PSYC 230 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Frontal Lobe, Baddeley'S Model Of Working Memory, Visual Cortex
Document Summary
The processes involved in retaining, retrieving, and using information about stimuli, images, events, ideas, and skills after the original information is no longer present. I use memory for : remembering people, places, memories, writing, conversation. Has no long-term memory, remembers no more than 30 seconds, his wife is the only person he remembers, when he sees her its like the first time every time, never had a thought (self-report) Computer as a model for human cognition. Memory is an integrated system that processes information: acquire, store, and retrieve information, components of memory do not act in isolation. Memory has a limited capacity: limited space, limited resources, limited time. We do not think there is a storage limit on long-term memory. Lasts on the order of milliseconds to a few seconds. Very high fidelity: essentially an exact raw copy of what you take in.
