I chose this website because it discusses sensory registers and how we memorize things for a short period of time or a long period of time. Basically, this website speaks about how we memorize auditory and visual objects. Short term memory are those things that we have stored in our minds for a small amount of time. Long term memory are the short term memory things that we have repeated over a period of time and now, they are a part of our long term memory. The more we repeat them, the more the concepts will stay with us.
In terms of learning, this website is important because it shows us how we memorize things over time. But I think that this website is very important as teachers relate with students who have learning disabilities. Understanding how students learn is a key component in effective teaching.
James states that “In all primary school work the principle of multiple impressions is well recognized." This concept was taken from the PowerPoint presentation. In any event, multiple impressions will help the brain as it attempts to hold on to information for a long period of time. If you do not learn concepts repeatedly over a period of time, the information will reside in your short term memory and eventually it can float out of your memory bank unless you make associations with previously learned information.
