Multi memory store

• Sensory register stores sensory input from the environment for brief periods (0.25 seconds) until it's either processed or discarded.
• The multi-store model is an information processing theory that describes how we process, retain, and retrieve information.
• Short term memory has limited capacity (7+/- 2 items), duration (18 to 30 seconds), and can be rehearsed through maintenance rehearsal or elaborative rehearsal.
• Iconic Memory is visual information that lasts only about one-third of a second, allowing us to see an image but not remember it.
• Information enters our mind through the senses and goes into the sensory register where it can be stored briefly.
• Echoic Memory is auditory information that lasts up to four seconds, allowing us to hear something but not necessarily remember it.
• Long term memory has unlimited storage capacity but slow retrieval speed.
• If the information is deemed important enough to remember, it will move on to the short term memory store.
• Short Term Memory (STM) can hold around seven items at once, with rehearsal needed to maintain them over time.
• Episodic memory refers to memories about specific events or episodes in our lives.
• Semantic memory involves general knowledge and facts.
• Short term memory has limited capacity but unlimited duration as long as attention is focused on it.
• Long Term Memory is unlimited in terms of storage capacity, duration, and content.
• Working Memory is short-term storage with unlimited capacity, lasting as long as needed, and used for complex tasks like problem solving and reasoning.
• Explicit Memory involves conscious recall of facts and events, while Implicit Memory does not involve conscious awareness.
