Document Summary

Recall: is analogous to fill in the blanks, you retrieve information previously learned and unconsciously stored. Recognition: is a form of multiple choice, you identify which stimuli match your stored information. Relearning: is a measure of how much less work it takes you to learn information you had studied before, even if you don"t recall having seen the information before. Atkinson-shiffrin model (1968: stimuli are recorded by our senses and held briefly in sensory memory, some of this information is processed into short term memory and encoded through rehearsal. Information then moves into long term memory where it can be retrieved later. Procedural memory: such as knowing how to ride a bike, and well-practiced knowledge such as word meaning. Conditioned associations, such as a smell that triggers thoughts of a favourable place (information about space, time, frequency) Sensory memory: the immediate, very brief recording of sensory information before it is processed into short term or long term memory.
