In this MRCPsych revision episode we explore how memory works in psychology and neuroscience.

Topics include encoding, storage and retrieval, different memory models and the role of chunking in improving memory performance. These models help explain how information is processed and stored in the brain.

These concepts frequently appear in MRCPsych Part A examination questions involving memory systems, cognitive psychology and memory disorders in psychiatry.

This episode maps directly to paragraph 1.1.4 of the Royal College of Psychiatrists membership examination, MRCPsych Part A syllabus.
