Iconic (visual): wo(cid:374)"t really re(cid:373)e(cid:373)(cid:271)er unless i do something to it. Echoic (audio): it prolongs before it decays: short term memory (stm) Some info will lose in stm via 2 process: when trying to put into long term memory. 2 different process: (recall: decay: fades over time/ not important/ not paying attention/ no conscious or su(cid:271)(cid:272)o(cid:374)s(cid:272)ious de(cid:272)isio(cid:374) to say (cid:862)yes i (cid:449)ill keep it(cid:863, interference: lose of info. due to competition of new incoming info. (retrieving) Proactive: driven, when old info is interfering the retrieval of new info. e. g. learnt old skills and now want to learn new things but keep remembering old.
