Learning and Memory
Memories aren’t impartial and accurate recordings of what happened in the past. They can be shaped by present experiences, desires, and fears. It’s also possible to unintentionally create a false memory to fulfill a psychological need. Different types of memory can include sensory, short term, and long term, and the way that memory is stored can have a profound effect on how we learn and apply knowledge.
Metacognition
Metacognition is the act of thinking about one’s own mental processes. Metacognitive awareness allows people to identify, monitor, and uproot negative self-talk and self-limiting beliefs, and to be efficient in goal-setting and task execution. Thinking about and challenging one’s own thinking is at the heart of many types of therapy, including CBT.
