Explaining 8.1 (conceptualizing memory) to a 10 year old child.
You go to a store to buy things. There are different kind of things -toys, clothes, foods etc. You see them, touch them and smell them, but only few things attract you. You buy the things, which attracts you. Few things(food) are useful for a short period, while few (clothes, toys) are useful for long period. You keep them separately. You have allocated places, shelves at home for clothes and toys, which you will use for long time. These things are going to be useful to you, one day or the other.
The store is our surroundings. The touch, vision and smell are the sensory registers. The things which you purchased, are your short term and long term memory. Things which were useful for short time are stored in short term or working memory. Things which you stored for long term purpose are stored in your long term memory. You kept the long term things, in shelves. This process in memory, is called consolidation. This memory is used for problem solving and to achieve our goals.
There is a huge pile of long term things in your home -books, clothes, toys, combs, perfumes etc. You use certain things when your mother or friends remind you of it.
Things stored in the memory, are accessed by retrieval. It can be recognition, recall and cued recall. Few examples are below -
hey friend, can I borrow the toy story book you had ?
You then search for the book and give it to your friend. (Recall)
One day, your friend is reading the book you gave, in the park. You immediately recognize that it's the same book which you gave him. (Recognition)
Your mother is stitching clothes, you remember your slightly torn pant and give it to her.
Mom, can you please stitch my pant too ? It's slightly torn near the knees. (Cued recall)
You go to school on a bicycle. You learnt it, when you were three years old and its now your daily routine (Implicit long term memory -you do it automatically)
You have exam and you write the answers for the questions (Explicit long term memory - you are recalling, what you studied last night and is a deliberate effort).

Module 8: Journal Assignment-Explaining Memory to a Child (20 points possible) Chapter 8 in your textbook starts off with a section on conceptualizing memory. In my PowerPoint lecture notes that I've posted, you will see that I've annotated a figure called the "Atkinson-Shiffrin Memory Model" on Slide #3 from Chapter 8; however, you will not find this figure in your book (assuming you have the 8th edition or higher). In contrast, Figure 8.1 from your textbook (found on page 233...
