Memory
The Three Memory Systems Sensory Memory: An impression formed from input from any of the senses Working Memory (Short-term memory): The processes involved in preserving recently perceived events or experiences Long-term Memory: Preserves information for use at a later date
How Memory Works (Working Memory) Encoding: Translations of incoming stimuli into a readable neural code Storage: Retention over time of the encoded material Retrieval: Recovery at a later date of stored material
Long-term Memory Procedural: Stores memory for how tings are done Declarative: Stores explicit information or facts –Episodic: autobiographical information –Semantic: basic meaning of words and concepts Explicit: learned through deliberate effort Implicit: learned incidentally without your awareness
Retrieval Recall: reproduction of stored material –Essay type questions Recognition: identification of material as that which you have stored –Multiple-choice type questions
