Study Notes
Memory Models
- The Atkinson and Shiffrin model describes memory processes as flowing from sensory memory to short-term memory, and then to long-term memory.
Short-Term Memory
- Maximum capacity of short-term memory is typically 7±2 items.
- Information can be held for about 20-30 seconds without rehearsal.
- If information is not encoded from short-term memory, it is likely to be forgotten.
Long-Term Memory
- Long-term memory has relatively permanent storage and an unlimited capacity.
- Duration of long-term memory can last from days to a lifetime, depending on encoding and retrieval processes.
Sensory Memory
- Stimulus information from the environment first enters sensory memory, where it is briefly stored before processing.
