Memory encoding |
Information has to be changed so it can be stored. Three main ways it can be changed: Visual (Picture), Acoustic (Sound) and Sematic (meaning). |
|
|
|
Visual |
A form of memory which stores information through our visual experience. It helps with LTM. |
|
|
|
Acoustic |
Coding for STM. By rehearsing letters and numbers. |
|
|
|
Sematic (meaning) |
Coding for LTM. |
|
|
|
Memory storage |
After information enters the brain it has to be stored or maintained, three-stage model proposed by Richard Atkinson and Richard Stiffrin. |
|
|
|
Sensory memory |
Sensory memory stores incoming information in detail but only for an instant, capacity of sensory memory is very large but info is unprocessed. |
|
|
|
Iconic memory |
Visual sensory memory |
|
|
|
Echoic memory |
Auditory memory |
|
|
|
Short-term memory |
Can hold information for approxs 20 seconds.. rehearsing can speed this process up. |
People would repeat a new phone number over and over to themselves. |
|
|
Short-term memory capacity can be increased? |
Chunking combines small bits of information into bigger, familar pieces. |
|
|
|
Long-term memory |
Info can be transferred from STM to LTM. |
|
|
|
Long term memory capacity |
It capacity is nearly infinite and information can usually stay for a long duration of person's life. However some of this information may not be able to be retrived. |
