Document Summary

Information processing model: model of memory that assumes the processing of information for memory storage is similar to the way a computer processes memory in a series of three stages. Iii: sequence of events, parallel distributed processing model: network of neural connections, levels-of-processing model, proposed that memory processes take place simultaneously over a large, focuses on the . Depth of processing associated with specific information: deeper processing associated with longer retention. Three stages of memory: : sensory memory. Sensory, short term, long term: stage 1: information enters the nervous system through sensory systems, reticular formation notices new and important information. Iconic sensory memory: a) (1) helps visual system to interpret continuous information (2) sperling, 1960: (3) capacity of iconic memory is everything that can be seen at. Available, but not : memories in ltm may be , ltm memories often have meaning associated with them, ltm = filing cabinets, encoding information in ltm.
