Memory Processing and Sensory Perception

This tutorial explains the information processing theory, detailing how our brain processes stimuli through senses, transferring information from sensory to short-term memory, and eventually to long-term memory through encoding. It covers the limitations of short-term memory, the role of selective attention in managing sensory overload, and the concept of multitasking. The video also discusses how responses to stimuli are organized and the importance of feedback in storing effective responses in long-term memory.

What are the senses through which our brain receives information?

• Touch, balance, and hearing

• Smell, taste, and balance

• Taste, sight, and hearing

• Sight, sound, smell, and touch

What type of memory is responsible for picking up sounds?

• Iconic memory

• Echoic memory

• Long-term memory

• Sensory memory

What is the process called when information moves from short-term to long-term memory?

• Encoding

• Transferring

• Retrieval

• Decoding

Which type of memory has a limited storage capacity?

• Short-term memory

• Echoic memory

• Sensory memory

• Long-term memory

What is the term for filtering out unimportant messages to focus on important ones?

• Encoding

• Multitasking

• Selective attention

• Retrieval

Which of the following is an example of multitasking?

• Watching two TV shows at once

• Talking and walking at the same time

• Reading two books simultaneously

• Listening to two songs simultaneously

What happens when our senses receive a message?

• A search determines the response

• The message is stored immediately

• The message is forgotten

• The message is ignored

What is the purpose of feedback in the search and response process?

• To delete the response

• To check if the response was effective

• To ignore the response

• To store the response immediately

What happens to a response if it is viewed as effective?

• It is stored in short-term memory

• It is stored in long-term memory

• It is ignored

• It is discarded

What is the role of search and response in memory processing?

• To enhance sensory memory

• To store all messages

• To organize actions and determine responses

• To delete unnecessary information
