Document Summary

Stage model: encoding and storage: sensory memory (register, short-term memory (stm, ionic and echoic memory, transfer to stm, internal and external triggers, working memory, 7 +/- 2, evaluation of information, permanence, capacity, long-term memory (ltm) Memory is essentially a way of storing our sensations and perceptions. This allows us to encounter our world, but not re-experiencing everything every time: stages, initial encounter, filtering process, storage process, retrieval process. The first stage is referred to as sensory memory. Manipulation/filtration of memory is known as the short term memory. Long term memory refers to our storage and retrieval process. **final exam information: 72*: the sensory register has a time limit, and if we don"t process the information quick enough, we will forget it, iconic (visual) memory, echoic (sound) memory. Sensory memory is only truly effective if you use either the internal or external triggers.
