" Psychology and Life "

[United States] Richard Grigg, Philip Zimbardo by Wang Lei (translated)


Study Notes


Parents and children read a book " John Christo Husband is over, and I feel that the ups and downs of human life, poverty and wealth, love and being loved, being lost and awake are all around us all the time, and there is the possibility of deviating from the right track at any time. A life of ups and downs, having to adjust the path under your feet at any time, a lost heart. Sometimes you have to get up by yourself when you fall, and sometimes you need help from others to stand up again. I am grateful for my own strength, and I am also grateful for the support of others.

took a month off and started studying a new field of psychology with my second uncle. Never set foot in it, start from 0, and after 100 days, meet the most beautiful version of yourself! [For the sake of the children, but also for myself]


STOP Stop and check

Study Notes

Three kinds of memory that are not very durable: image memory, short-term memory and working memory

1. Why do researchers believe that the content of image memory is large?

Answer: In an array of numbers and letters, participants completed two different tasks. Participants were in a total reporting procedure in which they attempted to recall as many items as possible. Typically there are only about 4 items they can report on. Additional participants underwent a partial reporting procedure that required them to report only one row rather than the contents of the entire array. A high, medium, or low tone was sounded immediately after the array was presented to prompt participants as to which row to report. The researchers found that participants' recall scores were relatively good regardless of which line they were asked to report.

Therefore, the researchers judged that all the information presented has entered the image memory, which proves that the capacity of the image memory is very large.

2. What is the current assessment of the content of short-term memory?

Answer: The resources of short-term memory are changeable.

Example: Short-term memory: Look in the phone book to find a friend's number, and then remember the number until you have dialed it. If the line is busy, you often have to look in the phone book again when trying to dial later. (Psychology in Life)

Performance decline is due to the inability to rehearse information and interference from competing information from distracting tasks.

Encoding of information in short-term memory can be improved through rehearsal and chunking

3. What is chunking of items ?

Answer: is the process of reorganizing a project, which can be organized based on similarity or other organizing principles, or based on information stored in long-term memory and organized into larger modules. Organize the large amounts of information available in your project into small chunks.

4, What are the components of working memory ?

Answer: has four components. Phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, central executive system, contextual buffer.

Working memory is like a brighter psychological light shining on your mental objects - memory representation
