As you work on this assessment, you’ll have the chance to
explore strategies for enhancing learning and memory. You’ll consider what
might explain someone whose long-term memory is fine but who has problems with
short-term memory. Forgetting everyday things happens to everyone. You’ll
consider what might contribute to this and strategies to help prevent it.
Once you have learned cognitive theories and models, you can
begin to use them to help understand challenges that individuals experience
with learning and cognition. That’s what you’ll do for this assessment.
