Illustrate the implications of effectively and not effectively encoding information into long-term memory
Illustrate methods to enhance memory
Behavioral methods such as repetition has long been known to enhance memory performance, and it has been consistently shown that repeated training trials and/or learning events are associated with better memory. Retrieval induced reconsolidation occurs through repeated retrieval sessions. When a memory is retrieved, it can again return to a labile state and can undergo reconsolidation. Associating words with images is another commonly used mnemonic device, providing two alternative methods of remembering, and creating additional associations in the mind. Another method of improving memory encoding and consolidation is the use of a so-called memory palace (also known as the method of loci), a mnemonic techniques that relies on memorized spatial relationships to establish order and recollect other memories.

Cite and explain a research study that applies to each process.
Study # 1- Visual Perception Study. 1981 by Burgess and Judy et al.
Method: Ideal observer model Template based detection procedure for imaging (Burgess, 2011).
The ability to maintain attention on the stimuli greatly affects the quality of perception. Internal and external noise cause a reduction in perception abilities. Also, unfamiliar visual scenes reduced visual perception by 40%. This is the result of the lack of templates for those unfamiliar scenes (Burgess, 2011). When a template was present, cognitive decision making was sharp in the very beginning of the visual process.
Study # 2- Language
Method: Cognitive Linguistics;1988 (Dwight Bollinger & Charles Fillmore) Hypothesized that speech utterances are learned and mentally stored. Grammar rules, idioms, etc. are all built over time. Environmental input determines language, absent any disorder.

Explain how this research is important to the study of knowledge representation.
Cognitive functions perceptions are vital. Concepts are psychological signs, containing memory, reasoning using and understanding language. Categorizing is a function in concepts dealing with knowledge (Smith, E. E., & Medin, D. L., 1981). In what way people are competent to conceptualize from previous knowledge and why do individuals do not begin over if challenged with faintly different circumstances? Categorization is the development by which matters are retained in classes of understanding. It is imperative to study knowledge representation to determine what happens to memory over time (Smith, E. E., & Medin, D. L., 1981). Furthermore, how people represent the gist of an experience, the nature of representation of categorical knowledge, and how does this affect the way the world is perceived. For example, recalling a wedding that was attended, one may recall who the bride and groom, the location and some of the guest as well as and some of the things that transpired (Anderson, J. R., 2010). “You would probably be hard pressed, however, to say exactly what all the participants wore, the exact words that were spoken, the way the bride walked down the aisle, and so on—although you probably” (Anderson, J. R. ,2010, p. 115).
Explain five types of cognitive processes
Perception- recognition and interpretation of sensory stimuli (smell, touch, hearing, etc.)
Attention- ability to sustain concentration on a particular object, action, or thought, and ability to manage competing demands in our environment.
Memory- short-term/ working memory (limited storage), and long-term memory (unlimited storage)
Language- skills allowing us to translate sounds into words and generate verbal output.
Visual and Spatial Processing- ability to process incoming visual stimuli, to understand spatial relationship between objects, and to visualize images and scenarios.
