Memory

Memory

1. an active system that receives, organizes, stores, and retrieves information

2. three basic steps

   • encoding
   • storage
   • retrieval

3. Models of Memory

   • Information-Processing Model
     • Focuses on the way information is processed through different stages of memory
   • Levels-of-Processing Model
     • Focuses on the depth of processing associated with specific information
     • Deeper processing associated with longer retention
   • Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) Model
     • Focuses on simultaneous processing of information across multiple neural networks
