Introductory lecture on "memory"

When I began working at the Department for psychosocial science, I was persuaded to give two lectures in cognitive psychology to the first year students. There were between 200 and 300 students at each lecture, and this was their first introduction to the topic.

The first of these lectures was on the topic of memory. I planned the lecture around the Atkinson and Shiffrin model of three memory stores, so I used this as a visual structure for the presentation, and placed all theories and findings in relation to this model.

The presentation (Norwegian only) is included below. Note that the lecture is supposed to run over 2x45 minutes, so if you click through it in 3 minutes it may induce motion sickness.
