Psychology Ch. 7 + Summary It talks about encoding, storage and retrieval. Under storage it talks about sensory, short term, and long term memory. Organization in the long term memory includes schemas, semantic and connectionist networks. This chapter also talks about forgeting. Another major point it physiology ?of memory and memory systems +

Chapter Seven Encoding: Getting Information into memory Next-in-line effect: Participants in a group take turns talking to the group and they tend to forget what was said right before their turn to speak. This happens because when participants are next in line to speak they are too preoccupied rehearsing what they are going to say. The Role of Attention: Attention ? involves focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Selective attention is important because without it the world would seem like utter chaos because you can?t block out all the other stimuli. Without this you wouldn?t be able to read a book, have a conversation with a friend or even have a coherent thought.

Process of memory begins with encoding. Attention is inherently selective and has been compared to a filter According to levels of processing theory, the kinds of memory codes people create depend on which aspects of a stimulus are emphasized deeper processing results in better recall of information. Structural, phonemic, and semantic encoding represent progressively deeper and more effective levels of processing Elaboration enriches encoding by linking stimulus to other info. Visual imagery may work in much the same way creating two memory codes rather than just one, encoding that emphasizes personal self-reference may be especially useful in facilitating retention

Human Memory

Chapter 7: Human Memory Definitions Amnesia Loss of memories for events that occur after a head injury. See Anterograde amnesia, Retrograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia Loss of memories for events that occur after a head injury. Attention Focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Chunk A group of familiar stimuli stored as a single unit. Connectionist models Models of memory that assume cognitive processes depend on patterns of activation in highly interconnected computational networks that resemble neural networks. Also called connectionist models.. See Parallel distributed processing (PDP) models. Consolidation A hypothetical process involving the gradual conversion of information into durable memory codes stored in long-term memory.
