Document Summary
Parallel: searching for one feature is fast and automatic. Searching for two or more features is slow and effortful. It is easy for us to miss (even very obvious things) when they violate our expectations. Encoding phase: info is acquired and processed into a neural code the brain can use. Storage phase: retention of encoded information (whether for a moment or lifetime) Retrieval phase: recalling or remembering the stored info when we need it. Memory is not a recording, it is a reconstruction. : memory for sensory info that lasts for an extremely brief time. Memory that will only remain for seconds, unless you actively think about it this is known as maintenance rehearsal e. g. , remembering a phone number/license plate. Chunking: organizing info into meaningful units to make it easier to remember. Working memory refers to structures and processes used to temporarily store and manipulate information. Episodic buffer: integrates info, links to ltm.
