Course Summary
Do you remember how classical conditioning compares with operant conditioning? In order to profit from what you lean, you need to remember it - information from sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and even skin sensations need to be translated into codes that your brain can store and you can retrieve. Memory is your capacity to register, store, and recover information over time, or more simply, the persistence of learning over time. your memory can be affected by how well you focus your attention, your motivation, how much you practice, your state of consciousness when you learn something and your state of consciousness when you recall it, and interference from other events and experiences. Cognitive psychologists study cognition, all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, and remembering information. This chapter looks at how you make memories, remember and forget them, solve problems, and use thinking in your use of language.
