| Traditional Model of Memory |
|
Definition
(Atkinson, Shiffrin) 3 memory stores
sensory store
short-term store
long-term store
hypothetical constructs: they are not themselves directly measurable or observable but that serve as mental models for understanding how apsychological phenomenon works. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
first memory store, capable of storing relatively limited amounts of information for very brief periods of time.
This is where Iconic store is |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
discrete visual sensory register that holds information for very short periods of time.
Remembered in forms of icons. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
2nd memory store; capable of storing information for somewhat longer periods but also of relatively limited capacity
about 3-5 max 7 items at a time. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
3rd memory store; very large capacity, capable of storing information for very long periods, perhaps even indefinitely
don't know how full this store can get, because it has never happened before.
Permastore: very long term storage ex; foreign language and mathematics |

Term
| Levels-of-Processing Framework |
|
Definition
radical departure from three-stores model
suggests memory varies along a continuous dimension in terms of depth and encoding.
infinite number of levels of processing (LOP) at which items can be encoded. No distinct boundaries from one level and the next. |
|
|
Term
| Physical, Acoustic, and Semantic Processing |
|
Definition
different levels of processing
physical: visually apparent features of the letters
Acoustic: sound combinations associated with the ltters (ex; rhyming)
Semantic: meaning of the word |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
An Ingtegrative Model
Core of LOP framework
distinct feature to model is the working memory: holds only the most recently activated portion of long-term memory, and it moves these activated elements into and out of brief, temporary memory storage. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
one of four elements of working memory
briefly holds some visual images |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
one of four elements of working memory
briefly holds inner speech for verbal comprehension and for acousitc rehearsal.
Two components critical: phonological
storage (holds information in memory) and subvocal rehearsal (used to put the information into memory in the first place.
Without loop, decay takes only 2 secs. |

Term
|
Definition
both coordinates attentional activities and governs reponses
one of elements of working memory
critical to working memory (gates mechanism that decides what information to process further and how to process it.) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
one of the elements of working memory
integrates information from different parts of working memory so that they make sense to us.
limited-capacity system that is capable of binding information from the subsidiary systems and from long-term memory into the unitary episodic representation. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
someone who demonstrates extraordinarily keen memory ability
usually based on memory enhancing techniques |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| process of producing retrieval of memories that would have seem to have been forgotten |
