Short-term memory

According to Feldman memory is the process by which we encode, store and retrieve information. In recognizing that memory takes in these gives us a better understanding why I remember the name of my pet at 4 years old and why I cannot remember where I put my reading glasses at 55 years old. Another definition comes into play is encoding which is the first stage in remembering something. Next stage is storage which is information stored for future use and final stage is retrieval which is the…

This is the background research on the science fair project about how short term memory is affected by age. Short term memory acts as a kind of “scratch pad” for the temporary storage of information that is being understood by the brain. Short term memory is sometimes referred to as the brains post-it-notes. It is thought of as the ability to recall and understand at the same time. It typically can only hold up to seven items or less. The information is only active for about ten to fifteen…

Cognitive psychology is a branch of psychology with mental processes such as perception, thinking, learning, and memory. The first recognition of the field of cognitive psychology was George Mandler, in 1964 upon creating a facility known as the Center for Human Information Processing (Kiderra, 2016). The “cognitive revolution” fifty years ago sparked new ideas about the way people thought about the mind. Without cognitive psychology, psychologists would still believe the brain was a random mass…

Short-term memory is a broad topic that has been studied by many psychologists for many years to discover the factors of cognitive. Many past studies have concluded that short term memory is very limited and can only hold up to just a few seconds of information. In order to retain information for a longer period of time, many techniques such as repeating information, can possibly be converted into long term memory. The purpose of this study is to determine which gender can score higher on a…

experiment showed that being distraction doesn't affect people having short-term memory, since it scored a mean recall 19.7(video) compared to 17.4 (silent). This experiment may not be all related to the original study, Lloyd and Peterson Margaret (1976) for the reason his experiment was not the same as our experiment.It tend to led to the same results. Peterson and Margaret test showed, there are the similar between recalls of short-term memory. It was reported that most participants have a…

processing is basically determined to result in long term memory, as Shallow processing is most likely to end up as short term memory. Deep processing uses semantics to create an understanding and a storage of memory. You will more likely remember something that you deep processed, hence you figured out meaning, purpose, etc. Shallow processing is not as durable as deep processing because it quickly leads to a extreme or rapid decay. Therefore a memory is usually not stored through shallow…

specific details along with the PAO system are some of the reasons why King’s short-term memories become long-term memories. By providing visual, aromatic, and touch-based cues, King was able to locate some of his childhood memories and apply them to his writing. These memories were used for King to develop creative new ideas as well as bring up old ones in his writing. This correlates to what Foer says about creativity and memory, Foer states, “If the essence of creativity is linking disparate…

Functional psychology believed that memory allows us to retain bits of information for our own survival. He also believed that memory was a dichotomous feature. Although he believed this is his earliest research ignored memory all together. In the early 19th Century, James also suggested that there was a primary and secondary memory. Primary memory being interchangeable with short term memory, and secondary memory being interchangeable with long term memory. Primary memory is something that…
