The study of how people acquire, process, store, and use knowledge - essentially, how we think about the world.

Memory is the process of acquiring, retaining, and retrieving information about past experiences.

The temporary memory store where we hold information we are currently aware of. It has a limited capacity.

The permanent memory store where information is stored for potentially unlimited time. It can hold information for years until we want to retrieve it.

The way information is stored in memory. It can be sensory (like a picture), acoustic (like a sound), or semantic (like a meaning).

The ability to retain and retrieve information over time. It involves encoding, storage, and retrieval processes.

Different stages or systems of memory that hold information for varying durations and with different capacities. These include sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

Different categories of long-term memory based on the kind of information stored. These include episodic memory (personal experiences), semantic memory (general knowledge), and procedural memory (skills and habits).

Influences on the accuracy of eyewitness accounts, including leading questions (suggesting answers) and post-event discussion (information shared with others).

The limited amount of information that can be held in STM at a time, estimated to be between 5-9 items.

The length of time information can be stored in STM, typically around 18-30 seconds.

The potentially unlimited amount of information that can be stored in LTM.

The potentially lifelong duration of information stored in LTM.

A memory task where participants are asked to recall as much information as possible from a list, in any order.
