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.
