Document Summary
Stm vs ltm (short-term memory vs long-term memory) Ingrained skills: something you will never forget, cannot do anything more . Acquisition: encoding: getting into memory, memory trace, retention (storage). When some people fail to talk about the memories, it is hard to tell it is because of the acquisition or the retrieval. Recognition: identify information way easier than the recall . Information sensory register (very fast, 30msec) short-term memories (stm) through the process of rehearsal long-term memories. There are numbers of disorders whose people don"t have short-term memories. Information is held for fraction of a second. Trace fades quickly: visual ===> icon; auditory ===> echo. attend to the dot on the screen. Other registers very poor: the smell of a rose people have the image of the rose in their heads first and then maybe get the smell later. If there is no rehearsal ---> info lost: forgetting.
