A S L 3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 30: Sensory System, Gorilla Suit, Iconic Memory
Document Summary
Memory is often thought of as the change within an individual, brought on by learning, which can influence the individual"s future behaviour: learning memory effects future behaviour. One core assumption of information-processing approaches is that an individual has limited mental resources in processing information. A second core assumption is that information moves through a system of stores. Information is brought into the mind by way of the sensory systems, and then it can be manipulated in various ways, placed into long-term storage, and retrieved when needed to solve a problem. The model portrays the mind as containing three types of memory stores sensory memory, short-term (or working) memory, and long-term memory conceived of metaphorically as places where information is held and operated on. There are a set of control processes such as: attention, rehearsal, encoding, and retrieval, these dictate the process of the information and how this information moves within.
