Memory Processes
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1MEMORY PROCESSES The Encoding Process VISUAL REPRESENTATION.This takes on the form of a visual image of the information
- 2MEMORY PROCESSES The Encoding Process ACOUSTIC REPRESENTATION.This takes on the form of sounds so that you hear the information in your head.
- 3MEMORY PROCESSES The Encoding Process SEMANTIC REPRESENTATION.This represents information - WORDS AND OBJECTS - in terms of their meaning.
ie; the meaning of a word or the name of an object. - 4MEMORY PROCESSES The Storage Process.It is used to maintain information in the memory.
Material may be lost in the FIRST FEW MINUTES but if not can last up to a LIFETIME. - 5MEMORY PROCESSES The Retrieval Process RECOGNITION.Probably the EASIEST of the retrieval processes.
We recognise words on a page, friends in the street and words of a song.
This involves matching something we are currently perceiving to something already in our memory. - 6MEMORY PROCESSES The Retrieval Process RECALLFAIRLY EASY TO DO.
We can recall where we were last Saturday, where we went on holiday last year etc.
This involves summoning up something in our memory and bringing it into our conciousness. - 7MEMORY PROCESSES The Retrieval Process REPRODUCTION.PROBABLY THE HARDEST TO DO.
We have to draw directly from our stored memories and try to reproduce what we have in our memory about a certain topic or item. - 8THE MEMORY PROCESSES
