Working memory

Register memory works in the following way. Suppose register x contains a block at location N. In order for the computer to read this value, it must perform the loop... 

Metabolic pathways are better learnt as an exercise in logic than pure memory work Working from first principles with a firm underpinning knowledge will seldom... 

The formulas in column 3 are oriented with the lone methyl group at the top for purposes of numbering, for ready recognition in the terpene literature, and for simplifying the memory work throughout the four different series of bicyclic terpenes. 

Scientific calculators (p. 4) greatly simplify the numerical part of problem solving. However, the seeming infalhbihty of the calculator may lead you to accept an absurd result which could have arisen because of faulty key-pressing or faulty logic. Make sure you know how to use all the features on your calculator, especially how the memory works how to introduce a constant multiplier or divider and how to obtain an exponent (note that the exp button on most calculators gives you 10, not 1 or y so 1 x 10 would be entered as T] exp [T], not 10 exp ). 

A hallucination is a functioning of Input-Processing whereby stored information is drawn from Memory, worked over by Input-Processing, and passed along to awareness as if it were sensory data. 

Knowing that we do not fully understand how memory works, let me nevertheless put forth the following supposition A schema is one means by which related information is retained in human... 

What appears to be missing in both Squire s and Anderson s memory dichotomy is an explanation of how the two types of memories work together. I suggest that both declarative and procedural knowledge are required in any activation of a schema. 

Understanding how memory works will help the student to use it more effectively. As in any scientific subject, there is still a lot to be discovered about the workings of... 

We shall now proceed to develop this solubility scheme and to place various common classes of compounds into the proper solubility groups. This is done not only to develop an ability to predict solubility behavior, but in order to emphasize the fact that this solubility table, which will be used later in the procedure for analysis, need not be an object of memory work. This table need not be overburdened with many classes of compounds of the mixed type "where several unlike substituents are present these types will call forth no special difficulties in the analytical procedure. 

Space will not permit the discussion of additional solubility data, but, in order to emphasiize further the fact that the Solubility Table need not be treated as a piece of memory work, an additional class exercise is assigned at the end of Chapter VIII. 

There were exceptions, to be sure. At Purdue, R.N. Shreve wrote a well-known book in which an attempt was made to categorize organic and inorganic reactions into groups as had been done with the unit operations. The absence of quantitative, theoretical treatments made the subject seem too much like "memory work" for most students. Thus, many students had to learn from their industrial practice of engineering that, without some appreciation of chemical properties and phenomena, they were ill prepared to deal with some of the innovative problems instead of the textbook problems.
