more phase 2 stuff

Encoding: this lets a particular item of topic to be converted into something else that can be easier stored within our brains so we can recall later from it for short term or long term problems
Ebbinghaus’retention curve: can also be called the forgetting curve that shows the decline of our memory retention in time.
Spacing Effect: that humans and animals more easily remember or learn things (as a list) when they are studied a few times over a long period of time rather than studied repeatedly in a short period of time
What we encode: we encode memories (these comes in words, sounds, images or anything else we encounter that is possible)
Kinds of encoding: visual encoding: encoding images and visuals ; acoustic encoding: processing and encoding of things that are sound or works and those types ; semantic encoding: encoding of sensory input
Levels of processing: the different levels of encoding and that shows how well the memory or information is remembered
Imagery and memory: visual memory is when we see things pertaining to visual experiences. We can see from our memory the mental image of the original things, places or people.
Mnemonics: devices used to help people remember. They are a variety of different things. Common mnemonics are songs or short poems that stick in our mind.
Organizing for Encoding: writing things down, looking at them visually, saying things out loud can organize memories
Memory Trace:dictionary: a postulated biochemical change (presumably in neutral tissue) that represents a memory
