Memory# Flashcards
What is the process of making short term memory into long term memory called
Rehearsal ( encoding )
What is the the process of taking information from your long term memory called
Retrieval ( decoding )
What is selective attention
Filtering out irrelevant information
Processing important information
What is the capacity and duration of your Sensory Store
Very large capacity
0.25s - 1s duration
What is the capacity and duration of your short term memory
5-9 pieces of information
30s duration
How is information organised in short term memory
By chunking / grouping
What is the capacity and duration of long term memory
Unlimited capacity
Unlimited duration as long as information is retrieved and rehearsed
Using the store memory model describe the process of a penalty
Irrelevant information such as crowd is filtered out - SS
Important information is processed such as the positioning of the goal keeper - STM
Past experience in your long term memory are decoded and compared to your current short term memory to provide the appropriate response- LTM
Describe the levels of processing model
The deeper information is processed the more likely we are to remember it
Describe the three stages of the levels of processing model
Structural - what it looks like
Phonetic - what it sounds like
Semantic - considering the actual meaning of information
What has the strongest memory trace
Semantic understanding
What has the weakest memory trace
Structural understanding
How can we improve retention ( processing model )
Association - linking old with new Info
Meaningful - more relevant info be remembered
Avoiding over load - 5-9 key points
Define personality
Patterns and thoughts and feelings and the way we interact with our environment
