Q

INCOMING STIMULI IN SENSORY MEMORY ARE FILTERED ON THE BASIS OF SIMPLE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS INSTEAD OF MOVING TO STM OR BEING LOST, A LESSENING (ATTENUATION) OF THE SIGNAL STRENGTH OF UNSELECTED SENSORY STIMULI IN COMPARISON TO THE SELECTED STIMULI

Q

ONLY THE STIMULI THAT MEET A CERTAIN THRESHOLD OR IMPORTANCE ARE PROCESSED, SINCE THE ATTENUATED STIMULI ARE STILL PRESENT, SOMETHING AS SUBJECTIVELY IMPORANT AS ONE’S OWN NAME MAY BE ABLE TO BE PLUCKED OUT OF THE ATTENUATED INCOMING STIMULI

19
Q

ACTS AS A INTERPRETER FOR BOTH THE VISUAL AND AUDITORY INFORMATION

A

CENTRAL EXECUTIVE

20
Q

_ and _ information are themselves contained in short-term memory

A

VISUAL AND AUDITORY INFORMATION

21
Q

WANTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH INFORMATION HUMANS CAN HOLDS IN SHORT-TERM MEMORY AT ANY ONE TIME OR HOW MANY “FILES” WILL FIT ON THE “DESK”

A

CAPACITY: THE MAGICAL NUMBER SEVEN, OR FIVE OR FOUR GEORGE MILLER (1956)

22
Q

WHO REVIEWED A SEVERAL MEMORY STUDIES USING A MEMORY TEST CALLED THE DIGIT-SPAN TEST

A

GEORGE MILLER (1956)

23
Q

A MEMORY TEST IN WHICH A SERIES OF NUMBERS IS READ TO SUBJECTS IN THE STUDY WHO ARE THEN ASKED TO RECALL THE NUMBERS IN ORDER, EACH SERIES GETS LONGER AND LONGER, UNTIL THE SUBJECTS CANNOT RECALL ANY OF THE NUMBERS IN ORDER

A

DIGIT-SPAN TEST

24
Q

PROCESS OF RECODING AND REORGANIZING THE INFORMATION

A

CHUNKING

25
Q

A WAY TO FOOL THE STM INTO HOLDING MORE INFORMATION, BITS OF INFORMATION ARE COMBINED INTO MEANINGFUL UNITY OR CHUNKS, MORE INFORMATION CAN BE HELD IN STM

A

CHUNKING

26
Q

SAYING SOMETHING ONE WANTS TO REMEMBER OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN THEIR HEADS CAN HELP THEM REMEMBER LONGER

A

MAINTENANCE REHEARSAL

27
Q

A PERSON IS SIMPLY CONTINUING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION TO BE HELD IN MEMORY AND SINCE ATTENTION IS HOW THAT INFORMATION GOT INTO STM IN THE FIRST PLACE, WORKS QUITE WELL

A

MAINTENANCE REHEARSAL

28
Q

WITH THIS TYPE OF REHEARSAL, INFORMATION WILL STAY IN STM UNTIL REHEARSAL STOPS

A

MAINTENANCE REHEARSAL

29
Q

WHEN _ STOPS THE MEMORY RAPIDLY DECAYS AND IS FORGOTTEN

A

REHEARSAL

Q

IF ANYTHING INTERFERES WITH _ REHEARSAL, MEMORIES ARE ALSO LIKELY TO BE LOST
