Document Summary
Uoft was famous for its memory center in the past decade. Memory has a personal factor, who you are is a product of what you remember (which is related to our explicit and implicit identity). One classic model to understand memory is the shiffrin and atkinson model of memory. This model is a combination of different memory systems which are organized in terms of how fast they operate. Sensory input feeds into sensory memory system- a system that very rapidly processes the world and preserves it for a very short period of time. What we pay attention to is very important as it will tend to preserve certain pieces of information in our memory system. The information will be deeply biologically embedded so that it lasts for long periods of time. Attention transfers memory from the sensory memory system into short-term memory system- a memory system that can preserve information for a short period of time.
