    Study Notes

    1. Memory has three stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and Long-Term Memory.
    2. Atkinson and Shiffrin's model of memory is based on the belief that we process memories in the same way that a computer processes information.
    3. Short-term memory has different forms and is like opening different files on a computer and adding information.
    4. Memory trace decay and interference affect short-term memory retention.
    5. Short-term memory capacity is around 7 plus or minus 2, but more contemporary research has found it to be 4 plus or minus 1.
    6. Rehearsal moves information from short-term memory to long-term memory.
    7. Short-term memory is a component of working memory.
    8. Long-term memory storage capacity is believed to be unlimited.
    9. Memories are organized in semantic (or associative) networks.
    10. There are two types of long-term memory: explicit and implicit.
    • Long-term memory is divided into explicit and implicit memory.
    • Explicit memory is memory that can be put into words and is divided into episodic and semantic memory.
    • Episodic memory is memory about personal experiences and is reported as a story.
    • Semantic memory is knowledge about language and facts and is reported as facts.
    • Implicit memory is not part of our consciousness and is demonstrated in the performance of some task.
    • Implicit procedural memory is the memory for skilled actions.
    • Implicit priming is exposure to a stimulus that affects the response to a later stimulus.
    • Implicit emotional conditioning is the type of memory involved in classically conditioned emotion responses.
    • Implicit memories can influence observable behaviors and cognitive tasks.
    • Implicit memories cannot be consciously recalled and are learned outside of our awareness.
