Document Summary

Encoding - sense sensory input, short-term memory, long-term. Forming a memory code from some stimulus. Shallow process that emphasizes physical structure of word. : memory is enhanced by semantic and/or visual. Self-referent - find way to link academics/learning/knowledge to you. Sensory input attention rehearsal storage unlimited capacity store elaborative reh. Most info in sensory memory rapidly fades unless unattended. Once in short-term, still attended in some way, facilitate further. Rehearsal - rehearse information further encoding. Primacy - better recall from beginning (of the list) Recency - better recall from last / most recent (of list) Prepares short-term memory information for long-term memory. 1) begins with n 2) ends in -ism 3) first syllables rhymes with pep. : vivid detailed recollection of some significant event. Proactive interference: passed material interferes with recall of new material. Retroactive interference: new info interferes with ability to recall old info. 2 years later, old number is forgotten and then new" number is remembered.
