Chemistry Of My Long Term Memory - 1137 Words

1. I am storing chemistry in my long term memory. General Chemistry just had a test last week so I am attempting to store new information, specifically from Chapter 10 tilted Chemical Bonding. We have covered bond theories and have worked extensively on the Lewis Dot structure. The Lewis Dot structure represents the boding of valence electrons, we represent this bonding using dot structures. There are different types of chemical bonds that must be represented with their very own dot structure. We are also learning when a bond needs a resonance and the different shapes a chemical bond can create, specially electron and molecular geometry. I am trying to store this information in my long term memory for two specific reasons: testing and†¦show more content†¦After rehearing this information, it will be stored in long term memory. Information enters long term memory, according to the Modal Model, in a series of steps. First, information enters sensory memory where is can do one of two things, either be forgotten or transferred. In sensory memory, information is either encoded and transferred or forgotten immediately. Abon transfer, information enters short term memory where once again it can be transferred or forgotten. Information can either be forgotten due to decay, information flows away, or interference, when new or old information interferes with your memory. With rehearsal, information can be transferred to long term memory. Chemical bonding will be encoded through various steps. The bonding information went through sensory memory where it was encoded immediately. It will pass through short term memory with practice and rehearsal. I have been rehearsing by creating note cards that I use to help me learn various terms and dot structures. I have also been doing homework, which gives me many practice problems that force me to go over the material well, exposing me to different circumstances I must learn. These problems will surely help encode the in formation and eventually lead to transferring the information to long term memory. Two techniques that will help encode the information into long term memory is distributing which is partShow MoreRelatedEssay1138 Words   |  5 PagesI unmistakably recall my amazement as I watched my high school chemistry teacher balance an oxidation-reduction reaction on the board; in that moment, I became passionate about the molecular world. On the surface, the challenging coursework caught my curiosity, yet deep within was an internal connection to chemistry I had not experienced prior. This fascination with the molecular world was continually refined throughout my undergraduate coursework; however, no topic inspired me more than the molecularRead MoreMy Most Memorable Experience In College783 Words   |  4 PagesMy first semester here at Albright College is definitely one that Im going to remember. Although it has gone by way too fast, a lot of hilarious and great memories were made, mostly with the people who are in my First Year Seminar class/POP group. Not only did I make amazing memories, but I have also changed a bit and even learned more about myself. In addition, I have made quite a few accomplishments, personal and academic since my midterm reflection. In the beginning of the semester, I came upRead MoreGraduation Speech For Becoming A Teacher852 Words   |  4 Pagesto my desire to become a teacher, tutoring high school students who struggled with math, and hearing my mother’s stories about the rewards of teaching were my greatest sources of inspiration for becoming a teacher. As a student tutor, I witnessed students who lacked self-confidence find hope and pride in their newly acquired abilities through their practice and determination. During this tutoring experience I not only earned the respect of the students, but I gained a sense of purpose for my futureRead MoreMy Experience : My Personal Experience In High School Students1002 Words   |  5 P agesdirectly from my classes themselves. My long term career interests do not align with that of science nor of math. My brain is rather selective with what it chooses to learn. Anything that I am not invested in becomes unbearably boring and difficult to learn. Subsequently, my studiousness falters. My classes dragged by hour by hour as I sat through the constant mumble and drone of uninspired, unenthusiastic fresh out of college teachers. I can hardly recall any particular memories of these classesRead MoreThe Use Of Electrical Probes On The Brain1487 Words   |  6 Pageslocated in the back of your head. Cerebellum is Latin for little brain and the cerebellum looks like a miniature brain. It is the size of a boy’s baseball and coordinates voluntary movement. The cerebellum also enables one type of nonverbal learning and memory. It also judges time, modulate emotions, and discriminates sounds and textures.

The limbic system consists of the hippocampus, hypothalamus, pituitary glandRead MoreThe Debate Over The Existence Of Free Will1228 Words   |  5 Pages The debate over the existence of free will is possibly one of the most important discussions of human nature. Insight into this debate holds vast ethical, legal and political implications. In my experience, those who are not familiar with the topic often conflate free will for consciousness, and impetuously accept the existence of free will. Free will is defined as the freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior physical causes. Those who believe in free will thus ascribeRead MorePsy/340 Wk4 Genetics Evaluation1249 Words   |  5 Pages * * * * * * * * * * * Bipolar- Team B Crazy or Illness In my previous experiences and conversations with various individuals, the overall interpretation or misconception of bipolar disease is that the person is â€Å"†crazy.

I worked with a wide spectrum of individuals, from fellow peers to Vice Chancellors. Several of the activities included tutoring, lab work and presentations.

I remember gathering around the window in the classroom to look at the progress our little plants were making.

My teacher talked about how important sunlight and water were to the plants, and we were tasked with drawing the bean sprouts in our notebooks. I remember this activity more clearly than most
