Document Summary

What already in our memory causes us to make decisions. Stress is the s-r relationship + argues that these relationships are stamped in. Insight: represents a change in the organization of a problem. Information processing model : how the memory system is actually set up. Or 1/5 of a sec but they vary. If there is no attention iconic and echoic will decay. Preserves information in its original form for a short time. The sensation of the stimulus lingers briefly after the stimulus has ended. Ex: stares at a light bulb and when we close out eyes we can still see the bulb. Can hold information for about 15 to 20 seconds. Has a limited capacity: it can only so much information at once unlike sensory that can hold vast of information. Works on a buffer system : displacement occurs which means the memory"s gets kicks out in order to encode new memory.
