This program introduces the basic terms used in the study of
memory such as encoding and storage and retrieval, and looks briefly at the historical
ideas about memory. Modern theories are explained using diagrams and real-life examples,
and the program then goes on to discuss current research in the area of everyday memory.
The reasons for forgetting are explored and the biological basis of memory outlined. In
addition, the program examines ways of improving memory. The program emphasizes the
radical shift from laboratory-based research to the study of memory in everyday life. The
program also includes eight exercises for viewers to take part in, including memory tests
and a video clip of a robbery to test recall for eyewitness testimony. (74 minutes, color)
