Document Summary

Also the store of what has been learned and remembered. Three processes: encoding/consolidation = translating into neural code, storage = retained over time, retrieval = pulled back out. Permanent method of storing memories: long-term memory: November 17, 2015: hearing something, but not understanding until a second or so later , longer, 2-5 sec. What did you say oh wait, never mind . Temporary storage area before moving to longer term memory. What kinds of information (memory codes) can be stored here: images (visual), sounds (phonological), meaning (semantic), action (motor) Interestingly, the memory code does not need to match the stimulus. (e. g. , you might say a phone number to yourself to remember it) Around 28% of spelling mistakes are for words that sound the same. Rapidly lost unless we actively do something" with it. Recency effect: more likely to remember words at the beginning of a list, more likely to remember words at the end of the list.
