Session 14: Basics of Consumer Memory Flashcards
What are the types of memory?
- Sensory memory
- Short Term memory
- Long term memory
Information lost if not encoded
Sensory and short term memory –> Selective attention
Sensory Memory
- Information that comes in through our senses
- Information stored in its sensory form
- Very short-lived: last only a couple of seconds
- If not processed further, we lose it
Iconic memory
Sensory memory - things we see (visual)
Echoic memory
Sensory memory - things we hear (auditory)
Short- Term Memory (STM)
- Also called working memory
- Integrate incoming information in light of our existing knowledge
- The portion of memory where most of our information processing actually take place
Limitations of STM
- Limited capacity (7+/-2 items)
- Short-lived duration
- 20-30 seconds without intervention
Long-Term Memory (LTM)
- Permanently stored knowledge with unlimited capacity
Long-Term Memory (LTM): Autobiographical (episodic) memory
Knowledge about ourselves and experiences (personally relevant)
Long-Term Memory (LTM): Semantic memory:
Knowledge about the object and its properties
Glad
Episodic memory in creating identification with situation - broken garbage bags with heavy trash
Holiday Inn “towel Amnesty Day”
Episodic Memory Evoking Nostalgia
“The towel came home with us along with lasting memories of once in a lifetime trip to GKTW.”
Ways to improve memory?
- Rehearsal: Actively review material to remember it
- Re circulation: Low involvement
- 6x rule of thumb for remembering
- Familiarity = likability - Chunking
- Dual encoding
- Elaboration
Audi
Recirculation - 4 key rings on their 4 values
Chunking
- Separation of numbers (phone numbers)
- ESPN Entertainment and sports network
- CNN Cable News Network
- AFLAC American Family Life Assurance Company
Dual Encoding
Process in which two different sensory traces are available to remember (e.g., verbal and visual, putting words to music, smell with a visual cue)
