Attention: focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Levels-of-processing theory: deeper levels of processing result in longer-lasting memory codes. Elaboration: linking a stimulus to other information at the time of encoding. Dual-coding theory: memory is enhanced by forming semantic and visual codes, since either can lead to recall. Self-referent encoding: deciding how or whether information is personally relevant. Sensory memory: preserves information in tis original sensory form for a brief time, usually only a fraction of a second. Short-term memory (stm): a limited-capacity store that can maintain unrehearsed information for up to about 20 seconds. Rehearsal: process of repetitively verbalizing or thinking about the information. Chunk: group of familiar stimuli stored as a single unit.
