PS102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Baddeley'S Model Of Working Memory, Episodic Memory, Sensory Memory
Document Summary
The process and types of memory (three memory stores: sensory memory: visual, acoustic, haptic, working memory: visuospatial sketchpad, phonological loop, episodic buffer, central executive, long term memory: episodic, semantic, procedural. How memory works: two theories: information processing theory. Information is stores and retrieved piece by piece. Parallel distributed model: the web of memories is similar to how neurons form networks in our brain, the pdp model of memory suggests that memories are stored in a network of associations throughout our brains. Encoding: the transformation of information from one form/code to another (neural code, code can be sound pattern, letter sequence, image, and tactile cue, paying attention to incoming information. Storage: the retention of encoded information over time, has to be a memory trace, can last from fractions of a second (sensory memory) to several seconds (short-term and working memory) to indefinitely (long-term memory)
