PS102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Short-Term Memory, Long-Term Memory, Asteroid Family
Document Summary
He could remember long term but not short term. The ability to store and retrieve information over time: encoding, storage, retrieval. Converting info into a form of usable in memory. The transformation of info from one form/code to another (neural code) Code can be sound pattern, letter sequence, image, and tactile cue. The retention of encoded info over time. Can last from fractions of a second (sensory memory) > several seconds (short term & working memory > inde nitely (long term memory. Recovery of stored info when it is needed: recall (short answer and essay questions: relies on you to recall info, recognition (m/c questions: gives out choices for the answer relies on you to recognize the correct ones) Information is stored and retired piece by piece. Information moves among three memory stores during encoding, storage, and retrieval. Chart the ways that humans process information from their sensed into memory.
