What is Chunking?

Severe memory loss.
What is Amnesia?

What is Automatic Processing?
200

What is the Serial-Position effect?
200
This is a strategy to help us remember things by associating them in form of songs or acronyms, among other ways. ROYGBIV is one such example.

What is procedural memory or implicit memory?

What is Source Amnesia ?

What is Effortful processing?
500
The theory that forgetting is caused by one memory competing with or replacing another.
What is the Interference Theory?
500
This is a level of encoding processing where we try understanding the meaning of words. It is the most effective way to retain information; more than auditory or visual encoding.
