PS102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Sensory Memory, Sketchpad, Eidetic Memory
Document Summary
Coordinates systems short term memory codes info for long term memory how, just a store ? working component working memory. Allow for two forms of non-competing info to be worked on. Buffer to get info to long term memory central executive. Stimulus from the environment > sensory memory > stm > ltm. If info is not transferred it is lost bottleneck.

Inattentional blindness- failure to notice obvious changes or events. A cluster of interrelated concepts that organize and encode general knowledge of people, objects, events, and procedures.
