Multi store model of memory

    Cards (27)

    • Sensory memory is the first stage of the multi-store model of memory, where information from the senses is briefly held for a very short period of time.
    • The capacity of STM is limited, with estimates ranging from 5 to 9 items.
    • Long term memory (LTM) is the third stage of the multi-store model of memory, where information that has been consolidated through repetition or meaningful encoding can be stored permanently.
    • Short term memory (STM) is the second stage of the multi-store model of memory, where information can be actively rehearsed or manipulated to maintain it over longer periods of time.
    • Short term memory (STM) - holds small amounts of information for brief periods, can be consciously accessed and manipulated
    • The long-term store has unlimited capacity and permanence. Information in long-term memory can last for a lifetime.
    • The short-term store is the working memory that holds information in an active, available state for processing. Information in the short-term store lasts up to 30 seconds.
    • Sensory register - temporary storage of sensory input from our environment
    • The sensory register encodes sensory information about the environment for a very brief period of time (less than 1 second).
    • The multi-store model is an information processing theory that describes the flow of information through different stages or stores.
    • Sensory register is the first stage of processing information, where sensations are received from our environment.
    • Long-term memory is the final stage of the multi-store model, where information is stored for long periods of time, potentially indefinitely.
    • STM has a duration of around 18 seconds but can be extended by rehearsal or chunking.
    • STM is also known as working memory because it allows us to hold onto information while we are actively processing it.
    • LTM is an unlimited storage system that holds memories over long periods of time.
    • Information enters sensory memory when we perceive something using one of our five senses.
    • Information enters LTM through consolidation, which involves strengthening connections between neurons and transferring information from STM to LTM.
    • Information enters sensory memory when our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin detect something new.
    • Working Memory - temporary storage system used during cognitive tasks such as reasoning, problem solving, and decision making
    • Sensory memory holds information for only a few seconds, allowing us to process and make sense of what we are experiencing.
    • Information enters the system via the senses and goes into the sensory register. This is a very brief period of time, lasting only a few milliseconds.
    • Episodic memory stores personal experiences and events.
    • Short term memory (STM) holds information for only a few seconds at most.
    • Information enters through the senses and goes into the sensory register.
    • Episodic Memory - memories of specific events or experiences
    • Information enters the system via the senses and passes through various stages until it reaches its final destination.
    • Information enters our mind via our senses and goes into the sensory register.
