A
  • auditory info (sound)

  • limited capacity
18
Q

Episodic buffer

A
  • combines both visual and acoustic info
  • records events that are happening
  • creates episodes
  • sends info to long term memory
19
Q

Three types of long term memory

A
  • episodic
  • semantic
  • procedural
20
Q

Episodic long term memory

A
  • explicit (knowing that)
  • personal
  • include contextual and emotional details
21
Q

Semantic long term memory

A
  • explicit (knowing that)
  • universal facts and knowledge (maths, languages, capital city)
22
Q

Procedural long term memory

A
  • implicit (knowing how)
  • automatic due to repetition
  • hard to explain/teach but easy to do (write, drive)
23
Q

A
  • interference
  • retrieval failure
24
