What is the definition of memory?
On Jun 17, 2024
Memory refers to the processes that are used to acquire, store, retain, and later retrieve information. There are three major processes involved in memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval.
Encoding is the process by which we transform what we perceive, think, or feel into an enduring memory. Storage is the process of maintaining information in memory over time. Retrieval is the process of bringing to mind information that has been previously encoded and stored.
Memory can be divided into different types based on duration as well:
1. Sensory memory holds sensory information for a few seconds or less after an item is perceived. The ability to look at something and remember what it looked like with just a second of observation is an example of sensory memory.
2. Short-term memory (or working memory) holds a small amount of information in an active, readily available state for a short period of time (typically up to 30 seconds).
3. Long-term memory can store large quantities of information for potentially unlimited duration (decades in some cases). It includes things like facts, experiences, and skills that we've learned.
Memory is an essential component of cognitive functioning and is crucial for various cognitive tasks such as learning, reasoning, and language comprehension. It is a complex process that involves multiple parts of the brain, with the hippocampus, amygdala, and neocortex playing particularly significant roles in the consolidation and retrieval of long-term memories.

In college or in any other part of your life, when you are getting ready to finalize your resolution of a problem, what questions might you ask yourself to be sure that you have scrutinized your problem-solving process and made needed corrections?
On May 18, 2024
I could ask myself questions like these:
• What is actually happening as a result of my decision, and is it what I thought would happen?
• If my decision was related to a short-term goal, was the goal achieved? Why or why not?
• If my decision was related to a mid-range or long-term goal, what evidence can I collect to gauge whether I am still on the path to achieve my goal?
• Whom might I consult to get feedback on my decision and the ramifications of my chosen action (or belief)?
• If my decision impacts the actions of another person, what can I do to support this relationship?
• If I need to make a self-correction, where should I start? Do I have the problem and the priorities right?
• Is there new information to consider? Are some options looking better now than before? Was I mistaken about the consequences? Did I act prematurely or delay too long on some aspect of this?
• If the situation did not turn out as I had anticipated, how might I rethink this problem, minimize the damage my error may have caused, and make the best out of the position I now find myself in?
• Are there some questions that I should have asked, some techniques or methods for information gathering I should have used, some assumptions or expectations that I made which were unfounded, some standards of performance or quality that I failed to apply, and some contextual factors, which I failed to take into consideration?
