|
Large Capacity but very short (.25 sec) duration
|
|
|
Short Term Memory "Working Memory"
|
- Small capacity 7 +/- 2 chunks of info
- Duration : short 20-30 seconds w/o effort - Chunking reduces the number of information within normal capacity |
|
|
Long Term Memory
|
a. Large capacity - essentially unlimited
b. Duration - very long c. Information is in fragments connected in semantic network d. Memory more like writing a book than reading it |
|
|
Encoding
|
input: transferring information into memory
|
|
|
Storage
|
maintaining: keeping information into memory
|
|
|
Retrieval
|
Output: getting info out of LTM so we can recall it
|
|
|
Atkinson and Shiffrin Model
|
Environmental input ->sensory registers -> STM <-->LTM
|
|
|
Autonomic encoding
|
little to no effort
|
|
|
Effortful encoding
|
requires work
|
|
|
How does attention affect encoding?
|
Undivided attention leads to better encoding than divided
|
|
|
Overlearning
|
continuing to rehearse information after one has mastered it
|
|
|
Mnemonics
|
strategies to help people remember things better
|
|
|
levels of processing
|
Shallow - appearance
sound meaning definition Deep - elaboration |
|
