Multi store model of memory Flashcards
memory
encoding, storing, and retrieving information that we have seen previously
atkiinson shiffrin
incoming sensory information and is stored in sensory memory.
If we choose to pay attention to that sensory information it will move to our short term memory.
When the short term memory has manipulated the information, we will encode it into a form that can be stored in long term memory.
When the memory isn’t used, it will be retireved from short term memory and it will be re encoded into our long term memory. So thats why stories sometimes change when we tell them over and over again.
encoding
converting information into a usable form so it can be manipulated and stored in the brain
storage
retaining for future use
retrieval
accessing information thats stored in our long-term memory and bringing it into conscious awareness in our short term memory.
sensory memory
briefly stores raw information detected by out senses.
iconic memory
stores visual memory and lasts about 0.2-0.4 seconds.
echoic memory
stores auditory information and lasts about
3-4 seconds.
short term memory
memory is conciously manipulated and is only for a short time ( 18-30 seconds ).

chunking
little bits of information are strung together to form one memory so it’s easier to remember.
long term memory
information is stored for a supposed unlimited amount of time.
Declarative memory
knowing that
“i know my sisters name is Ava”
“I know i got to Padua college”
“I know i want to be a psychologist when im older”.
procedural memory
cerebellum is largely used, and is knowing how.
“how to ride a bike “
“how to boil an egg “
“how to get to school from my house”

explicit memory
long term memory that is retireved with concious effort.
implicit memory
long-term memory that is retrieved without conscious effort.
