Chapter 5: sts: review multi-store model of memory. 3 memory (information processing) structures: sensory memory (registers, short-term store, long-term store. Anterograde amnesia: cannot recall events which occurred prior to pathology, cannot recall events which occurred after the pathology. Selective attention: select information from sensory memory. Retrieve from long term store: this is what allows us to speak. Present 1 ccc delay (0-15 seconds) recall. People rehearse the ccc in their heads: phase 2. Delay (0-15 seconds) with intervening task (count backwards at rate of twice per second) Decay over time if prevent rehearsal: sts code. Sensory memory: basic features, not semantic, not linguistic. Long term store (lts: list of words, recall hours/days later. Intrusion errors usually semantic (when you push people to remember, they remember semantics similar to the items) D for t (sound like the letter) May say goat instead of boat : conrad (1964) Atkinson and shiffrin: acoustic verbal linguistic code (avl)
