Study Notes
Sensory Memory
- After being recorded in the sensory memory, information moves to short-term memory.
Working Memory
- Conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual information occurs in working memory.
- Baddeley's central executive handles focusing attention during information input to long-term memory.
Encoding
- Automatic processing occurs without conscious awareness and produces implicit memories.
- Effortful processing, which requires conscious effort and attention, allows for encoding of explicit memories.
Memory System
- The two-track memory system underscores the distinct processes involved in conscious and unconscious memories.
Iconic Memory
- Iconic memory represents momentary sensory memory for visual stimuli.
Short-Term Memory
- Short-term memory can retain 7 +/- 2 information bits.
Chunking
- Chunking involves categorizing items into familiar units for easier recall.
Short-Term Memory
- Verbal information in short-term memory is easily forgotten if not rehearsed.
Effortful Processing
- Effortful processing engages conscious attention and deliberate encoding.
Hierarchical Organization
- Organizing new information into broad concepts with specific categories enhances retrieval.
