- encoding
- storage
- retrieval
what is encoding
- the process we use to take in and recode information so we can store it
what is retrieval
accessing and retrieving stored information
- reversing prcoess of encoding
what is the well known model of memory bu Atkinson and Shiffrin 1968
sensory stores to STM to LTM
- propose input of info that follows a chain through experince of senses to STM then to LTM
how does sensory stores go to STM then to LTM
SS TO STM- attention
STM to LTM- rehearsal
sperling 1960 study of sensory memory
presented fast stimuli for a fraction of second
- use of sensory memory
- said they saw more but cannot recall
what coukd you say about response in sperling 1960’s 2nd approach to sensory memory
- as time got closer to 500ms graph begins to show deline in recalling of information
where did sperling say the sensory memory information was being held in when less then more second to answer
- in iconic store
in sperlings 1960 study, in auditory study
- in echoic store
glaner and cunitz 1966 study, presented people with table of word, with free recall what was found?
- found more items at start and end of list were recalled more
whats the serial position effect
the position of work in a list matters how it is recalled, start and end of list are better recalled than middle of lists
whats the recency effect
tendency to remember words at end of a list
whats the pirmary effect
tendency to remember words at start of list
what are the recency and primary effect an example of together?
a dual store account of memory
why are words in middle of list forgotten
not rehearsed enough for further storage
- and not available in SHORT TERM storage
