- 1phonological storeinner ear. Holds representations of sounds for up to 2 seconds
- 2Articulatory control systemthe part of the phonological loop that holds the sounds we want to keep or speak. the Inner Voice
- 3Visiospatial sketchpadbreifly stores visual and spatial information received from sensory memory or LTM. Inner Eye
- 4episodic bufferstores information from the phonological loop and the visuospatial sketchpad and intergrates that information with LTM to create an episode
- 5central exectutivemoniters, coordinates and intergrates information received from the phonological loop, visuospatical sketchpad, the episodic buffer and LTM
- 6Levels of Processing model
- 7Shallow processinguseing structual encoding .
i see a thing - 8structual encodingencoding information according to its basic perceptual features
- 9intermediate processingthat is a chair
- 10intermediate processingthat is a chair
- 11phonemic encodinggiving something a name
- 12deep processing (semantic)that is a chair on which i sit. i know how it works and i have given it a meaning
- 13semantic encodingencoding information according to meaning
- 14procedural memorya type of LTM for learnt actions and skills that can usually only be expressed as actions
- 15Declarative memorytype of LTM used for specific factual information that can be expressed in words. subgroups are semantic and episodic memory
- 16semantic memorya type of declarative memory for impersonal factual knowledge about the world. (eg. the currency in denmark)
- 17episodic memorydeclarative memory for personally significant events associated with specific times and places
- 18semantic network theory
- 19Amnesiatemporary, permanent, partial or complete loss in memory
- 20hippocampusassociated with memory formation and storage. buried deep in the brain and extends into the temporal lobes
- 21consolidation theorythe process by which a relatively permanent LTM is formed
- 22consolidation theorythe theory that during learning and in the approximately 30 mins after learning, changes in the brain cells occurs as information is transfered from STM to LTM
- 23retrograde amnesiamemory loss for events before the amnesia-causing event
- 24anterograde amnesiaamnesia like in 50 first dates
- 25forgettinginability to retrieve information previously stored in LTM
- 26retrievak failure theorythe theory of forgetting that states that memories are inaccessible because retrieval cues that were present when the memory was formed are missing at the time of retrieval
- 27Elaborative Rehearsallinking new information in some meaningful way with already stored information in LTM or other peices of new information.
- 28serial-position effecta pattern of recall for the list of items. Recall is better for items at the beginning and the end of the list. the middle of the list is more likey to be forgotten
- 29recency effectthe serial position effect where recall is the best for items on the list, then for items at the beginning, then for items in the middle of the list
- 30primacy effectthe serial postition effect where recall is the best for the first items of the list
- 31Long term Memory (LTM)the third memory system in the multi-store model of memory; used for relatively permanent storage of an unlimited amount of information
- 32working memoryan active subsystem of STM that temporarily stores and manipulates a limited amount of information needed to preform cognitive tasks (according to Baddeley and Hitch)
- 33phonological loopstores a limited number of sounds received from the echoic memory or LTM for up to 2 seconds unless rehearsed
- 34EncodingThe process that converts information into a usable form that can be stored and represented in the memory system
- 35Storagethe retention of information in the memory system over time
- 36retrievalthe process of locating information stored in memory and bringing it into consciousness when needed, to complete a cognitive task
- 37multi-store model of memorythe memory model that visualises memory as a system consisting of multiple memory storez
- 38sensory memorythe first stage of the multi store model of memory; recieves and stores un unlimited amount of sensory information. only for a few seconds
- 39sensory registerA subsystem of sensory memory that receives and stores specific sensory information received from a sense organ
- 40Iconic Memorythe subsystem of sensory memory that recieves and stores an unlimited amount of visual information in the form of a visual image for 1/3 or 1/2 of a second
- 41echoic memorythe subsystem of sensory memory that recieves and stores an unlimited amount of auditory information in the form of an echo 3-4 seconds
- 42Short-term memory (STM)the second and most active memory system in the multi store model of memory; stores limited amount of information. Information is forgotten unless rehersed
- 43THE MAGIC NUMBER!!7 (+or -)
the amount of single items that the short term memory can hold - 44chunkinggrouping things together in chunks (eg. phone numbers)
- 45rehearsalthe active manipulation of information in short term memory to hold it longer than 18-20 seconds
- 46maintenance rehearsalrehearsing by repeating something over and over so that it can be remembered for longer than the 18-20 seconds
- 47self-refencinglinking new information to self or personal experience to hold it in short term memory for longer and increase its chances of transfer and retrieval from LTM
