Multiple-Store Model of
Memory
Short-Term Memory
Long-Term Memory
Sensory memory happens in the
preattention stage where a stimulus is
briefly analyzed to determine if it will
receive additional processing.
Short-term memory is where information is
temporarily stored while people are actively
processing it. Is like RAM in a computer.
Long-term memory is connected to short-
term memory through encoding and
retrieval processes. Is like the disk drive in
a computer.
Memory works like parallel processors.
Encoding is the transfer of
information from short-term memory
to long-term memory for permanent
storage.
Retrieval is the process of accessing
information stored in long-term
memory so that it can be utilized in
short-term memory.
Retrieval is a constructive process.

firing of nerve
cells, short-term
in duration,
usually less than
a second.

Gestalt psychologists believe that biological
and psychological events do not influence
behavior
in isolation of each other.
People perceive the inputs from the
environment as part of the total context.
Focused on the active, creative nature of

Key idea: whole is greater than sum of parts.

Approaches to
Cognitive Knowledge
Serial learning concerns how people put into
memory and recall information that is received in
a sequential manner.
Serial-position effect occurs when the order of
presentation of information in a list influences
recall of the information in the list.
The S-P effect is the basis for the higher price
paid for book-end ads—I.e., ads at the beginning
and end of a commercial TV break.
