Getting Groceries

Going grocery shopping involves a series of mental processes that engage both memory and attention. As you read signs in the store, semantic memory helps you recognize what items are in which aisles.

Getting Groceries

Self-checkout scanning stuff

Semantic Memory: we recall how to use the self checkout line at the store because it shows us step by step on what to do
Episodic Memory: Going through a self checkout line can trigger any type of memory you have connected.
Filtering: We can go to the self checkout instead because it's quicker

Grabbing the items you want

Filtering: seeing a certain type of food or snack that grabs your attention so you decide to pick it up.
Episodic Memory: remembering how when you were a child you use to run down the aisles grabbing whatever kind of food you want.

Walking down the aisle

Filtering: Walking down the aisle trying to decide what kind of food you want to pick up wither if its something healthy or not, you can group it like that.
Episodic Memory: when you go grocery shopping you walk down every aisle like you did when you were a child, at least I did.

Looking for stuff you want

Filtering: you group whatever kind of snack you want and decide on the kind of snack or food you're going to get.
Episodic Memory: when you were a child and you didn't have to go through every aisle trying to figure out what you want because you go to the snack section and just pick from there.

Reading the names of things on aisle signs

Attention
Episodic Memory: the name of a certain object might trigger a memory from shopping with your parents you were a child
Flitering: using the names on the signs we know what is in the aisle
Memory
Semantic Memory: we remember to read what is on the signs and realize that what we need is in that aisle
