memory
persistence of learning over time through storage and retrieval of info
sensory memory
brief storage of info from your senses
short term memory
ability to recall info for about 15-30 seconds
working memory
part of short term memory that holds cognitive infor temporarilly so we can problem solve and make decisions
long term memory
unlimited info stored for infinite amount of time
explicit memories
requires conscious recall
semantic memory
type of explicit memory- word meanings facts/school
episodic memory
type of explicit memory-events from your life
prospective memory
remembering to perform an action in the future
implicit memory
doesn’t require conscious recall-can become procedural with rehearsal
iconic memory
type of sensory memory- brief visual memory
echoic memory
type of sensory memory- brief auditroy memory
haptic
somatosensory
gustatory
taste
encoding
moving info from short term to long term can be automatic or effortful
phonological loop
helps us remember auditory info like words, sounds, songs
visuospatial sketchpad
helps us remember what things look like or how they’re laid out
central executive
controls working memory, connects short term with long term so you can connect new info with stored info
levels of processing model
focuses on how we encode info
structural encoding
visual- what it looks like
phonetic encoding
sounds- rehearsal of words, rhythmic patterns or songs
shallow processing
when we only take in superficial sensory info (not meanings) -structural and phonetic
deep processing
when we attach meaning to info and create associaions between new memories and exisiting memories
forgetting curve
amount we forget over a span of time
