how is sensory memory encoded?  
echoic and iconic
how is STM encoded?  
acoustic
how is LTM encoded?  
semantic
what is the duration for sensory memory?  
less than a second
what is the duration for STM?  
18-30 seconds
what is the duration for LTM?  
unlimited
what is the process in the MSM?  
paying attention. if not payed attention information will decay
maintenance rehearsal is repeating it over and over so it passes into LTM
elaborative rehearsal from STM to LTM when we give meaning to the info
retrieval is the process of getting the info back from LTM to STM
