PS102 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Flynn Effect, Ween, Motor System
Document Summary
The processes and types of memory: sensory memory, visual, acoustic, haptic, working memory, visuospatial sketchpad, phonological loop, episodic buffer, central executive, long term memory. Types and stages of memory: atkinson-shiffrin model (store model, sensory memory, hold large amounts of incoming information for a very short period of time. Iconic stores - visual info: lasts fraction of a second, echoic stores - auditory info, lasts about 2 seconds, short term, how is information represented, mental representations/memory codes, various forms. Long term memory: non declarative: reflected in skills and actions, some classical condition responses, procedural memory is the memory for how to carry out some skill. Serial position effect: u shaped pattern, two components, primacy effect. Information transferred to long term memory: recency effect. Information still in short term memory: effect diminished if time delay before recall. Encoding: encoding is meaningfully, deeper is better. General memory strategies: mnemonics, elaboration, link to other information, organze information, dual coding theory, image + words.
