echoic - momentary memory sound & speech
sensory registers
hold info about a perceived stimulus for fraction of a second after stimulus appears
STM. how can you improve it?
short term memory. holds 7 +- 2 digits for 20 - 30 seconds. Improve by chunking, imagery, repetition, rehearsal, simple message, elaboration
LTM
permanently stored knowledge, large capacity
retrieval failures for LTM
decay (forgetting), interference (distractions, remember pieces), forget certain attributes, retrieval error
3 Measures of memory? define
Recall - Unaided: name first 5 pres of US
Recall - Aided: give first letter of last name, then name 5 pres of US
