|
|
|
LTM

Duration
|
A measure of how long a memory lasts before it is no longer available. STM has very limited duration, LTM has a potentillay unlimited duration.
|

Encoding
|
The way information ios changed so that it can be stored in memory. STM - acoustically. LTM - sematic.
|
|
|

Miller (1956) proposed that the capacity of STM can be enhanced by chunking information together.
|
|
|

|
An explanation of how the memory process works. It involves sensory memory (SM), Attention, STM, Maintanance Rehersal, Elaborate Rehersal, LTM, and Retrieval.
