PSYC 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Psych, Baddeley'S Model Of Working Memory, Temporal Lobe
Document Summary
Encoding storage retrieval: encoding: forming memories based on what you attend to, storage: maintaining the encoded memories over time, retrieval: Levels of processing: structural physical traits of info, phonemic what it sounds like (name or say the info, semantic meaning of info get to this level by elaborating on information. Important to make information relevant to you, the more processes of encoding you use the more likely you are to remember things. Enhancing encoding: elaboration personal relevance, dual-coding, distribute rehearsal when you try to understand it more deeply over multiple days over cramming for 8 hours, you will encode more (cid:2) (cid:2) (cid:2) Sensory memory: shortest, fraction of a millisecond, purpose is to encode a sensory stimuli, illusion of continuity . Short term memory: without any rehearsal you can hold info here for 20 seconds, magical number 7+/- 2 . chunking 4+/- 1 (phone number is two pieces of chunked information, working memory .
