multi-store model of memory

memory is..

the processing, storage and retrieval or information acquired through learning.

what is the first fundamental process of memory?

encoding - conversion of information into usable form so that it can be neurologically represented and stored in memory. Occurs at the time of learning.

what is the second fundamental process of memory?

storage - retention of the encoded information overtime

what is the third fundamental process of memory?

retrieval - recovery of stored information and bringing into consciousness when needed.

what is the first atkinson-shiffrin memory store?
answer everything

sensory memory from the environment

not conscious

lasts for 0.2-10s

potentially unlimited

if we pay attention the models moves along and if we don’t information fades away

what is the second atkinson-shiffrin memory store?
answer everything

short-term memory

maintains info in conscious awareness

only holds 7+-2 pieces of information

lasts for 18-20s

conscious

what is the third atkinson-shiffrin memory store?
answer everything

long-term memory

can be moved form LTM to STM when needed

potentially unlimited

non conscious

auditory memory 3-4 seconds

whaat is haptic memory and how long does it last for?

sense of touch less than 2 seconds

what is chunking?

grouping smaller chunks of information in larger groups of information in order to hold more information in STM.

what is maintenance rehearsal?

repetition as much as possible to increase retention

what is elaborative rehearsal?

fully linking new information to information already stored in longterm memory.

What is explicit memory?

Memory with awareness

What is implicit memory?

Memory without awareness

What is semantic memory?

Facts and knowledge
