Understanding Memory: Basics, Information Processing, and Sensory Registers in Psychology

DESCRIPTION

This resource explores the fundamentals of memory, defining key concepts such as the information processing model, sensory registers, and attention. Memory is described as the ability to recall experiences, thoughts, and learned information. The information processing model likens human memory to computer systems, while sensory registers serve as the initial entry point for raw sensory information, primarily visual and auditory. Attention is crucial for selecting information to be processed further. Engage with these concepts to deepen your understanding of psychology.

  1. Memory Memory Basics and Sensory Registers Psychology, Unit 5

  2. Objectives • Define and apply memory, information processing model, sensory registers, and attention • Diagram the sequence of information processing

  3. Basics • Memory: The ability to remember the things that we have experienced, imagined, and learned. • Information processing model: compares human memory to computer-like processes

  4. Sensory Registers • Data entry points for raw info from the senses • We primarily rely on visual and auditory senses, esp in regards to our memory.

  5. Attention • SELECTION of information to be further processed
