Document Summary
Transfer failure(cid:224) returned to short term memory interfered with or decayed away: interference: processing current data uses up available space, decay: input code disintegrates before transfer can be accomplished, retrieval failure: item is in ltm but cannot be located and returned to stm on demand. We remember things of primacy and recency: workspace: capacity of stm is 5 9 meaningful chunks of information, duration is 20 30 seconds, though items may be refreshed by rehearsal, structure and coding: in stm level two is easiest to manipulate, and, controlled overt behaviors: performed under awareness and planning of with practice capacity and duration can be improved individual stm. All level one codes are also stored: transfer: items are sent to ltm through rehearsal (cramming) or elaboration (creating level 3 codes) and both of these require active participation of stm, automated overt behavior: performed without awareness to individual by ltm triggers.
