What is the Information Processing Approach to Memory?
Memory as a series of stages
Long-Term Memory has a relatively permanent storage of large amounts of information
Match the stage of memory with its role:
Sensory Memory ↔️ Initial, brief storage of sensory information
Short-Term Memory ↔️ Limited, temporary storage of information
Long-Term Memory ↔️ Relatively permanent storage of large amounts of information
What is another name for the Multi-Store Model?
Atkinson-Shiffrin Model
What type of rehearsal is used to store information in Long-Term Memory?
Elaborative
What is the duration of echoic memory?
2-4 seconds
Short-Term Memory has a limited capacity
The capacity of Short-Term Memory is unlimited.
False
Long-Term Memory has a limited capacity.
False
What are the three main processes involved in the Information Processing Approach to memory?
Encoding, storage, retrieval
What is the purpose of retrieval in the Information Processing Approach?
Access stored information
The Multi-Store Model proposes that memory consists of three distinct stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and Long-Term Memory.
True
What are the three main types of Sensory Memory?
Iconic, echoic, haptic
What is the duration of short-term memory without rehearsal?
18-30 seconds
Long-term memory stores vast amounts of information permanently, unlike short-term memory.
What are the two key storage processes in memory?
Rehearsal and consolidation
What is the effect of proactive interference on memory retrieval?
Old information interferes with new
Sensory memory has unlimited capacity.
False
Steps involved in information processing
1️⃣ Encoding
2️⃣ Storage
3️⃣ Retrieval
The Information Processing Approach involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information in three primary stages: Sensory Memory, Short-Term Memory, and Long-Term
Short-Term Memory can hold about 7 items for 18-30 seconds unless extended by rehearsal
Sensory memory has three main types: iconic, echoic, and haptic
Match the stage of memory with its duration:
Sensory Memory ↔️ Seconds
Short-Term Memory ↔️ 18-30 seconds
Long-Term Memory ↔️ Years
Short-Term Memory is the second stage in the Information Processing Approach
Rehearsal is essential for transferring information from STM to LTM
Elaborative rehearsal and organization strategies enhance Long-Term Memory storage and recall
Storage involves maintaining information over time, often through rehearsal.
True
The Information Processing Approach views memory as an active process of encoding, storing, and retrieving
Elaborative rehearsal is essential for transferring information to Long-Term Memory
The capacity of short-term memory is limited to around 7 items.
Match the category of long-term memory with its description:
Explicit ↔️ General knowledge and personal experiences
Implicit ↔️ Skills, habits, and conditioning
What is the role of encoding in memory?
Transforming information
Elaborative encoding enhances recall by creating associations with existing knowledge.
True
Recall is a retrieval process that requires explicit cues and high accuracy.
False
The Information Processing Approach views memory as a passive process.
False
Sensory memory has a duration of 18-30 seconds.
False
Stages of memory in the Multi-Store Model
1️⃣ Sensory Memory
2️⃣ Short-Term Memory
3️⃣ Long-Term Memory
Information flows sequentially through the three stages of the Multi-Store Model.
True
What role does sensory memory play in the Information Processing Approach?
Buffer for information
What happens to information in Short-Term Memory without rehearsal?
