Why/Why not? ◦What does work (that you've used before)? Sensory memory holds relatively unprocessed information for fractions of a second after the physical stimulus is no longer available. allows information from successive eye-fixations to last for a long enough time to be integrated and so to give continuity to our visual environment. Example: a lighted sparkler rapidly round in a sweeping arc, you will 'see' a circle of sparkling light. This is because the trace from the point of the sparkler is momentarily left behind. However, if you move the sparkler slowly, only a partial circle will be seen because the first part of the circumference will have laded by the time the sparkler gets back to its starting point. Short-term memory acts as a scratch-pad for temporary recall of the information under process. For instance, in order to understand this sentence you need to hold in your mind the beginning of the sentence you read the rest. decays rapidly (200 ms.) and also has a limited capacity. Can increase through chunking a hyphenated phone number is easier to remember than a single long number. Interference often causes disturbance in short-term memory retention. This accounts for the desire to complete the tasks held in short term memory as soon as possible. Long-term memory - storage of information over a long time. Information from the working memory is transferred to it after a few seconds. Unlike in working memory, there is little decay. Long-term memory structure Episodic memory represents our memory of events and experiences in a serial form. - reconstruct the actual events that took place at a given point in our lives. Semantic memory, on the other end, is a structured record of facts, concepts and skills that we have acquired. Long-term memory processes – main activities storage, deletion and retrieval. Stored from short-term memory by rehearsal. Deletion is mainly caused by decay and interference. recall and recognition
