Memory Notes

Memory is essential for learning and retention, encompassing three primary types: sensory register, short-term, and long-term memory. Sensory memory briefly holds information, allowing us to discern important details through selective attention. Processing levels impact memory storage; shallow processing involves simple repetition while deep processing entails forming associations to enhance retention. This framework helps explain how we process stimuli from our environment and decide what warrants further focus. Discover the intricacies of memory stages, the function of sensory registers, and techniques for improved retention.

  1. Memory Notes Part 1

  2. What are the three types of memory • 1. Sensory register • 2. Short term • 3. Long term

  3. Two levels of Processing • 1. Shallow • Simple repetition of information • 2. Deep Processing/elaborative rehearsal • Forming associations between new information and information that is already stored

  4. Memory Stages • A. Sensory register • 1. Information is held for a split second

  5. Function of Sensory Register A. Prevent the mind from being overwhelmed B. Provides stability, playback and recognition C. Give decision time Which allows you to decide if something is important

  6. How is information selected? • A. Selective attention • Concentrating on one sensation without completely blocking out other sensations

  7. Three points of interest basic need, novel something of interest

  8. Feature extraction • - focusing on the significant characteristics of information

  9. Type of sensory memory • a. Iconic - visual memory • information is held for a quarter second. • b. Echoic - auditory memory • information is held for 1-2 seconds
