PSYA01H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 6.1: Echoic Memory, Sensory Memory, Iconic Memory
Document Summary
Memory the ability to store and retrieve information over time. 3 key functions of memory encoding, storage, retrieval. Semantic judgment meaning of the word (deeper processing than other two), rhyme judgment sound of the word, visual judgment the appearance of the words. Elaborate encoding the process of actively relating new information to knowledge that is already in memory. Elaborate encoding takes place in the lower left part of the frontal lobe and the inner part of the temporal lobe. Memories are a combination of old and new information, so. Visual imagery encoding does some of the same things elaborative encoding foes: when you create a visual image, you relate incoming information to knowledge already in the memory. Organizing words into conceptual groups and relating them to one another makes it easier to reconstruct the items from memory later: organizational encoding gives you more ways to remember them than just a verbal placeholder. Visual imagery encoding among a series of items.
