Memory Types and Processes
- Iconic memory lasts for only a few hundred milliseconds.
- Short-term memory has a limited capacity, often referred to as "seven plus or minus two" chunks of information.
- Rehearsal is the process of repetitively thinking or verbalizing about information to retain it in short-term memory.
- Chunking is the process of increasing the amount of information held in short-term memory by organizing it into smaller groups or units.
- Decay of information occurs in short-term memory, typically within 15-30 seconds if not rehearsed or consolidated into long-term memory.
- Maintenance rehearsal is a type of repetition that helps retain information in short-term memory, but not necessarily leading to long-term retention.
- Long-term memory has a potentially unlimited capacity.
- Episodic memory stores general knowledge and dated recollections of personal experiences.
- Semantic memory stores general knowledge and facts.
- Encoding is the process of converting information into a code, such as visual or acoustic, to store it in memory.
