  2. Memory and retention in learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_Retention_in...

    Memory is a site of storage and enables the retrieval and encoding of information, which is essential for the process of learning. [2] Learning is dependent on memory processes because previously stored knowledge functions as a framework in which newly learned information can be linked.

  3. Spacing effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacing_effect

    According to research conducted by Pyc and Rawson (2009), successful but effortful retrieval tasks during practice enhance memory in an account known as the retrieval effort hypothesis. Spacing out the learning and relearning of items leads to a more effortful retrieval which provides for deeper processing of the item.

  4. Context-dependent memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Context-dependent_memory

    In psychology, context-dependent memory is the improved recall of specific episodes or information when the context present at encoding and retrieval are the same. In a simpler manner, "when events are represented in memory, contextual information is stored along with memory targets; the context can therefore cue memories containing that contextual information". [1]

    Exercise, especially when it’s moderate to vigorous, was found in a large, long-term study to improve memory as well as overall cognition. Exercise helps your brain form more connections between ...

  6. Encoding specificity principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoding_specificity_principle

    He characterizes memory as an "active process of discrimination" [22] and proposes that we use cues to choose between several retrieval candidates. Increasing the encoding-retrieval match improves memory performance, he believes, but only because it increases the probability that distinctive features will come into play.

  7. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    The spacing effect is exploited to improve memory in spaced repetition flashcard training. Also relevant is the Zeigarnik effect, which states that people remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. The so-called Method of loci uses spatial memory to memorize non-spatial information. [148]

  8. Testing effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing_effect

    The testing effect (also known as retrieval practice, active recall, practice testing, or test-enhanced learning) [1] [2] [3] suggests long-term memory is increased when part of the learning period is devoted to retrieving information from memory. [4]

  9. Memory improvement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_improvement

    The hippocampus regulates memory function. Memory improvement is the act of enhancing one's memory. Factors motivating research on improving memory include conditions such as amnesia, age-related memory loss, people’s desire to enhance their memory, and the search to determine factors that impact memory and cognition.
