Multi Sensory Memory Processing

welcome to watchmojo.com
I’m your host Christine and today we
continue our segment on memory focusing
on multi sensory processing with dr.
Angela Chen multi-sensory memory is the
engagement of as many sensory modalities
as possible to assist memory now what is
a sensory modality in psychology that
means just your sense of say our vision
sense of touch sense of hearing sense of
emotions so a sense of taste a sense of
temperature so that’s your physical
senses now if we think of our
experiences our childhood experiences if
we smell some flowers even into our
adulthood if we smell the same flowers
we realize that oh I recognize that
smell similarly for tasting certain
kinds of fruits and also how the sense
of touch the way mother touches it
touched us will be very well remembered
so if we can incorporate that into a
memory system we can remember much
better can you give us an example yes
well let’s use the similar example we’ve
had in our last session like when you
park your car at E 5 ok how do we
remember that now perhaps you can
elaborate with your senses this time e 5
what’s there out there with E
perhaps an elephant e eva elephants well
an elephant can stink
you can remember that sense of the fresh
manure of elephants and well you can
paint that elephant orange so that
visually you see that orange elephant
smelling like well elephant manure and
then we can further elaborate it by
thinking of now you hear a heavy
thumping sound coming towards your car
and stopping on to your car well that’s
scary enough and perhaps well it’s not
so bad after all because now well your
dilapidated old old car is gone
and you can get your dream car the
Mercedes II 500 to replace it so again
‘if I’ve so with these elaboration this
I guess it’s most likely to help you
remember than just saying II five
