Document Summary
How stuff gets into memory, is maintained in memory, is pulled back out and how to remember stuff better. Three separate storage systems: sensory memory, working memory and tong-term memory. How info moves between three systems (encoding, storage, retrieval) Encode: how transform information into form that can be retained, requires process of attention. Retrieval: pulling information it back out, to mind. Encoding: info into memory similar to taking cell phone pic, useless until do something with it but you have an image of it stored. Selective attention: don"t encode everything, pick and choose. What to keep or selectively attend to or not. The deeper the longer it lasts, better one remember. Storage: maintain in memory like a hard drive: taking info and making sure its kept in form that can be used later. Three systems: sensory, working and long-term memory. Retrieval: info from memory like getting something off someone"s facebook timeline.
