Document Summary
Memory system or process by which the products or results of learning are stored for future use. Encoding put into a form to get into the system. Say out loud, picture, meaning: storage so it can be retained over time. There is no specific spot in the brain for memory: retrieval located and retrieved. Model suggests that incoming information must be processed, but it must also be registered (figuring out it is actually there) Spurling wanted to know if we all have an eidetic memory. He flashed 12 letters for 1/20 second. Most could remember 4 or 5 of 12 (whole report) Show the 2 halves that mean nothing by themselves and someone with eidetic memory can layer them and see the picture. Acoustic encoding remember how it sounds to say it. Unconsciously keeping track of the number of times you"ve run into someone today. Overlearning repeat the information after we have been able to remember it.
