PSY312H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Information Processing, Iconic Memory, Episodic Memory
Document Summary
But some we are attending to, and resting are filtered out. As you getting older, you will filter out more information. When you are not efficiently filtering out information, it is disorder--attention deficit disorder. When we cant filter out unnecessary information, you have to physically filter it out. Language resides in ltm, the bottom up information processing model is in use. It also develops with age: when you pick out things that are important to you is top down processing. Iconic memory: things that are registered in your memory: the part that your are attending to goes to working memory. How much and how long you can work on it. Stm decays around ~15-30 secs, information is gone if you stop attending to it. Information can then being stored to ltm: two pathways: elaboration: attaching meaning to things interested you. and repetition: storage, retrieval: failure retrieve causes memory loss.
