COMPLEMENTARY PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR MEMORY DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This study examines the complex relationships between three connected fields psychology, learning, and memory—that are essential to comprehending human behaviour and cognition.  In order to improve information processing and knowledge retention, it first introduces fundamental psychological concepts related to learning and memory, emphasising the roles played by the sensory, short-term, and long-term memory systems.  The research also looks at well-known theories that emphasise the diversity and complexity of learning processes, such as classical and operant conditioning, Adderley's working memory model, and cognitive perspectives on memory formation.  Important psychological factors that affect memory encoding and retrieval are examined, including motivation, emotion, and attention. Analyzing brain areas including the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus helps one address biological roots; neurolinguistics is underlined as a fundamental mechanism for learning adaptation. It is underlined that cognitional is a higher-order ability enabling individuals to monitor and regulate their own learning strategies. The study also evaluates memory and learning results in relation to sleep, stress, cultural elements, and digital technologies. Examined is the application of psychological ideas in educational environments, with particular focus on active learning, feedback, and reinforcement improving memory retention. It also considers how cognitive ability is affected by memory diseases such as amnesia and Alzheimer's, so offering knowledge on pathogenic memory distortions. The paper ends with stressing present advancements in the field of memory research and learning, notably the combination of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and educational technology underlining the findings underline how dynamically, and complicated learning and memory are processes with broad consequences on education, therapy, and cognitive development.
