PSYCH 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Short-Term Memory, George Sperling, Iconic Memory
Document Summary
Memory persistence of learning over time through the encoding, storage, and retrieval of information. Information processing model: computer operations, encoding getting information into our brain, storage retaining that information, retrieval bring the information back out, sequential vs. Sensory memory the immediate and very brief recording of sensory information. Short-term memory activated memory that holds a few items briefly. Working memory stresses the active processing that occurs in short-term memory. Incoming sensory information: baddeley"s model of working memory. Encoding memories: explicit memory (declarative memory) memory of facts and experiences that one consciously knows, conscious effortful processing encoding that requires attention and conscious effort, sensory memory, feeds working memory with sights and sounds. Lasting no more than a few tenths of a second: echoic memory a momentary auditory memory. Levels of processing: shallow processing encoding on a very basic level (cid:894)(cid:449)ord"s letters(cid:895) or an intermediate level (cid:894)(cid:449)ord"s sou(cid:374)d(cid:895)
