Study Notes
Types of Memory
- One type of memory not available to conscious awareness is implicit memory.
Sensory Memory
- Sensory memory has a duration of 1-2 seconds.
Sensory Register
- Iconic memory is the term for the sensory register of an event that provides a fast and accurate representation.
Working Memory
- The Visuospatial Sketchpad is the component of working memory responsible for visual and spatial processing.
- The Phonological Loop has a capacity of 1-2 seconds, and can hold 7 ± 2 chunks of information.
Long-term Memory
- Episodic memory is the type of long-term memory associated with personally experienced events with context, like time and place.
Working Memory Processes
- Chunking is the term used to describe the process of combining individual pieces of information into larger, meaningful units in working memory.
Memory Characteristics
- Flashbulb memory is characterized by highly detailed and vivid recollections, often accompanied by high confidence ratings.
Forgetting
- Decay is NOT a primary cause of forgetting.
Amnesia
- Anterograde amnesia is characterized by an inability to retain new memories, but the ability to remember events prior to the injury.
Memory Retrieval
- The context-dependent memory effect is the phenomenon where the closer the 'overlap' between the encoding and retrieval situations, the more likely something is remembered.
