PSYC 1010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Active Desktop, Multiple Choice, Working Memory
Document Summary
= (re) constructive process active organization and shaping of information as it is being processed, stored, and retrieved. (not like opening a file on a computer) Recall: retrieving info learned at an earlier time (not thinking about it, but know it) ex. Recognition: identification of items previously learned (multiple choice question) Relearning: learning something faster the 2nd time (classic riding a bike) Sensory memory- feeling, to be remembered (always a butt load coming at you / it stays for a couple seconds / could be remembered if you want it to be) Short-term memory- processing info 7 items +/- 2) Working memory- not just brief storage, but an active desktop (makes sense of levels of processing, distributed practice) Integrating new information with old information (chunking, rehearsal, Decay- just goes away with lack of use. Interference- retroactive and proactive stuff is not coded properly. Proactive- study for biology then study for psyc, now the biology.
