Document Summary

Information processing: continuum including attention, sensation, perception, learning, memory, and cognition (e. g. , thinking, problem-solving, etc. ) Encoding: the transformation of information from one form to another. Evolution of memory allowed animals to use the from the past to respond quickly to immediate challenges. Memory reduces reaction time to previously encountered stimuli. Nearly all animals have capability of forming memories. Sensory memory t he first stage of the atkinson shiffrin model that holds large amounts of incoming data for a brief amount of time. Data is typically stored in sensory memory for a second or less. Short term memory the second stage of the atkinson-shiffrin model that holds a small amount of information for a limited time. Chunking: the process of grouping similar meaningful information together. Working memory: and extension of the concept of short-term memory that includes the active manipulation of multiple types of information. Episodic buffer: combining a long-term memory to all of these.
