activated memory that holds a few items briefly ; limited capacity and duration and will be forgotten/ lost if not rehearsed

Implicit memory ( procedural)

form of long term memory , doesn't require conscious retrieval / things we remember unconsciously retention of learned skills or classically conditioned associations independent of conscious recollection.

the relatively persistent and limitless storehouse of the memory system , includes knowledge, skills, and experiences

Sensory memory - echoic

registers specific auditory information and temporarily holds it until it is processed and comprehended

Sensory memory - iconic

stores images; holds brief visual images of a scene that has just been perceived

remembering to perform a planned action or recall a planed intention at some future point

Explicit memory - episodic

specific personal experience ; a type of long-term memory that involves conscious recollection of previous experiences together with their context in terms of time, place, associated emotions,

the processing of information into the memory system

the retention of encoded information over time ; memories available for future use

the process of getting information out of the memory storage

information is in long term memory but can not be accessed ; Inability to recall knowledge /memory which is acknowledged to be present within the memory;

Proactive interference

occurs when you cannot learn a new task because of an old task that has been learned ; old information interferes with new information

Retroactive interference

new information interferes with previously learned (old) information

Misinformation effect

creation of fictitious / fake memories by providing misleading information about an event after it takes place

forgetting curve and spacing effect

information processing model and magic number

how learned information slips out of our memories if not rehearsed / recalled

observation that repetitions spaced in time tend to produce stronger memories than repetitions massed closer together

human short term memory is generally limited to holding 7 pieces of information + or - 2
