Chapter 7: perspectives on human memory: memory as a data storage facility. Out memory allows us to do all what we have learned in our lives. Everything we do in our lives depend on it. Memory has independent systems to allow us to do all the things in our lives: long term memory, short term memory. Sensory memory: the in the moment memory, which allows us to focus on the most important thing. The study of internal mental processes became an acceptable target for research. Became acceptable by the 1960s, and people were allowed to study the mental processes that are not able to be directly observed. Information is rehearsed, some information is encoded into long- term memory.
