Study Notes

Types of Memory

  • Long-term memory is involved in retaining, retrieving, and using information about stimuli, images, events, ideas, and skills after the original information is no longer present.

Short-Term Memory

  • Holds five to seven items for about 15 to 20 seconds.
  • The initial stage that holds all incoming information for seconds or fractions of a second is called Sensory Memory.
  • Control processes that can be controlled by the person include attention, rehearsal, and retrieval strategies.

Long-Term Memory

  • Procedural memory involves muscle coordination.

Sensory Memory

  • Iconic memory is responsible for the persistence of visual stimulus even after it is no longer present.
  • The partial-report method is used to measure the capacity and duration of sensory memory, involving asking participants to report as many letters as they could see.

Auditory Memory

  • Echoic memory refers to the brief sensory memory of the things that we hear.
  • Sensory memory holds a large amount of information for a short period of time.

Interference

  • Proactive interference occurs when new learning interferes with remembering old learning.
