MSM Flashcards
what are the 3 stages of memory
encoding
storage
retrieval
what is the capacity for sensory memory
huge capacity
duration of sensory register
less than half a second/milliseconds
how does info pass from sensory register to STM
paying attention to it
whats iconic memory
Visual sensory memory holds information for around 1.5 seconds
whats echoic memory
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
how is stm encoded
acousically
capacitySTM
7+/-2 items
who found capacity stm
miller
duration stm
18-30 seconds
who found duration stm
petersen
whats it called when we repeat info to ourselves in out stm
maintenance rehersal
how do we pass info from stm to ltm
prolongued maintenance rehersal
whats lack of rehersal cause
forgetting
whats happens when stm becomes too full
displacement
what needs to happen to pass info into ltm
make sense of info and assign it a verbal label
how do we make a durable memory in ltm
using more cognitive effort like mnemonics,repitition, elaboration,association, quizzes
how is ltm encoded
semantically
whats the capacity ltm
unlimited
duration ltm
very long time over 46 years
who stated the duration of the ltm
bahrick
how can we remember information
through retrival
what happens when retrieval occurs
information is transfered back into stm
what will happen after ltm moves back to ltm
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
