Memory: the learning that has persisted overtime through encoding, storage, and retrieval. Computer has inputs > process and stores info > outputs. Memory > encode info > stores that info > retrieval component. Sensory memory: preserves info in its original sensory form for a short time. The sensation of the stimulus lingers briefly after stimulus ends. Iconic store visual (1/4th of a second) Attention is needed for sensory to move on to the next store house (short term memory aka stm) Has a limited capacity and can hold seven plus or minus 2 items of info (memory span) Displacement: piece of info bumps another piece of info out of buffer system. Elaborative rehearsal: (creating associations) most efficient way to get to long term memory: mnemonics (memory aids, acronyms (memory aids, peg word system.
