shortest of our memories

staying true to the name, it holds sights, sounds, smells, textures, & other sensory info for a few seconds/fraction of a second

sensory memory is constantly being used

long-term memory allows for humans to to store information based on the meaning & importance of the info

there are 2 types of long-term memory: explicit (conscious memories that includes our own personal experiences) & implicit (unconscious memories that we use without realizing we use them)

long-term memory is also the reason for 3 different operations: encoding, storage, & retrieval

you can hold about seven items in short term memory for 20-30 seconds

this capacity can be widened by separating information into "chunks" (ex. your phone number)

there are 3 types of short term memory: limited capacity (7 items stored at a time) limited duration (storage is fragile, so info can be lost if distracted) & encoding (acoustic memory)

two different types of sources catch our attention: bottom-up sources (processing info as it's coming into our brains) and top-down sources (how we make use of that info)

multi-tasking is dividing your attention

very abrupt changes can change the direction of our attention

there are 3 types of encoding

visual code : mental representation of information as a picture

acoustic code : mental representation of information as a sequence of sounds

semantic code : mental representation of information according to its specific meaning

retrieval is the last step in the learning process. the first two are encoding and then storage

there are 3 types of retrieval

recall : accessing information without cues (hints)

recognition : identifying information you learned after seeing it again

relearning : learning information you've already learned
