memory models

Question 1

Multi‑Store Model

Answer 1

Overview

Memory consists of three distinct stores through which information passes in a linear sequence: Sensory Register → Short‑Term Memory → Long‑Term Memory.

Question 2

Sensory Register function

Answer 2

Function: Receives and briefly holds sensory input from the environment (sights, sounds, etc.).
mation is lost.

Question 3

Sensory Register
Capacity

Answer 3

Capacity: Very large (all sensory data).

Question 4

Sensory Register duration

Answer 4

very brief- miliseconds

Question 5

sensory reg encoding

Answer 5

modaliy specific- iconic for visual, echoic, auditory

Question 6

how does info go to the control process for sensory register

Answer 6

if u pay attention it passes through STM
Unattended info is lost

Question 7

STM function

Answer 7

temporary store hold infomation cuently in concious awareness and does initial processing

Question 8

capacity of STM

Answer 8

7 +/- chunks of infomation

Question 9

duration of STM

Answer 9

brief 15-30 seconds without rehearsal

Question 10

How is STM primarily encoded

Answer 10

acoustic

Question 11

what is the control process of STM

Answer 11

maintenance rehearsal keeps it in stm
prolonged rehearsal transfers info to LTM

Question 12

Function of Long term memory

Answer 12

stores info indefinitely for future retrieval

Question 13

Capacity long term memory

Answer 13

potencially unlimited

Question 14

duration of long term memory

Answer 14

potencially forever

Question 15

Long term memory Encoding

Answer 15

Primarily semantic also visual and auditory
