Just need responses to only 5 of the following (please use examples, experiences, ect when possible). I have put extras so that you have some options. 1. Please respond as if in discussion to the following; Short term memory is most interesting to me because it is a difficult task to accomplish. It has been proven that if you want to remember random items they have to minimal in size and the more lengthy they are requires some additional skills. To cast random numbers and letters consisting of more than l2 items will be most successful with the technique of chucking. Chucking is when you take a random string of letters or numbers and group them together to make a abbreviation are something of significance to the reader.

After that time, the memory trace will simply decay, and the information will be lost” (pg. 106 Galotti 2014). Class what other information do we rehears to remember later on, my answer is what do you think? 6. Please respond as if in a discussion; Chunking is the way to “trick” our brains into thinking that there are between 5 to 9 units of information (the number of units that our STM can remember. And again, right on with rehearsal! If we do not rehearse the information within 15 to 30 seconds, it will be lost and it will not then be stored into LTM (long term memory). My question for the class is this: Long term memory is predominately processed in the ppocampus of the
