NEUR 4306 Lecture Notes - Long-Term Memory, Memory Span, Sensory Memory
Document Summary
Part ii of the course will consist of four lectures. (text book chapters 5 & 6) How to differentiate the stores: sts encoding, sts duration, sts codes, sts capacity. 5: (once again, see schematic on p. 16 text, 3 memory structures: 6: how we differentiate the stores, encoding, duration, capacity, type of code(s) 9: phase 2, present consonant cc againt, difference you have them do an intereneing taks. 10: suggests: decay of ccc memory trace in sts if prevent rehearsal, sts memory trace last about 15s. Note: some researchers call this the acoustic articulatory code: it is not just sounds, it is verbal linguisitic, this is the dominant code in short term stores. 15: d. sts capacity, sm very large, lts very large. 16: miller (1958, proposed that we could make short term memory bigger by chunking or grouping things together, showed them the follow sequence: 101 = 5 etc: results: can recall about 21 0"s & 1"s !
