What to Focus On

  • Memory stores learned information for later use.
  • Levin, Sternberg, and Matlin gave well-known definitions of memory.
  • Memory makes learning useful in daily life.

  • Sensory memory is the first stage of memory.
  • Iconic, echoic, and haptic memory are types of sensory memory.
  • Short-term memory has limited duration and capacity.

  • Encoding, storage, and retrieval are the three main stages of memory.
  • Encoding may be semantic, acoustic, or visual.
  • Chunking helps recode large information into smaller groups.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Memory is the same as storage only, so remembering means just keeping information in the mind.

Short-term memory and working memory are exactly the same in every sense.

The capacity and duration of short-term memory are fixed at one exact number.
