Discussion of factors that enhance or impede information flow in each step of the process Explanation of proactive and retroactive interference and how you might counteract their effects while studying in order to facilitate maximum retention via long term memory Explanation of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval This assignment will also be assessed using additional criteria provided here.
