Memory Process
4
Memory I. Information Processing A.There are 3 steps in information processing: 1.Input - information received from senses. 2.Central Processing – storing (in memory) and sorting (by thought) of this information in the brain. 3.Output – ideas and actions that result from processing. II. Taking in Information: Narrowing Input A.Selective Attention - focusing one’s attention on a limited amount of inputs.

B.Feature Extraction – locating and identifying characteristics which are deemed important. AKA: knowing what to look for

B.Short-Term Memory 1.Short-term memory is limited in capacity to about seven items and in duration by subject’s active rehearsal. 2.May last from a few seconds to a few minutes. 3.How do we keep from immediately forgetting information? a.Rehearsal - Repetition will help to remember. b.Chunking

(Storing information for future use)

Memory Why We Remember What We Remember A. Primacy effect - initial information is usually remembered more than later information. B.Recency effect - last bit of information is remembered better because little time has passed. C.Distinctiveness - information that is different stands out from mundane. D.Frequency Effect - info that is repeated is remembered better. E.Associations - info that is attached to other info is better remembered F.Reconstruction - filling in the blanks
