Cognitive Psychology

We learned about cognitive psychology and the components of a memory model. We learned about the sensory register, working memory, long term memory and everything in between. Everything we learn about memory and cognitive psychology is just a maybe or a probably because we do not know for certain.

It is important to know about memory and the best ways to remember so we can teach our students this way and also teach them skills so they can try out the best ways of remembering.

I will remember the best ways of encoding, meaningful learning, organization, elaboration, and visual memory and try to use them for myself now to help me remember things better but also i can use these techniques when i am a teacher and try to teach using these so the information will be embedded into the students memories. These are just better ways of teaching and learning new information.
