atkison shift model

stores = retains information in memory without using it for any specific process control process = the shift in information from one memory to another atkinson shift model = shows haw shifting and changing can occur in the brain match1 = match2

3 memory types

sensory memory = has a large capacity, but is limited in the amount of time it can hold onto information, holds onto all sensory memory short term memory = has a longer memory time stored, but has limited capacity, allows some memories to stay active and some to move on long term memory = has a very large capacity, holds onto memory for a long time, not all information will make its way here and what we will remember is only a small fraction of what we experience match 1 = match 2

this task focuses on a whole report and a partial report

whole report; memory in limited capacity, where people are shown letters on a flashing screen and told to say how many letters they remember

partial report; where on is shown flashing letters and after would hear a tone, high=top row, medium= middle row, low= bottom row
