Discuss the cognitive processes involved in memory encoding
Discuss the cognitive processes involved in memory encoding, storage, and retrieval, drawing on theories such as the multi-store model, levels of processing theory, and schema theory. Examine factors that influence memory performance, including attention, rehearsal, encoding strategies, emotional arousal, and context cues. Analyze research findings on memory distortions, false memories, and eyewitness testimony reliability, and their implications for forensic psychology and legal proceedings. Evaluate memory enhancement techniques and interventions, such as mnemonic devices, spaced repetition, and cognitive rehabilitation programs, in improving memory functioning and quality of life for individuals with memory impairments.
