Study Notes
Memory Process
- Chunking: grouping stimuli by meaning to form a single memory unit
- Retrieval: process of retrieving information from long-term memory to the workbench memory
- Response Generation: reconstructing memory traces to form a representation of the thing being remembered or processed
Types of Memory
- Long-term Memory: unlimited capacity and duration, stores all information a person has encountered
- Sensory Memory: stores visual (iconic storage) and auditory (echoic storage) information
- Workbench Memory (Short-term Memory): temporary storage area for information before encoding to long-term memory
Encoding and Retrieval
- Encoding: process of transferring information from workbench memory to long-term memory
- Retrieval: process of transferring information from long-term memory back to workbench memory
Factors Affecting Memory
- Repetition: mentally repeating information to hold it in short-term memory
- Dual Coding: using two different sensory traces to remember something
- Meaningful Encoding: associating new information with information recalled from long-term memory
- Chunking: grouping stimuli by meaning to form a single memory unit
Physical and Environmental Factors
- Physical Limits: limitations in a person's ability to hear, see, smell, taste, and think can influence comprehension
- Environmental Characteristics:
- Information Intensity: amount of information available in a given environment
- Framing: phenomenon where the meaning of something is influenced by the information environment
- Prospect Theory: whether or not thinking about something using concrete or abstract mindset
- Timing: amount of time to process a message and point in time when the message is received
Theories and Concepts
- Multiple Store Theory of Memory: three-stage process of memory (sensory, short-term, long-term)
- Construal Level Theory: how information framing affects risk assessments and consumer decisions
- Priming: cognitive process where active concepts activate other closely associated concepts
- Rumination: unintentional, spontaneous, recurrent memory of past events
- Tag: small piece of coded data that helps retrieve information
- Memory Trace: mental path by which a thought becomes active, showing how cognitive activation spreads from one concept to another
