| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Learning that has been persisted over time, stored, and can be retrieved later | Memory |
| Focuses on conscious, active processing lasting 20-30 seconds max with a 7 +/- 2 capacity | Working/Short Term Memory |
| Giving information meaning and moving it into the brain | Encoding |
| Doing multiple activities at once | Parallel processing |
| Memory for auditory stimuli | Echoic Memory |
| Memory for photographs / visual stimuli | Iconic Memory |
| Immediate, very brief recording of sensory information into the memory process | Sensory Memory |
| Capacity and duration of sensory memory | Unlimited / 3 seconds maximum |
| Process of bringing back info out of memory stages | Retrieval |
| Retaining information | Storage |

| Developed theory for how we memorize and the Stage Model of Memory | R. Atkinson and R. Shiffrin |
| What are the stages of the information processing system | Encoding, storage, and retrieval |
| Focuses on the amount of times something has happened (Type of automatic processing) | Frequency |
| Focuses on location (Type of automatic processing) | Space |
| Processing knowledge (Type of automatic processing) | Well Learned Info |
| Focuses on the sequence of events (Type of automatic processing) | Time |

| Did study in Aplysia to study synaptic changes | Eric Kandel |
| An increase in synapses firing potential after stimulation. Nueral basis for learning and memory. | Long Term Potentiation |
| An unconscious association of things which predisposes a persons perception, memory, or response. (Cow. Milk) | Priming |
| Developed priming | William James |
