Short-Term/ Working
Memory
Forms of storage- phonological loop
(information through repetition),
visuospatial sketchpad (manipulation
and retention of visual information),
episodic buffer (multiple modalities
can be integrated into an overall
understanding of a particular
situation)
Duration
Long-Term Memory
How things are or were- declarative
knowledge
How to do things- procedural
knowledge
Capacity- unlimited
Will it be harder to store additional
information if there are already a lot of
information that has already been
stored?
Long-Term Memory
Forms of Storage- based on
idiosyncratic interpretations
Explicit knowledge and implicit
knowledge
Interconnectedness
Is memory (in some instances) not
permanent?
Levels of Processing
How long and how well information is
remembered depends on how
thoroughly the central processor deals
with it
Processed superficially (appearance,
brightness) may last a few seconds
Deep processing interpreted,
understood, and related to previously
learned information
Activation Model
Working and long term memory are not
necessarily separate but reflect different
activation states of a single memory
Active state, incoming information and
information previously stored in the memory
Inactive, bulk of information
Activation almost invariably spreads from
one piece of information to associated
pieces
Priming
Activation Model
Memory is stored in the active and
inactive state
Differen stimuli different areas of
the brain
Priming (Ratcliff and McKoon, 1981)
Working Memory
Prior Knowledge
Prior Misconceptions
Expectations- halo effect/horns effect
Verbalization
Enactment
Repetition and Review
Retrieval
How well it was stored
Related pieces of information are stored
in close association with one another
Encoding specificity
Spreading activation
Retrieval cues- where to look in the long
term memory
- identity cues, associate
cues,
frame, contextual cues
Forgetting
Interference
A hippie is in the park
A hippie is in the church
A policeman is in the
park
A sailor is in the park

Learning curve
Forgetting curve
Spacing effect- finding that information,
which is presented over spaced intervals
is learned and retained more easily and
more effectively
Serial position effect: primacy and
recency effect
Savings effect
Overlearning effect

Implication To The
Psychologist/Educator
How can overt behaviors affect longterm storage?
How can the knowledge regarding
the memory process help you assist
your client (student)?
