Document Summary
It"s almost impossible to think of something we do that doesn"t involve memory. Atkinson and shiffrin"s modal model of memory: hypothetical structures hold memories for different lengths of time. Sensory memory: sensory memory: the briefest form of memory, memories of raw, unprocessed sensory information. Iconic memory: visual sensory memory: echoic memory: auditory sensory memory, memories last up to 4 seconds, tactile sensory memories last up to 5 seconds. : visual sensory memories in individuals with mild cognitive impairments decay faster than in healthy individuals: link between sensory memory and specific neural activity. Short-term memory (stm: short-term memory: an intermediate memory storage that begins processing of perceptual information transferred from sensory memory. Information that becomes the focus of attention moves from sensory memory to. Long-term memory (ltm: long-term memory: lifetime storage of memory after some elaborative processing has occurred, unlimited storage capacity and unlimited storage duration, retrieval of information from ltm at a given time is limited and depends on many.
