Q

for output , memories are useless unless they can be… through …

A

retrieval, recall, recognition, reproduction

17
Q

what is capacity

A

a measure of the amount that can be held in the memory

18
Q

what is duration

A

a measure of how long a memory lasts before it is no longer available

19
Q

what is encoding

A

the way information is changed so it can be stored in memory

20
Q

how does encoding enter

A

through the senses

21
Q

how is encoding stored

A

visual, acoustic or semantic(meaning)

22
Q

what is sensory memory’s capacity

A

unknown

23
Q

what is the duration of sensory memory

A

0.5 to 2 seconds

24
Q

what is sensory memory’s mode of representation

A

it needs changing to be more manageable

25
Q

how does forgetting occur in sensory memory

A

due to decay via lack of attention

26
Q

what is short term memory

A

temporary recall of the information

27

what is long term memory for

A

storage of information over a long time

displacement , decay

35

A

sequence

36
Q
