Types of Memory (Unit 2)

This episode explains the major types of memory—sensory, short-term, working, and long-term (explicit and implicit)—and how they operate during clinical shifts.

Using practical examples from orientation, it explores why orientees get overwhelmed, how working memory limits affect performance, and how procedural and emotional memory influence learning and confidence.

The episode also previews a follow-up on cognitive load theory and offers strategies preceptors can use to reduce overload and improve retention.
