Sensory (attention) short term (transfer) long term (retrieval) short term (rehearsal) short term. Memory that will only remain active for seconds unless you think about it (rehearsal) To put in long term: elaborative rehearsal. Chunking: organizing info into meaningfulness units to make it easier to remember. Refers to structures and processes used to temporarily store and manipulate information. Episodic buffer: integrates info, links to ltm. Central executive: control center, directs attention to relevant info. Sensory memory: memory for sensory info that lasts for an extremely brief time, typically not even consciously aware of it. Major system: turn numbers into letters, words, and images. Explicit: specific info (declarative), info we are consciously aware of. Improvement in identifying/processing stimulus that has been experiencing previously. Motor skills, habits, behaviors we remember how to do without. Context dependent: enhancement that occurs when recall situation is similar to encoding situation (e. g. physical location, background music)
