Stages of Memory
Memory Storage
Criticisms of Memory Experiments
Memory Retrieval
Memory Encoding
The way we store information affects the way we recall it
Most research done on memory is done in a lab
Refers to recalling information
Information can be encoded three ways
Acoustic (sound)
Semantic (meaning)
Visual (picture)
People repeat things they want to remember, this is called rehearsal
short-term memory capacity is 5-9
chucking information together can make it easier to remember
STM is stored and recalled sequentially
information can only be stored for a certain amount of time in STM (0-30 seconds), LTM can last a lifetime
LTM is stored and recalled associationally
LTM stored and recalled associationally
The setting, the lab, and the tasks patients are asked to do are different from everyday actions
Sometime the setting not real and the tasks hold no meaning
