3 Systems of Memory
- Sensory Memory
-
Long-term Memory (LTM)
- Primarily encoded semantically
- Indefinite duration of storage
- Unlimited storage
- Immense Storage Capacity
-
Short-term Memory (STM)
- Primarily encoded acoustically
- Last 15 ~ 30 seconds
- Additionally store between 5 and 9 items
- Kept by constant repetition
- Time and Inattention
-
Retrieval
- Determine the Performance
- Access stored information
-
2 Ways to Access Memory
-
Recognition
- Recognize sth. that is experienced in the past
-
Recall
- Able to remember sth. that is physically absent at any time
-
Store in STM & LTM
-
STM
- Retrieved in the order
e.g. a sequential list of numbers
-
LTM
- Retrieved through association
