Getting information to our brain and finding meaning.

The process of encoding information based on visual elements, such as images or spatial relationships.

The process of encoding information through sound, particularly the sound of words or auditory patterns.

Conceptual encoding, taking in information in connection to the context in which it is presented within. Reflects the intended structure and meaning of words, numbers, etc.

Taking in new information contextually and already matching it to previously known material, initiation of masking. The first steps towards assimilation vs. accommodation.

A mnemonic device that associates information with specific locations in a familiar space.

Information encoding strategy that combines smaller pieces of information into larger, meaningful units.

Distributing learning over time leads to better long-term retention as it allows time for memory consolidation and strengthens neural connections.

Serial Position Effect

Predicts that information presented at the beginning of a list or the end of a list will be more memorable than information presented in the middle of the list.

Tendency to remember items at the beginning of a list better. Occurs because early items receive more rehearsal and processing.

Tendency to remember items at the end of a list better. Occurs because later items are still active in working memory.
