Q

What does information move through?

A

Information moves through attention and verbal recall

16
Q

What is Sensory memory?

A

Very short duration,large capacity
Attention transfers,information to STM

17
Q

What is STM?

A

Limited duration (30 seconds) and capacity (5-9 items),acoustic coding

18
Q

What is role of rehearsal?

A

Rehearsal keeps information in STM
Repeat rehearsal transfers STM into LTM

19
Q

What is LTM?

A

Semantic coding,unlimited capacity and stored up to a lifetime

20
Q

What is the primacy effect?

A

Words at the beginning are more remembered (rehearsed, so in LTM)

21
Q

What is the recencey effect?

A

Words at the end are more remembered (heard recently, so in STM)
