Sensory input sensory memory attention working or short term memory (maintenance rehearsal) retrieval & encoding l long term memory. Long term memory store: function, organizes and stores information n, more passive form of storage than working memory, unlimited capacity, duration, thought by some to be permanent. Forgetting theories: retrieval failure, encoding failure, some info may never, role of time, interference theories. Encoding failure demonstration: according to this theory, objects can be seen frequently, but info may never be encoded into ltm. Role of time: decay theory: memories fade away or decay gradually if unused. Time plays critical rol e: ability to retrieve information declines with time after the original encoding. Proactive interference: something you learned earlier disrupts something you learned later, french learned before interferes with memories established by studying spanish. Retrieval cue: a clue, prompt, or hint that can help memory retrieval. Forgetting is the result of using improper retrieval cues.
