Document Summary
Memory: freed recall (produces poorest performance), cued recall, recognition, serial recall availability vs. accessibility relation between recognition and recall: recall = generate + recognize three memory processes. The magic number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing info. Can use maintenance rehearsal to keep info in stm. Also called rote rehearsal, this process can transfer info into ltm: encoding in stm is primarily acoustic, chunking to overcome stm limits (not. Without rehearsal stm can only last about 18s: longer duration than sensory memory, types of ltm: Declarative memory (divided into the two below) Semantic memory (general knowledge, ex knowng the four seasons) I hit a game-winning home run in my final little league game ) Running around the bases before the ball is retrieved is a home run; rules you know) Semantic memory: normally unaware of ltm, large capacity, longer span than stm, semantic encoding.
