Sensory Memory1. The first stage of information
processing.a. Five senses are involvedb. Holds information in the
memory for a brief amount of time until information is processed.
Sensory Memory Selective Attention
✘ What the learner is able to select and process all while ignoring other information.
Automaticity:✘ Tasks are overlearned
or sources of information become habitual to the extent that the attention requirements are minimal
Pattern Recognition
✘ Refers to the process whereby environmental stimuli are recognized as exemplars of concepts and principles already in memory
Stroop Effect✘ When a person has
difficulty recalling information because of using conflicting skills
Working Memory
✘This is your short-term memory.✘Processing is carried out even
further to ready it for long term storage.
✘Holds information for a short amount of time.
✘Information is limited.
Strategies to Enhance Your Short Term Memory
Chunking: Creating larger bits of something in order to memorize it
Rehearsal: Repetition of something in order to memorize it.
Encoding: Relating something to something important or using mnemonics to help remember something.
Long Term Memory✘ Permanent home for information.✘ Long term information is transferred from short
term memory to long term memory.✘ Can retain unlimited information.
Semantic Memory:- General
information that can be recalled independently of how it was learned.
Episodic Memory:- Memory for
specific events
Retrieval: Once information is in the LTM, it can be retrieved for use, retained or forgotten.
Recall: Information is retrieved with no cues, or hints to help them remember.
Recognition: uses a set of pre generated stimuli.
Forgetting: Failure to encode, retrieve and interference.● Failure to Encode: Information given during retrieval was never learned.● Failure to Retrieve: inability to access previously learned information● Interference: other events or information got in the way of effective retrieval
