The three-store memory theory—an earlier theory of memory—suggestedthat memory moved from sensory experience to a temporary store in thebrain. Once there, if attended to, it would be transferred to ashort-term memory store. If entered into a process called “rehearsal,”this short-term memory would enter long-term storage.

The levels-of-processing theory of memory came into being in part asan answer to the three-story theory. Rather than focusing on thenotions of storage and rehearsal, this theory emphasized the role ofprocess in the development of long-term memory. Theorists suggestedthat memories are formed inherently through the cognitive processesused to absorb information.

In this Discussion, you describe and analyze an occasion of long-termmemory loss that you experienced. You then explain how to improvelong-term memory function.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of an example of

long-term memory loss that you have experienced. Then explain your

long-term memory loss within the context of the three-store memory

theory and levels of processing memory theory. Finally, explain

strategies you might use to improve your long-term memory function.
