Document Summary

Key attributes of memory: learning that has persisted over time. Information that has been stored over time. Information that can be retrieved over time. The three- stage model of memory. Information is processed in short- term/working memory. Information is encoded into long- term memory for later retrieval. It is coordinated by a central executive processor. There"s a sticky bun in a tree and there"s also a sticky shoe in a tree and another heaven. Sensory memory: the immediate, initial recording of sensory information in the memory system, briefest form of memory storage. Long-term memory: unlimited capacity, but not as accurate as sensory memory or short- term memory, organizes and stores information. Storing implicit and explicit memories. Explicit (declarative) memory can be consciously recalled: explicit memory. He couldn"t recall new events or facts: they are still able to learn and are able to be classically conditioned.
