Attention: selects which information is passed onto stm. Encoding: the process of storing information in the ltm system. Sensory memory: holds perceptual information for a very brief period of time. Iconic memory: visual perceptions held for 0. 5-1 second. Echoic memory: auditory held for about 5 seconds. Change blindness: inability to spot the difference unless attention is focused. Short-term memory: memory store with a limited capacity and for under a minute. Chunking: organizing smaller units of information into larger more meaningful units. Long-term memory: holds information for long periods of time if not permanently. Tip of the tongue phenomenon: ability to retrieve similar sounding words but not the actual word - due to organization in semantic categories. Nearby nodes in the neural network are activated.
