• Short-term memory lasts for about 18 seconds.
• Maintenance rehearsal involves repeating information to keep it in memory.
• What is elaborative rehearsal?

  Giving meaning to information
• What is episodic memory associated with?

  Personal experiences
• What does procedural memory involve?

  Skills and how to perform tasks
• Tulving's study supported the distinction between episodic and semantic memory by showing different brain regions activated for each.
• What happened to HM after his hippocampus was removed?

  He lost the ability to form new episodic and semantic memories
• What did Tulving's research reveal about memory processes?

  Different brain regions are activated
• The multi-store model describes how information is processed in the mind.
• What are the three memory stores identified in the multi-store model?

  Sensory, short-term, and long-term memory
• Most sensory information is lost if not attended to.
