Document Summary
1. review the three memory processes (encoding, storage and retrieval: review the three memory systems (sensory, short-term and long term, review long-term memory systems (declarative and non-declarative) Storage maintaining encoded information in memory over time. Retrieval recovering information from memory stores. Forgetting is due to deficiencies in any of 3 processes in memory. Attention focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. You need to pay attention to information if you intend to remember it. Focusing your attention in 2 or more places at once causes large reduction in memory performance and motor performance. Structural encoding = shallow processing emphasizes the physical structure of the stimulus. Phonemic encoding = intermediate processing - emphasizes what a word sounds like. Semantic encoding = deep processing emphasizes the meaning of verbal input. Levels-of-processing theory proposes that deeper levels of processing result in longer-lasting memory codes. Elaboration linking a stimulus to other information at the time of encoding.
