1.1.2 Structures of Memory

Cards (53)

  • Arrange the memory stores in the order proposed by the Multi-Store Model of Memory.
    1️⃣ Sensory Memory
    2️⃣ Short-Term Memory
    3️⃣ Long-Term Memory
  • Long-term memory stores information for extended periods, potentially a lifetime
  • Match each memory store with its correct capacity and duration.
    Sensory Memory ↔️ Large capacity, less than 1 second duration
    Short-Term Memory ↔️ Limited capacity, 15-30 seconds duration
    Long-Term Memory ↔️ Vast capacity, potentially lifetime duration
  • What is the process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information called?
    Memory
  • Short-term memory can hold information indefinitely without rehearsal.
    False
  • What is the duration of short-term memory without rehearsal?
    15-30 seconds
  • Procedural memories are more vulnerable to forgetting than declarative memories.
    False
  • In Sensory Memory, encoding involves the initial registration and brief holding of sensory information from the environment
  • Elaboration in Long-Term Memory involves connecting new information to existing knowledge
  • Match the memory processes with their descriptions:
    Encoding ↔️ Converting information into a format that can be stored.
    Storage ↔️ Maintaining information in the brain for later use.
    Retrieval ↔️ Accessing stored information when needed.
  • Short-Term Memory has a limited capacity of around 7 plus or minus 2 items
  • Long-Term Memory can be divided into two main types: declarative and nondeclarative
  • Match the memory store with its duration:
    Sensory Memory ↔️ Less than 1 second
    Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ 15-30 seconds
    Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Potentially lifetime
  • Encoding is the process of converting information into a format that can be stored in the brain
  • What is the approximate duration of information in short-term memory?
    15-30 seconds
  • What is the process of encoding, storing, and retrieving information called?
    Memory
  • Sensory memory briefly holds information from the senses for less than a second.

    True
  • Retrieval is the process of accessing stored information when needed.

    True
  • Transferring information from STM to LTM requires the process of encoding
  • What is the purpose of retrieval in the memory process?
    Access stored information
  • What process transfers information from STM to LTM in the Multi-Store Model?
    Encoding
  • Match the memory store with its capacity and duration:
    Sensory Memory ↔️ Large capacity, less than 1 second
    Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ Limited capacity, 15-30 seconds
    Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Vast capacity, potentially lifetime
  • What encoding process is used in STM to maintain information?
    Rehearsal
  • In Short-Term Memory, encoding involves actively rehearsing or repeating the information
  • Retrieving information from Long-Term Memory can be more effortful
  • Long-Term Memory stores information for extended periods, potentially a lifetime.

    True
  • Sensory Memory has a large capacity but a brief duration.

    True
  • What is the typical duration of Short-Term Memory (STM)?
    15-30 seconds
  • What are the two main types of Long-Term Memory (LTM)?
    Declarative and procedural
  • Order the stages of encoding in the Multi-Store Model of Memory:
    1️⃣ Initial registration of sensory information in Sensory Memory
    2️⃣ Rehearsal to maintain information in Short-Term Memory (STM)
    3️⃣ Elaboration or organization to transfer to Long-Term Memory (LTM)
  • Match the memory store with its retrieval process:
    Sensory Memory ↔️ Automatic retrieval without conscious effort
    Short-Term Memory (STM) ↔️ Retrieval requires conscious effort
    Long-Term Memory (LTM) ↔️ Retrieval involves searching stored knowledge
  • Working Memory involves actively manipulating information, while Short-Term Memory (STM) only stores it temporarily.
    True
  • Transferring information from Short-Term Memory (STM) to Long-Term Memory (LTM) requires a process called encoding.
  • Declarative memories are more durable than procedural memories.
    False
  • Elaboration in encoding involves connecting new information to existing knowledge in Long-Term Memory (LTM).
  • Working Memory is built upon the foundation of Short-Term Memory.
  • Working Memory is crucial for tasks such as solving math problems or following complex instructions.
  • What is the primary role of sensory memory in the Multi-Store Model?
    Acts as an initial buffer
  • Memory is a process that allows us to retain experiences and knowledge over time.
    True
  • What is the duration of sensory memory?
    Less than 1 second
