Memories may be visual, auditory, or tactile: memory processes may involve multiple systems. Spotlight analogy: sensory detection, recognition of meaning, response selection. Levels of processing: shallow processing - structural encoding (capital letters, what color, etc , intermediate processing - phonemic encoding (rhyming, homonyms, etc , deep processing - semantic encoding (meaning or symbolism) Facilitating encoding: elaboration, visual imagery, self referential encoding, rehearsal and over-learning, deep and transfer appropriate processing, distributed practice, organize information. Acrostics, acronyms, and rhymes: visual mnemonics: Encoding specificity: encoding specificity principle: idea that ease of retrieval of a memory depends on match of encoding with retrieval. Sensory registers: iconic (visual, echoic (auditory) Characteristics of stm: stm is a variant of memory that is of limited duration: Information in stm fades after 20-30 seconds (without rehearsal: stm has limited capacity storage.
