Processes-called working memory because this is where we encode, Important because working memory capacity is related to many academic organize, and retrieve info skills: rehearsal effect on long term memory storage long term memory. Maintenance rehearsal-info is repeated over and over again with no. Dual coding theory /long term: long term memory. Contains schemata-interrelated networks of associated ideas into which new knowledge is assimilated. Implications for instruction: short term memory and its control processes.
