|
Encoding |
processing info in a way that can be represented internally (entering info into computer on keyboard |
|
|
Storage |
maintaining encoded info in memory overtime (computer saving in a life on a hard drive) |
|
|
Retrieval |
recovering info from storage (computer calling up info and displaying it on monitor) |
|
|
Sensory |
comes through the door |
|
|
Working memory -how long -how do you keep it -what capacity |
-20 secs if unrehearsed -stays as long as you rehearse if not disappears -limited capacity |
|
|
Infantile Amnesia |
-cant remember things from about 2 or 3 |
|
|
where is STM |
-prefrontal cortex |
|
|
what does "mental" workspace temporarily hold |
-info retrieved from LTM or sensory memory |
|

-meaning |
|
|
Visual Coding |
-images |
|

how many items does stm hold? |
7 +/- 2 |
|
|
Chunking |
-recoding info into larger more meaningful units |
|
|
1st step of chunking |
-recognize letters as familiar transfer knowledge from LTM to sTm |
|
|
2nd step of chunking |
-draw info out of ltm to evaluate and understand info in STM |
|
|
3rd step of chunking |
maintenance rehearsal- repeating material to yourself |
|
|
forgetting |
failure to retrieve info from memory |
|
|
decay |
-info fades over time |
|
|
displacement |
-new info replaces old info |
|
|
retrieval |
-mores items in wm the slower the retrieval |
