memory
The ability to store and retrieve and interpret information over time
encoding
Process of putting information into memory systems
Storage
Process of retaining encoded information in the memory system
retrieval
Process of recalling or accessing information that is stored in memory
automatic processing
Cognitive processes that occur without conscious effort or intention( familiarising faces, reading words in native language, understanding, short sentences)
effortful processing
The active mental process of encoding information that requires conscious attention an effort
how can things process effortfully eventually be process automatically
Overtime, with repetition in practice info will be ingrained in your memory
Multi Store Model
A theory of memory that suggests there are three separate stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory, with information flowing sequentially through these stages.
what can cause us to go from different memory stages
rehearsal, distraction, stress
Iconic
A momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli, image is lasting no more than 1/10 of a second
explicit
A momentary sensory memory of an auditory stimuli
working memory
a type of short term memory where small amounts of info are held temporarily
central executive
component of working memory that controls and coordinates cognitive processes
visuospatial sketchpad
component of working memory that temporarily stores and manipulates visual and spatial information
phonological loop
a part of working memory that stores and processes verbal and auditory information.
shallow processing
involves focusing on the surface-level features of information, rather than its deeper meaning. It can lead to weaker memory
structural processing
involves remembering the physical qualities of something, such as its appearance
phonemic processing
includes remembering the word by the way it sounds
deep processing
a way of learning that involves actively engaging with information to make it meaningful
Long Term Potention
a physiological process that occurs when the strength of a synapse increases and persists over time
explicit memory
Type of long-term memory that involves conscious recall of facts and events.
semantic memory
Type of long-term memory that stores factual or conceptual information, such as general knowledge, definitions, and concepts.
implicit memory
Type of long-term memory that involves unconscious recall of skills, tasks, and responses.
procedural memory
Type of long-term memory that involves the performance of actions and skills, typically acquired through practice and experience.
prospective memory
Type of memory that involves remembering to perform planned actions in the future, such as remembering to take medication or attend a meeting.
