PSY-235 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Implicit Memory, Long-Term Memory, Sensory Memory
Document Summary
From the present moment, we remember from our past experiences. Tasks used for measuring memory: implicit vs. explicit. Using mavis beacon typing makes it become implicit memory bc you no longer have to stare and look for the keys. Kind of just know what words mean instead of looking them all up. We know what it should say, which is why it is funny. Modal model of memory: atkinson and shiffrin (1968): Took bits of pieces of other theories, combined them, and came up with the traditional memory model . Initial stage that holds all incoming info for seconds or fractions of a second. About 15-20 second window where we can hold/remember 5-7 items. Anything else that does not apply to sensory or short-term memory. What you ate for breakfast, what you remember from years ago, etc. All those arrows going into sensory memory. Will lose a whole bunch of info that we see as.
