Document Summary
Psychology 258 october 16th: define memory, describe modal model of memory, describe sensory memory, describe short-term memory, describe structure and function of working-term memory. Ability to encode, store and retrieve information via: Assumption that there is a change in nervous system. Retention of previous experience (i. e. touching a hot stove once and will not do that again) Help us operate in the present (also past and future) Without memory in the past, we will not know how to interact in the present. Retain information from the past to plan for future. On your own - provide the information. Give a bunch of numbers and ask how many random # is remembered. Given 2 words, 1st word is given and the 2nd word is asked to recall. Controlling all extraneous variables (i. e. given list of words with meaning, people remember them due to meaning, not memory) External validity - how people use memory.
