|
Encoding |
Transforming info into a form that can be entered and retained in memory system |
|
|
Storage |
Retaining info in memory so it can be used later |
|
|
Retrieval |
Recovering info stored in memory so that we are consciously aware of it |
|
|
Sensory memory |
Process for basic physical characteristics. Capacity is large and very brief retention (.3 for visual, .2 for audio). Iconic and echoic memory. Attention needed to transfer info to working nemory. |
|
|
Iconic memory |
Brief memory of image or icon. Visual sensory memory. |
|
|
Echoic memory |
Brief memory of sound or echo. Auditory sensory memory. |
|
|
Short term memory |
Concious processing of info. Capacity is limited. Brief storage (about 30 seconds). Like how long you remember a phone number you need to dial. |
|
|
Maintanence rehearsal |
Mental/verbal repetition of info allows info to remain in working memory longer than usual 30 seconds. |
|
|
Chunking |
Grouping small bits of info into larger units of info. It's why we group phone numbers that way. |
|
|
Long term memory |
Organizes and stores info Unlimited capacity Duration thought by some to be permanent. |
|
|
Automatic processing |
Unconscious encoding of info. You dont think about it as its happening. |
|
|
Effortful encoding |
Requires attention and concious effort. Memorizing notes. Memorizing phone number until you can mark it down. |
|
|
Explicit/Declaritive memory |
Memory with awareness. Info that can be consciously recollected. Can use to respond to question. Two types: episodic and semantic. |

|
|
Clustering |
Organizing items into related groups during recall from long term memory |
|
|
Semantic network model |
Mental links between concepts. Shorter path between concepts. Like thinking of apples helps you remember other fruits ect. |
