Psyc 101 lecture 11 short term memory & long term / episodic memory. Based on the modal model of memory: cause of the primary effect = amount of rehearsal, cause of the recency effect = short term memory. Fast presentation = no time for rehearsal, primary effect if drastically reduced. Delay is longer than the capacity of short term memory. Episodic memories are contextualized to a particular time or place. Semantic memories (generic memories) are free of time and place. Declarative: we can make a declaration about it. Non-declarative (procedural): we know how to do it. Craik & lockhart (1972) a processing account for the serial position curve and episodic memory. Processing involves a continuum that extends from shallow (focused on physical properties) to deep (focused on meaning: deeper processing yields longer-lasting memory traces or representations. There are two types of rehearsal: maintenance rehearsal = repetition of the same type of processing (rote.
