Memory 1

A computer like model used to describe the way humans encode, store, and retrieve information

• information processing model

• memory map model

• information retrieval model

• misinformation model

When memory retrieval does not go well...the information is right on the ___-___-___-______.

Retrieving information that is not currently in our conscious awareness but was learned at an earlier time...involves a two-step process: generation of possible targets and identification of genuine ones

Identifying items previously learned...the first step is already complete, and one only has to decide if the information is correct

Learning something more quickly when you learn it a second time, or later time

the information gets into our brains in a way that allows it to be stored

• encoding

• storage

• retrieval

• parallel processing

the information is held in a way that allows it to later be retrieved

• encoding

• storage

• retrieval

• parallel processing

reactivating and recalling the information, producing it in a form similar to what was encoded

• encoding

• storage

• retrieval

• parallel processing

our brain can process MANY things simultaneously (often unconsciously)...interconnected neural networking in our brain

• encoding

• storage

• retrieval

• parallel processing

In the memory model, what is the first step?

• Environmental Stimuli

• Sensory Memory

• Working Memory

• Long Term Memory
