A | B |
Huge capacity, very briefly held | Sensory Memory |
This is is needed to transfer information to working memory | Attention |
Visual info that is only kept for about .3 of a second | Iconic Memory |
Audition info kept for only about 2-3 seconds | Echoic Memory |
Study with rows of letters that showed large capacity of sensory memory | Sperling |
Also Known as Working Memory | Short Term Memory |
Capacity of Short Term Memory | 7 +or- 2 |
Holds info for about 30 seconds | Working Memory or STM |
Mental or verbal repetition of information | Maintenance Rehearsal |
In Braddeley's Working Memory Model the STM is called this | Central Executive |
Grouping small bits of information into larger units of information | Chunking |
Has unlimited capacity and is thought to last forever | Long Term Memory |
Process that controls movement from STM to LTM storage | Encoding |
Process that controls flow of information from long-term to working memory | Retrieval |
Unconscious encoding of information is this kind of processes | Automatic |
Requires attention and conscious effort for this kind of processing | Effortful |
relate the info to info you already know. | Elaborative Rehearsal |
Applies info to yourself. | Self-reference effect |
Came up with the Levels of Processing framework | Craik and Lockhart |
information can be consciously recollected; also called declarative memory | Explicit memory |
memory that affects behavior but cannot consciously be recalled; also called nondeclarative memory | Implicit memory |
Memory tied to your own personal experiences | Episodic Memory |
General facts and definitions about the world | Semantic or Generic Memories |
Memory that enables you to perform specific learned skills or habitual responses | Procedural Memory |
This is implicit because it does not depend on awareness and is automatic | Priming |
The semantic meaning of priming stimulus influences your encoding or retrieval. Works across modalities | Conceptual Priming |
Prime enhances ability to identify a test stimulus based on its physical features | Perceptual Priming |
Remember list items better if list presented in categories | Hierarchical Organization |
Mental links between concepts | Semantic Network Model |
