What to Focus On

  • Memory stores the results of learning.
  • Retention is the process of storing information.
  • Memory is studied indirectly by measuring retention.

  • The three major memory systems are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.
  • Sensory memory lasts for a very short time.
  • Iconic memory lasts about half a second.

  • Semantic memory stores knowledge and meanings.
  • Episodic memory stores personal experiences.
  • Procedural memory stores skills and actions.
