One factor that can enhance information flow in memory is whether or not we are paying attention to stimuli around us. If we are paying attention to our environment, we are much more likely to remember distinct things occurring. Distractions can greatly impede information flow. These factors have to do with the step of acquiring information. Another factor that can impede memory would be an error in the way we think of something. This is more about the step to do with storage. if, for example, one is incorrect in thinking about something a certain way, then when trying to retrieve the information -- it is not there (because it was thought about incorrectly). This can become both an error in the storage and the retrieval steps.

Proactive interference happens when a person can't learn something new because there is something old that has been learned and is getting in the way. Older memories get in the way of newer memories. Retroactive interference happens when something old is forgotten because a person learns something new. Newer memories get in the way of older memories (McLeod 2008). Counteracting proactive and retroactive effects can be tricky, but it can be done. One can avoid studying similar things at the same time in order to counteract confusion. Timing in learning things can make the difference in remembering something or not. it'll be easier for something to transfer into the long-term...

One must rehearse the information in order for it to stick and for it to be able to be transferred to the long-term memory. According to the Trace Decay Theory of Forgetting, it isn't the events between learning and remembering something that have an effect on remembering, but it's the amount of time that the person has retained information in the first place (McLeod 2008). This means that if we want to remember something, it is important that we rehearse it so that it stays in the short-term memory so that recollection will be possible.

Capsule from the 1960's Peers, colleagues, and supporters: this is one of what will presumably become several reports about this time capsule from the 1960s, nearly four centuries ago. I am honored and deeply intrigued by the items found within this time capsule. Hopefully, those of us who are aware of the time capsule will gain a deeper understanding of where humanity comes from, in which directions it might be

Memory and Forgetting: A Comprehensive Analysis Memory loss is a huge problem in an aging population. No substantive cure for memory loss. Forgetfulness does not always accompany aging. Different types of memory loss: Forgetfulness Dementia Alzheimer's Confusion The memory impairment that comes with aging may be due to confusion as well as memory loss. Memory loss and forgetfulness may be preventable. There are a number of different approaches to reducing forgetfulness Background music Categorization Control Daily behavioral changes The goal of the paper began as a

1960's through the 1980's (and Beyond) The chosen historical event is actually a 4 1/2-year phenomenon: Kenneth Starr's extensive investigation of President and Mrs. William Clinton, culminating in the impeachment of President Clinton. Given the leeway of choosing an event from later than the 1960s through the 1980s, an event was chosen from the 1990s. The choice was not necessarily made due to the writer's relative youth but due to

Women Are Portrayed in Late

(269) It would seem that the artists and the press of the era both recognized a hot commodity when they saw one, and in this pre-Internet/Cable/Hustler era, beautiful women portrayed in a lascivious fashion would naturally appeal to the prurient interests of the men of the day who might well have been personally fed up with the Victorian morals that controlled and dominated their lives otherwise. In this regard, Pyne
