What to Focus On

  • Memory is a process, not just a storehouse.
  • The three stages are encoding, storage, and retrieval.
  • Failure in memory can occur at any stage.

  • Stage Model was proposed by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968.
  • Sensory memory has large capacity but very short duration.
  • Short-term memory lasts usually 30 seconds or less.

  • Selective attention filters information into short-term memory.
  • Maintenance rehearsal uses repetition.
  • Chunking expands short-term memory capacity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Short-term memory and long-term memory are the same store, just with different names.

Short-term memory can hold a large amount of information for a long time if the information is important.

Information in short-term memory is mainly encoded semantically.
