Sensory Memory

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.
