Multistore Model of Memory information moves through multiple stores
Information Processing Model of Memory (Atkinson-Shiffrin came up with model) there are 3 memory systems: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
Sensory Memory memory system that holds external events from the senses for up to a few seconds, includes iconic or echoic memory
Iconic Memory a momentary sensory memory of visual stimuli
Echoic Memory a momentary sensory memory of auditory stimuli
Short-Term Memory (STM) Working memory, 20 seconds before forgotten; capacity of seven plus or minus two items of information. Place where we keep memories that we are actively working with or small amounts of information, stems from selective attention and maintenence rehearsal
Selective Attention the focusing of awareness on stimuli in sensory memory that facilitates its encoding into STM
Rehearsal conscious repetition of information to either maintain information in STM or to encode it for storage
Maintenance Rehearsal repetition that keeps information in STM about 20 seconds.
Elaborative Rehearsal repetition that creates associations between the new memory and existing memories stored in LTM
Long-term memory (LTM) relatively permanent storage with unlimited capacity, LTM is subdivided into explicit (declarative) memory and implicit memory. Can result from elaborative rehearsal
Explicit Memory (Declarative) memory of facts and experiences that one consciously knows and can verbalize
semantic memory memory of general knowledge or objective facts
