Encoding: Getting Information In How We Encode
What We Encode
![Page 3: PSYCHOLOGY, Ninth Edition in Modules David G. Myers PowerPoint Slides Aneeq Ahmad Henderson State University Worth Publishers, © 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d765503460f94a57acb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Encoding: Getting Information In
How We Encode
1. Some information (route to your school) is automatically processed.
2. However, new or unusual information (friend’s new cell-phone number) requires attention and effort.
![Page 4: PSYCHOLOGY, Ninth Edition in Modules David G. Myers PowerPoint Slides Aneeq Ahmad Henderson State University Worth Publishers, © 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d765503460f94a57acb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Automatic Processing
We process an enormous amount of information effortlessly, such as the following:
1. Space: While reading a textbook, you automatically encode the place of a picture on a page.
2. Time: We unintentionally note the events that take place in a day.
3. Frequency: You effortlessly keep track of things that happen to you.

Effortful Processing
Committing novel information to memory requires effort just like
learning a concept from a textbook. Such
processing leads to durable and accessible
memories.

Rehearsal
Effortful learning usually requires
rehearsal or conscious
repetition.
Ebbinghaus studied rehearsal by using nonsense syllables: TUV YOF GEK XOZ
Hermann Ebbinghaus(1850-1909)

Rehearsal
The more times the nonsense syllables
were practiced on Day 1,
the fewer repetitions were required to
remember them on Day 2.

Memory Effects
1. Spacing Effect: We retain information better when we rehearse over time.
2. Serial Position Effect: When your recall is better for first and last items on a list, but poor for middle items.

What We Encode
1. Encoding by meaning2. Encoding by images3. Encoding by organization

Encoding Meaning
Processing the meaning of verbal information by associating it with what we already know or imagine.
Encoding meaning (semantic encoding) results in better
recognition later than visual or acoustic encoding.

Visual EncodingMental pictures (imagery) are a powerful
aid to effortful processing, especially when combined with semantic encoding.
Showing adverse effects of tanning and smoking in a picture may be more powerful than simply talking about it.

Mnemonics
Imagery is at the heart of many memory aids. Mnemonic techniques use vivid imagery and organizational devices in
aiding memory.

Break down complex information into broad concepts and further subdivide
them into categories and subcategories.
Organizing Information for Encoding
1. Chunking2. Hierarchies
![Page 14: PSYCHOLOGY, Ninth Edition in Modules David G. Myers PowerPoint Slides Aneeq Ahmad Henderson State University Worth Publishers, © 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d765503460f94a57acb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Chunking
Organizing items into a familiar, manageable unit. Try to remember the numbers below.
1-7-7-6-1-4-9-2-1-8-1-2-1-9-4-1
If you are well versed with American history, chunk the numbers together
and see if you can recall them better. 1776 1492 1812 1941.

Chunking
Acronyms are another way of chunking information to remember it.
HOMES = Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior
ROY G. BIV = Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
