Document Summary
Memory - persistence of learning over time through the encoding. Recall - retrieving information that is not currently in your conscious awareness but that was learned at an earlier time (ex - written response test [our psych tests]) Recognition - identifying items previously learned (ex - multiple choice test) Found that the more times he practiced a list of nonsense syllables on day 1, the less time he required to relearn it on day 2. Speed of relearning is one measure of memory retention. Psychologists use memory models to think and communicate about memory. Involves three processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Views memories as products of interconnected neural networks. We record to-be-remembered information as a fleeting sensory memory. We process information into short-term memory , where we encode it through. Information moves into long-term memory for later retrieval rehearsal. We loose things out of sensory memory and short term memory.
