memory

The idea that information needs to be converted into a form that is meaningful to the person learning it is referred to as

• Encoding

• Storage

• Recall

• Consolidation

STM has a capacity of

• infinite information

• 5- 9 items

• 30 seconds

• 3-4 seconds

The processing of information into the memory system.

• encoding
• storage
• retrieval
• automatic processing

The retention (saving) of encoded material over time.

• encoding
• storage
• retrieval
• rehearsal

The process of getting the information back out of memory storage.

• encoding
• storage
• retrieval
• Next-in-line-effect

The first stage of memory that involves information bombarding us every second.  

• sensory memory
• short-term memory
• automatic processing
• effortful processing

Information can be held in this storage bank for around 30 seconds with out rehearsal.

• short-term memory
• long-term memory
• sensory memory
• visual encoding

Organizing items into familiar, manageable units.

• chunking
• mnemonic
• relearning
• recall

Using the the acronym Roy G. Biv to studying the colors of the rainbow. This is a good example of 

• mnemonic
• spacing effect
• visual encoding
• acoustic encoding

The human capacity for storing long-term memories is

• roughly equal to seven units of information
• enhanced through hypnosis
• essentially unlimited
• typically much greater in young children than in adults
