Document Summary
To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. confucius. Sensing vs. perceiving e. g. , imagining, perceiving a stroll down the beach, the same beach strolling neural networks are being activated. In some ways, the same types of processes work for different aspects of our cognition. They conceptualized (thinking about metaphors for information processing) memory in terms of data storage and retrieval. Different storage systems serve different functions, operating over different time scales: sm stm ltm are three systems that operate on different time scales. Sensory memory is very fast acting on a very quick time scale. Your stm system is a longer time scale system, but can"t store as much data as the sm. Sm gets everything, holds onto it for very short amount of time and then sends what we paid attention to to the stm to hold a number of pieces of information for a longer period of time.
