On Being Sane in Insane Places - David Rosenhan's Hospital Experiment

The video tutorial explores the concept of memory, defined by the American Psychological Association, and its theoretical nature. It outlines the three processes of memory: registration, storage, and retrieval, focusing on the cognitive model known as the two process model by Atkinson and Shiffrin. This model describes how sensory memory filters information to short-term memory, which can hold 7±2 chunks of information for 15-30 seconds, and how rehearsal transfers information to long-term memory. The tutorial concludes by acknowledging the simplicity and testability of the model, while hinting at more complex aspects of memory suggested by later studies.
