Characteristics of the types of memories
|
Sensory, Short term, Long Term,
|
|
|
Sensory Memory
|
holds info for a second
iconic-visual sensory echoic- auditory sense |
|
|
Short Term Memory
|
Holds info for 20/30 seconds
Limited Capacity-new info bumps out old Rehearsal-repeating info to prevent it from fading away Storage-temporary |
|
|
Long Term Memory
|
Limitless Capacity
Serial Posisition effect Primacy and Recencey Declarative/Procedural Explicit/Implicit Motivation and Interest Emotional |
|
|
Limitless Capacity

most important info moves to long term memory and lasts forever
|
|
|
Serial position Effect
|
first and last materials
|
|
|
Primacy and recencey
|
first and last words
|
|
|
Declarative/Procedural
|
Facts and events/ how to perform a skill
|
|
|
Explicit/Implicit
|
requires conscious recollection/ performance without thought
|
|
|
Recall
|
generate a memory
|
|
|
Recognition
|
memory there, just needs identifying
|
|
|
Motivation and Interest
|
Meaningful and significant value of information focuses and plays an important role in memory
|
|
|
Emotional Memory
|
narrows affection to relevant goals, relative features in environment [may re-experience emotion when recalling experience]
|
|
|
Retrospective Memory
|
Things from the past

|
Remembering things for the future
|
|
|
Intent
|
what to do
|
|
|
Content
|
what items to remember
|
|
|
Working memory
|
the temporary storage of processing memory, uses short term and long term, only remains as long as its been used
|
|
|
Chunking
|
grouping information in larger units expands digits/groups remembered
|
|
|
Central Executive
|
makes decisions about rehearsal, reasoning and balancing two tasks simutaneously
|
|
|
Visual Short term memory
|
simliar to a sketch pad and can store and image for 20/30 seconds
|
|
|
Verbal short term memory
|
words are stored by sound not meaning with 7 digit limitation
|
|
|
Long term and working memory definition
|
intertwine
|
|
|
Representative Form
|
info must be put in representative form [coded] so it can be accessed
|
|
|
Level Of processing
|
deep and shallow level of processing which is determined by the degree of elaboration, reflection and meaning
|
|
|
Encoding Specificity Principle
|
Ease of retrieval depends on match between enoded form and retrieval search
|
|
|
Context (encoding and orginizational info)
|
retrieval easier with memory in context and state dependent
|
|
|
Spacing
|
which is best for most effective acquisition and retrievl- spaced interval
|
|
|
Multiple Representative modes
|
encoding in words, sounds and images is more effective for retrieval
|
|
|
Mnemonic Devices
|
systematic strategies for remembering info
|
|
|
Networks of Association
|
clusters of interconnected info and search is form node to node
|
|
|
High state of Activation
|
recent [latest news] and frequent [knowledge used daily in career field]
|
|
|
Hierarchal Organization
|
broad categories with specific information
|
|
|
Schemes
|
patterns of thought or organized knowledge structure that render the environment relatively predictable
|
|
|
Degree of Forgetting
|
rapid loss at first then a gradual decline
|
|
|
Accuracy of long term memory
|
subject to errors and has bias especially when emotional factors are involved
|
|
|
Flashbulb Memories

|
|
|
Decay Theory
|
Use it or lose it
|
|
|
Interference

other memories tend to interfere,
Proactive- old mixes with new RetroActive-new mixes with old |
|
|
Motivated Forgetting
