1
Q
sensory memory encoding
A
sense specific
2
Q
sensory memory capacity
A
large
3
Q
sensory memory duration
A
up to 1/2 a second
4
Q
sensory memory forgetting
A
decay
5
Q
how is info. moved from SM to STM
A
attention
6
Q
STM encoding
A
acoustic
7
Q
STM capacity
A
7+/-2 chunks
8
Q
what is chunking and how does it improve STM capacity
A
grouping info. in 7+/-2 chunks= STM’s capacity
means sits more manageable- helps you remember more
9
Q
STM duration
A
15-30 secs
10
Q
STM forgetting
A
decay/displacement
11
Q
how is info. moved from STM to LTM?
A
prolonged rehearsal
12
Q
LTM encoding
A
semantic
13
Q
LTM capacity
A
unlimited
14
Q
LTM duration
A
unlimited
15
Q
LTM forgetting
A
retrieval failure/interference
