Document Summary
-- how it looks, how it sounds, what it means a code for a word , etc. Storage: involves maintaining encoded information in memory over time (in memory stores) -- need to be able to get the information out of storage. -- how people search for their memories and which strategies are the most effective. Next-in-line effect: if participants in a small group take turns talking, subsequent memory tests reveal that the subjects tend to not recall much of what was said before they took their turn. -- preoccupied rehersing than paying attention to what others are saying. Attention: involves focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. A filter people tend to filter out information that is not relevant to what they are doing. If this could not be done, we would react to every stimuli around us and not be able to focus on one task. We select which stimuli can pass through our attention filter.
