- - - - Sensory register = Duration: ¼ to ½ second. Capacity: all sensory experience (v. larger capacity). Encoding: sense specific (different stores for each sense).
      - STM = Duration: 0-18 seconds. Capacity: 7 +/- 2 items. Encoding: mainly acoustic.
      - LTM = Duration: unlimited. Capacity: unlimited. Encoding: mainly semantic (but can be visual and acoustic).
- - - - Procedural knowledge involves “knowing how” to do things. It included skills, such as “knowing how” to playing the piano. It does not involve conscious thought.
      - Declarative knowledge involves “knowing that”, for example London is the capital of England. Recalling information from declarative memory involves some degree of conscious effort – information is consciously brought to mind and “declared”.
    - - Semantic = responsible for storing information about the world. This includes knowledge about the meaning of words, as well as general knowledge. It requires conscious thought and is declarative.
        For example, London is the capital of England.
      - Procedural = responsible for knowing how to do things. It is unconscious, automatic, and not declarative. An example is riding a bike.
