Document Summary

Forgetting: information processing perspective, sensory register, working memory (wm, long term memory (ltm) Forgetting a. concepts & categories: theories of forgetting, false memories vs. 3-stages of memory: atkinson-shiffrin stage model proposes three separate memory storage areas, information moves between them, within short- term memory, and out of long term memory. Overview of memory: to use knowledge later, all categories of memory (sensory, short-term, & long-term memory) require operation of 3 process: Encoding: initial processing of information leading to a representation in memory. Storage: retention of encoded material over time. Retrieval: recovery of stored material at some later time: sensory memory (aka sensory registers, iconic memory (visual) Lots of visual info can be stored for brief period (up to ~1sec) as demonstrated by partial report method described on next slide. Only physical attributes (location, brightness, color), but not categorical info (letters vs. numbers: echoic memory (auditory) what you remember when you hear something.
