The Memory System Sensory Register Short Term (Working) Long Term ?

Information Processing: Sensory Register Perception Very Brief Large Capacity Remembering: Attention Forgetting: Decay Sperling Chart

Pause Here for Sensory Register Demonstration

Information Processing: Sensory Register Demonstration Review Large Capacity Very Brief Decays Quickly

Sensory Input Sensory Memory Attention Forgetting: Decay

Information Processing: Short-Term or Working Memory Smaller Capacity (5-9 Items) Contains What You Are Thinking Now Remembering: Rehearsal Forgetting: Displacement (Demonstrate) Remembering II: Making Better Use of Short-Term Memory

Pause Here for Short-Term Memory Demonstration

Information Processing: Short-Term or Working Memory Demonstration Review Capacity (5-9 Items) Information That Has Meaning is Easier to Remember Unfamiliar Information is Easily Displaced We Can Make Better Use of Short-Term Memory by Utilizing Pre-Existing Schemes

Forgetting: Displacement Rehearsal Short-Term Memory Sensory Input Sensory Memory Attention Forgetting: Decay Forgetting: Displacement

Information Processing: Long-Term Memory Capacity May Be Unlimited Remembering: Schemes (Connections) Forgetting: Retrieval Failure

What is Meaningful Learning? Rote Learning (Memorization of Facts) is Sometimes Necessary. However, Teachers and Students Can Work to Make Learning More Meaningful. 4x7=28 4x8=32 4x9=?
