Document Summary

Memory is learning that has persisted over time. Recall: retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that has been learned earlier in time. Recognition: identifying what you have previously learned multiple choice. Relearning: learning something more quickly when you have learned it the second time. Retrieval: later get the information back out. We first record to be remembered information as a fleeting sensory memory. Form there, we process information into short-term memory, where we encode it through rehearsal. It moves into long-term memory for later retrieval. Working memory: a newer understanding of short-term memory that focuses on conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long- term memory. Dual track memory: effortful versus automatic processing. Explicit memory: memory and facts that people can consciously know. Effortful processing: encoding that requires attention and conscious effort. Automatic processing: happens without our awareness that produces implicit memories.
