Real Life Application Of memory concepts
Memory is the ability to encode, store, and retrieve a stimulus. However, memory is not very strong and may be affected by many factors including how alert the individual is and how long the stimulus interacts with the individual. Three techniques that can help an individual remember a certain stimulus are the usage of mnemonics, being aware of state dependent memory, and the method of loci of a stimulus. These concepts of memory will help with memory and can be used in real life application.
Mnemonics is a way that helps individuals remember a series of information in steps by using something that easily remembered compared to the initial stimulus. Mnemonics are a fun way of remembering information that may seem overwhelming at first. One way that I have used this method of retrieval is through the use of an acronym such as remembering that the colors of the rainbow consist of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet in that order by remembering ROY G BIV, or That King Philip Cried Over Fat Girl Singing can be applied in Biology by helping me remember the order of classification of species ( Kingdom, Phylum, Cordata, Order, Genius, Species). This technique helps me because I am able to associate new information with information that I am well accustomed to.
