Information processing:
|
• input data= Encoding=putting information into the brain
• saving files to a hard drive=Storage= retaining the information over time • opening the file later=Retrieval= getting the information out of storage |
|
|
Atkinson:
|
• Sensory Memory: immediate, initial recording of sensory information in the memory system
• Short-term Memory: activated memory that holds a few items briefly (on-screen data) • Long-term Memory: relatively permanent and unlimited storehouse of the mind (infinite hard-drive) |
|
|
Automatic Processing:
|
• intake of information with no conscious effort
|
|
|
Effortful Processing:
|
• intentional intake of Information
|
|
|

|
• If asked to speak in order, our memory is poorest for what the person just before us said!
|
|
