ACCTG 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Sensory Memory, Working Memory, Implicit Memory
Document Summary
Ref: gray, p. & bjorklund, d. f. (2014), psychology (7th ed. ). Control processes: govern the processing of info. within stores and the movement of information from one store to another attention rehearsal encoding, retrieval. Working memory = short-term store: each item fades quickly and is lost within seconds when it is no longer actively attended to or thought about. Info can enter short-term store through the sensory store or long-term store. The momentary capacity of the short-term store is very small (only a few items of information can be perceived or thought about at once). Yet the total amount of information that moves through the short-term store over a period of minutes or hours can be enormous, Stored representation of all that a person knows = enormous capacity. Long-term memory is passive (a repository of info), and the short-term store (working memory) is active (a place where information is thought about).
