PSYCH 1X03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Short-Term Memory, Long-Term Memory, Nonsense Word
Document Summary
Realized all of the metaphors used for memory have something in common: Each assumes memory can be stored in an identical, undistorted form inputted information. Retrieving information is as simple as assessing a stored data in the brain that has been kept in a speci c place. Memory is however subject to intepretation and reconstruction. Encoding: data entry into memory: highly depended on attention: what will be stored. Storage: how the record of information is maintained. Record can be xed: how will it be stored. Retrieval: recovering stored information via cues: how can memory to return to consciousness. One memory acts as a cue to trigger other memories: early researches focused on these cues because they are mostly behaviourists. As people memorize nonsense word list, each word in the list acts as a cue to trigger memory of the word that followed ( each pearl connects to form a necklace: in order)
