• 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

Organizing items into familiar, manageable units.

• recall

What type of sensory info is gathered from sounds and needs attention to transfer the info?

• Sensory

• Echoic

• Iconic

• Empathetic

Visual sensory memory is referred to as

• iconic memory

• echoic memory

• photomemory

• semantic memory

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

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

Repeating someone's name several times shortly after being introduced to that person is an effective strategy for

• chunking
• priming

• rehearsal
