can encode a memory by images, the best way to me is chunking :) because i recall information better when i organize it into meaningful units. This interesting chapter has helped me learned how to improve my memory also. There have been times where i cant even remember what I did the day before or what homework is due the next day. But now i know how to....i have to make the material important to me, recall events, study, rehearse, etc. Everyone's memory works differently. some people can recall events from years ago and others cant even recall what they had for breakfast. I've been able to recall events but only the ones that where the most significant or humorous to me.
