Q

whats echoic memory

A

Brief memory of sound last around two seconds Without remembering each individual word but able to understand the sentence After passed through the sensory register is either put in the STM or LTM

16
Q

what needs to happen to pass info into ltm

A

make sense of info and assign it a verbal label

17
Q

how do we make a durable memory in ltm

A

using more cognitive effort like mnemonics,repitition, elaboration,association, quizzes

18
Q

how is ltm encoded

A

semantically

19
Q

whats the capacity ltm

20
Q

duration ltm

A

very long time over 46 years

21
Q

who stated the duration of the ltm

22
Q

how can we remember information

A

through retrival

23
Q

what happens when retrieval occurs

A

information is transfered back into stm

24
Q

what will happen after ltm moves back to ltm

A

hold info for brief period of time if we activelt reherse passing through maintenance loop then encoded and transferred back to ltm if dont actively maintain it will be forgotten

25
how can info be lost in ltm
decay- lack of use- or interferance
26
whats eposodic moemory
type of ltm that allows us to remember specific events or experiences from our personal past
27
how is episodic memory encoded
A process called encoding specifically/epososdic encoding giving details to a specific event on the context which it occurred
28
whats semantic memory
type of ltm that stores general knowledge and facts about the world
29
how is semantic memory encoded
By elabrotive rehersal linking meaning or concepts to memories called semantic encoding
30
whats procedural memory
type of ltm that allows us to remember how to perfrom skills and tasks
31
how is procedural memory encoded
Through repetition and practise
32
How is episodic memory retrieved
Process called retrieval queues which are triggered by sensory stimuli emotions or associations with other memories
33
How is semantic memory retrieved
Through conscious effort, cues, related words/concepts to trigger retrieval of semantic infromation
34
How is procedural memory retrieved
more automatically and unconsciously, muscle memory
35
What's maintenance rehearsal
Temporary Maintaining the new information in the short term memory usually works by repetition
36
What's elaborate rehearsal
Memory technique where you relate new information to existing knowledge and your long term memory making it more meaningful and easy to remember
