"Introduction to the functioning of human memory and its models" Fabien Mathy (Video)
Mini-course
This course describes the cognitive mechanisms of forgetting and exposes several models that reflect its transitory nature.
Measurement of the memory span consists in identifying how many elements a person is able to maintain in memory for a period of the order of a few seconds. This time is enough to dial a phone number, make a quick decision, or make a reasoning. This span is estimated at 4 or 7 elements depending on the nature of the measurement and the nature of the elements themselves. This course describes the cognitive mechanisms of forgetting and exposes several models that reflect its transitory nature. Some practical aspects will be developed, for example by describing the strategies to implement to consolidate his memory.
