(encoding) 1) If information is… , … 14
is encoded while in the STM, it’s transferred to the LTM for storage
(encoding) 2) All information entering… 12 Information is then… 10
the brain passes through sensory memory and enters STM
either transferred to LTM or is discarded
(encoding) 3) Sensory memory retains… 13 Only… 9
all visual and auditory input received for a few seconds
selected images and sounds are encoded into STM
(encoding) 4) Successful transfer… provided… , and… 20
of information from STM to LTM is promoted by encoding provided by rehearsal, organisation and elaboration of meaning
(encoding) 5) Rehearsal is… 13 It is considered.. 8
the repetition of information over and over to help you memorise
a shallow method of encoding
(encoding) 6) Elaboration involves… 15 Allows for… 8 Considered… 9
analysing the meaning of the item and taming note of properties and features
easier transfer from STM to LTM
a deeper form of encoding
(encoding) 7) Organisatiom involves.. 11
information put into logical categories which improves information retention
(storage) a) STM has… 12 On average… 9
a limited capacity and holds information for a short time
7 +/- 2 items for 30 seconds
(storage) b)The capacity of STM… —> … 15
can be improved by chunking —> creating one meaningful unit from several units
(storage) c) Rehearsal keeps… 10
a piece of information in the STM longer
(storage) d) Information can… : …- 12 …-…5
can be lost by:
Decay- old information pushed out by new
Decay- disappears if not accessed
(storage) e) LTM has… 9
unlimited capacity and holds information for longer
(retrieval) i) Retrieval is aided… 9
by the use of contextual cues
(retrieval) ii) Contextual cues relate… 16
to the time and place the information was initially encoded into the LTM
