Document Summary
Short-term memory and the magical number 7 2. The working memory model: an active stm system 3. Long-term memory systems: declarative and nondeclarative memories 3. The forgetting curve: how soon we forget 5.

Sensory memory: a memory store that accurately holds perceptual information for a very brief amount of time. The phonological loop: a storage component of working memory that relies on rehearsal and that stores information as, engages some portions of the brain that specialize in speech and listening sounds, or an auditory code. The episodic buffer: a storage component of working memory that combines the images and sounds from the other two components into coherent, story-like episodes. The central executive: is the control centre of working memory; it coordinates attention and the exchange of information among the three storage components.
