PSYA01H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7.1: Sketchpad
Document Summary
Includes 3 memory stores (sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory) Stores retain information in memory without using it for any specific purpose. Control processes shift information from one memory to another: ex. Transduction from physical energy (sensation) into neural impulses (perception) Attention helps select a portion of the sensory memory for future processing. The working memory model: an active stm system. Long-term memory (ltm) encoded into long- term memory. Rehearsal is repeating information until you do not need to remember it anymore. Working memory is a model of short-term remembering that includes a combination of accessible. Forgetting memory components that can temporarily store small amount of information for short period of times. Phonological loop is a storage component of working memory that relies on rehearsal and stores information as sounds, or an auditory code. Visuospatial sketchpad is a storage component of working memory that maintains visual images and spatial layouts in a visuospatial code.
