Study Notes
Definition and Scope of Memory
- In psychology, memory refers to the mental process that enables us to store, retain, and retrieve information.
- Memory involves the complex process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information.
The Three Major Processes of Memory
- Encoding: the process of taking in new information and transforming it into a form that can be stored in memory.
- Storage: the process of holding onto information in memory, which can be short-term or long-term.
- Retrieval: the process of accessing stored information and bringing it to conscious awareness.
Types of Memories
- Sensory Memory: brief storage of sensory information in the brain, which is either forgotten or processed further.
- Short-Term Memory: limited capacity, volatile memory that holds information for a short period of time (seconds to minutes).
- Long-Term Memory: permanent, high-capacity memory that stores information for an extended period of time (hours to years).
Limitations of Human Memory
- Human memory is not a flawless process, prone to errors, distortions, and forgetting.
Theories of Forgetting
- (no specific theories mentioned in the text, but this section can be expanded if further information is provided)
