Document Summary
Memory systems: memory is a collection of several systems that store information in different forms, atkinson-shiffrin model (pg 237 to see model), three memory stores (store is something that keeps information in memory) Sensory memory: info from vision, hearing, other senses. Iconic memory is from sight, held in memory for half to one second: echoic memory is from hearing, held in memory for up to 5 seconds, experiment: whole report and partial report conditions (pg 237) Short-term memory (stm): storage with limited capacity and stored for less than a minute. Long term memory (ltm): storage of information for a long time if not permanently, associated with hippocampus: control processes: shift information from one store to another. Attention: moves info from sensory memory to stm. Is train a synonym with locomotive (deep processing: people will tend to remember that word train better if you ask them later.
