Memory Case

It is believed that short-term memory is where most cognitive processing takes place (Omrod, 2012). The behavior has received a little attention and now it has reached the working memory where active thinking actually occurs. The learned behavior is now being stored for a longer period of time, as it is being processed. It is different from sensory in its capacity because working memory has limited amounts of space. For this learned behavior to make it to long-term memory the adolescent must combine the new memory with something already sored in long-term memory. Long-term memory is perhaps the most complex component of the human memory system Procedural knowledge is stored in long term memory. So this is the final “resting place” of the adolescents learned behavior.

In storing social learning to long-term memory I used encoding, elaboration, and organization. Encoding is the retrieval of information made easier when learners engage in thought process similar to those they previously used when storing the information (Omrod, 2012). Encoding was used in storing social learning by connecting it to previously learned types of meaning. Then what was already learned was elaborate by embellishing and then storing the embellishing and then storing the embellished information. Finally I organized the information and directly connected it with an already learned behavior in turn storing it to long-term memory

A concept that I have recently forgotten is negative reinforcement. Concepts are forgotten for several different reasons One of the main reasons that I believe that I have forgotten this concept is because of inference, which is basically like confusion theory (Omrod, 2012). During this course, I have learned so many different concepts that it was just hard to remember this one. Decay is when information is not used regularly and it just disappears all together, negative reinforcement is not something that is incorporated in my everyday life so it
