Memory involves three main processes: encoding, storing, and retrieving information. There are three main types of memory: sensory memory, short-term or working memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory briefly stores perceptual information, like sights and sounds. Short-term or working memory can actively hold and manipulate a limited amount of information for a brief period of time, around 7 items on average. Long-term memory stores much larger amounts of information for the long-term.
This document provides information on memory, study skills, and test taking strategies for college students. It discusses key concepts like semester hours, how much time should be spent studying, effective study habits like staying organized with a schedule and taking breaks, and test taking tips. The goal is to help students maximize their learning and performance in college courses to work toward graduating with a degree.
1. Memory works through encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Encoding gets information into the brain, storage holds it, and retrieval recalls it.
2. The Atkinson-Shiffrin model describes memory formation moving from sensory memory to short-term memory to long-term memory. Working memory processes information in short-term memory.
3. Memories are formed through either effortful processing requiring rehearsal and encoding or automatic processing without awareness into implicit memory.
Memory encodes, stores, and retrieves information through three main processes. It has three main components - sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory briefly stores sensory information, short-term memory actively stores information for around 20-30 seconds, and long-term memory stores information over a long period through recall and recognition. The brain stores different types of long-term memory in different areas like the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and cerebellum. Factors like forgetting, selective memory, interference and memory loss can impact how well information is stored and retrieved from memory. Exercising the brain through activities, sleep, and limiting substances like smoking and drinking can help improve memory functions.
The document discusses models of memory and how it works. It describes:
1) The Atkinson-Shiffrin model which proposes that stimuli are encoded into sensory memory briefly before being rehearsed in working memory and stored in long-term memory.
2) Dual-track processing with both explicit memories formed through effortful encoding and implicit memories formed automatically without awareness.
3) Encoding involves attention, rehearsal in working memory which can hold around 7 items briefly before decay, and effortful strategies like chunking, mnemonics and distributed practice to facilitate long-term storage.
This document provides an overview of human memory. It defines memory as the mental capacity to store, recall, or recognize past experiences. It describes the main components of memory according to cognitive psychologists as the mental system that receives, encodes, stores, modifies, or retrieves information. It also outlines the main types of human memory, including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Finally, it compares human memory to computer memory and describes the different types of computer memory, such as RAM and ROM.
The study of human memory has been a subject of science and philosophy for thousands of years and has become one of the major topics of interest within cognitive psychology.
But what exactly is memory? How are memories formed? The following overview offers a brief look at what memory is, how it works and how it is organized.

The document discusses models of memory including the Atkinson-Shiffrin model which conceptualizes memory as consisting of sensory, short-term, and long-term stores. It also covers the levels-of-processing model which proposes that memory depends on the depth of encoding of information. Working memory is described as a limited capacity system that temporarily holds and manages the information necessary for complex cognitive tasks.
Memory works through encoding, storage, and retrieval according to an information processing model. The Atkinson-Shiffrin model proposes that information moves from sensory memory to short-term memory and then long-term memory, though more recent models recognize additional processing in working memory and some automatic processing into long-term memory. Memories can be formed through effortful, explicit processing or implicit, automatic processing. Encoding involves strategies like chunking, mnemonics, rehearsal, deep processing, and relating information to oneself.

This document outlines the key concepts covered in Chapter 6 on memory. It discusses the three processes of memory - encoding, storage and retrieval. It also summarizes several models of memory, including the information processing model and levels of processing model. Additionally, it defines and provides details about the different types of memory, including sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory, and different classifications within long-term memory like declarative and nondeclarative memory. Other topics covered include organization of memories, cues that help with retrieval, accuracy of recall vs recognition, formation and deterioration of memories over time.
The document discusses memory, forgetting, and ways to improve memory. It defines memory as the ability to encode, store, and recall past experiences. Memory involves sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information is transferred between these memory stores. Forgetting occurs when memory traces fade over time. The document outlines several techniques to improve memory, including focusing attention, repetition, organization, using mnemonic devices, and learning in a way that works for the individual.
Memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information over time. Encoding occurs through rehearsal, deep processing, elaboration, imagery, and organization. Memory is stored in sensory memory briefly, working memory for 30 seconds unless rehearsed, and long-term memory for lifetimes. Memory storage involves different types like declarative and non-declarative memory as well as contents like episodic and semantic memory. Retrieving memories can be difficult due to interference, decay, or lack of cues. Effective study strategies include taking good notes, using mnemonics, asking questions, spacing out learning, monitoring progress, and managing time well.
Memory is the ability to encode, store, and retrieve information and experiences. It involves three main types: sensory memory (less than 1 second), short-term memory (less than 1 minute), and long-term memory (lifetime). Long-term memory includes implicit memory (procedural skills) and explicit memory (facts and autobiographical events), which has episodic memory for personal experiences and semantic memory for general knowledge. Multiple areas of the brain work together to form and retrieve memories. Factors like age, intelligence, interest, sleep, and meaningfulness of information impact memory strength and retention.
The document summarizes key aspects of memory from a psychological perspective. It discusses how memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information over time. There are three main types of encoding - visual, acoustic, and semantic. Short term memory has limited capacity and duration, while long term memory has unlimited capacity and duration. A multi-store model of memory describes how information flows from sensory memory to short term memory to long term memory through encoding and rehearsal. More recent models like working memory divide short term memory into separate systems for visual-spatial and phonological information, controlled by a central executive.
The document discusses various aspects of memory and forgetting, including different types of memory like short-term and long-term memory, as well as different areas of the brain involved in memory. It also covers forms of amnesia, theories of forgetting like interference theory, and tips for improving memory like exercising, managing stress, and getting good sleep. Memory can decline with age due to changes in the brain and decreased brain function.
The document discusses various models of human memory, including sensory memory, short-term memory, long-term memory, implicit memory, explicit memory, and flashbulb memory. It describes the encoding, storage, and retrieval processes of memory. Several factors that can affect memory are also discussed, such as age, emotions, stress, and physical/mental health. Different methods for studying memory are outlined, including learning, relearning, reconstruction, recognition, recall, and paired association methods.
The document discusses different types of memory. It describes sensory memory as brief storage of sensory information for under a second. Short-term memory, also called working memory, temporarily stores information for 20-30 seconds. Long-term memory can endure for days, weeks, months, or decades by strengthening connections between neurons in the brain. The three main types of memory are sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory, with sensory being briefest and long-term potentially lasting a lifetime.
There are three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory stores brief sensory inputs and passes information to short-term memory through attention. Short-term memory acts as a scratchpad and decays rapidly, while long-term memory stores information over long periods through encoding, storage, and retrieval processes like rehearsal. Thinking involves reasoning through deductive, inductive, and abductive logic as well as problem-solving using approaches like Gestalt theory and problem space theory.
Short-term memory, also known as primary or active memory, temporarily stores approximately 4 chunks of information that a person is aware of or thinking about for 20-30 seconds unless rehearsed. It acts as a receptionist for the brain by determining if information will be dismissed or transferred to long-term memory. Short-term memory capacity is limited to 7 plus or minus 2 items that can be increased through chunking related information together.

Factors like encoding, storage, retrieval, rehearsal, and consolidation influence how and what we remember.
Memory involves the retention and recall of information and experiences. The hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebral cortex play key roles in memory processing and storage. There are different types of memory including short-term memory, long-term memory, sensory memory, declarative memory, and procedural memory. Methods for improving memory include recall, recognition, relearning, brain exercises, managing stress, good sleep, and not smoking. Aging can impact memory through changes in the hippocampus and loss of neurons and brain function over time. Forgetting and amnesia can result from brain damage or injury.
The document summarizes the Atkinson-Shiffrin model of memory. It proposes that human memory consists of three main stores: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Information enters through the senses and is held briefly in sensory memory. It then transfers to short-term memory if attention is paid. Information in short-term memory can be transferred to long-term memory through rehearsal. Long-term memory has a virtually unlimited capacity and duration. Strategies like organization and repetition can help with retaining information in memory according to this model.

What is the role of memory in learningsabirmengal1
Memory is essential for learning as it allows us to store and retrieve information. There are different types of memory like sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory that serve different functions and involve different parts of the brain. Memory is defined as the encoding, storing, and retrieving of information over time. Memories are formed through persistent changes in the strength of connections between neurons in the brain. The various types of memory are important for teachers to understand in order to help students effectively learn and retain lessons.
This document discusses memory and cognitive psychology. It defines memory as the persistence of learning over time through storing and retrieving information. It describes the three-stage model of memory - encoding, storing, and retrieving information. It discusses factors that influence memory like rehearsal and spacing effects. It also evaluates two models of memory - the multi-store model and levels of processing model, weighing their strengths and limitations. Finally, it discusses the evolution of cognitive psychology as a field emerging in the 1960s to study mental processes using a more scientific approach than previous introspection methods.
The document discusses different types of memory including sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. It describes the processes of encoding, storage, and retrieval of information in each type of memory. Sensory memory acts as a buffer and passes information to short-term memory via attention. Short-term memory decays rapidly and has limited capacity, acting as a scratchpad. Information is transferred from short-term to long-term memory through rehearsal. Long-term memory includes episodic and semantic memory and information is stored, deleted, and retrieved through various processes over long periods of time.
Memory involves three stages: encoding, storage, and retrieval. There are three main types of memory: sensory memory, which only lasts a second; short-term memory, which can hold 7 items for 20 seconds; and long-term memory, which stores information for longer periods. The information processing model proposes that information moves from sensory memory to short-term memory, and then to long-term memory through rehearsal. Long-term memory is divided into explicit and implicit types. Memory strategies can help with encoding, storage, and retrieval of information.
This document outlines the Nurses and Midwives Act of 2019 in Zambia. It continues the existence of the General Nursing Council and renames it the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Zambia. The Act regulates the education, training, registration, practice and professional conduct of nurses and midwives. It also provides for the licensing of nursing and midwifery facilities. Key aspects include continuing the Nursing Council, setting its functions, regulating nurse and midwife registration, education/training, scope of practice, disciplinary matters, and licensing facilities.
This document provides 20 examples of different defense mechanisms people may use to cope with anxiety or uncomfortable feelings, such as repression, rationalization, projection, and fantasy. Repression involves being unable to remember unpleasant events, while rationalization means providing logical excuses to justify irrational behavior. Projection refers to attributing one's own undesirable feelings or behaviors to others. Fantasy involves imagining scenarios that are not real to fulfill wishes or deal with problems.
This document discusses fluid therapy and fluid balance. It begins with definitions of key terms like electrolyte, osmolarity, and body fluid compartments. It then explains the regulation and assessment of fluid balance, types of intravenous fluids, and how to calculate infusion rates. Fluid balance charts are described as an essential tool to monitor intake, output, and a patient's hydration status. The document provides examples of completing a fluid balance chart and emphasizes the importance of careful recording and monitoring of fluid therapy.
This document discusses urinary and fecal elimination. It provides details on:
1) The normal urinary elimination process involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Urine is normally produced and stored in the bladder until voiding occurs.
2) Common alterations in urinary elimination including increased or decreased urine output, painful urination, incontinence, and retention.
3) Factors that can affect bowel elimination such as age, diet, fluid intake, medications, and physical or psychological conditions.
4) Common bowel problems include constipation, impaction, diarrhea, and incontinence. Nursing interventions are aimed at promoting normal elimination habits.
The document discusses the assessment and management of unconscious patients. It defines unconsciousness as a state of reduced awareness and responsiveness. Causes can include head injuries, tumors, overdoses, infections, and more. Levels of consciousness are assessed using scales like the Glasgow Coma Scale. Nursing priorities for unconscious patients include airway maintenance, skin care, range of motion exercises to prevent contractures, and careful monitoring for any changes in condition.
This document outlines the process and techniques for conducting a physical examination. It defines a physical exam as collecting observable data using inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. The key techniques are explained in detail, including inspection using the senses of vision, hearing and smell; palpation to feel for pulses, temperature, and consistency; percussion to elicit sounds that vary with tissue density; and auscultation using a stethoscope to listen to internal sounds. Proper equipment, patient positioning, and exam sequencing are also reviewed to thoroughly assess the skin, head, neck, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body systems.
The document discusses the importance of communication and interaction between nurses and patients. It states that the nurse is always interacting with patients and healthcare team members. Effective communication helps the nurse build relationships and collaborate to achieve health goals. The document outlines different types of communication including intrapersonal, interpersonal, small group, and public. It emphasizes that both verbal and nonverbal communication are important and discusses elements like appearance, eye contact, and body language. Throughout the nursing process, open communication between the nurse and patient allows ongoing identification of health problems.
This document discusses pain from a nursing perspective. It defines pain, explains the physiology of pain including pain receptors and signal transmission, and outlines the types of pain such as acute, chronic, idiopathic, and psychogenic pain. The document also discusses pain assessment and management in nursing, including using pain scales, relieving pain through measures like rest, relaxation, analgesia, and diversional therapy.
The document discusses vital signs, which are important measurements that reflect essential body processes for life. They include temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. Vital signs provide information about the body's response to stress and can reveal sudden or gradual changes in a patient's condition. They are routinely taken for baseline data and to monitor a patient before, during, and after procedures or changes in their condition. The four components of vital signs are described in detail, including how they are assessed, normal ranges, and factors that can influence them.
Vital signs, including temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure, reflect essential body processes and can indicate changes in a patient's condition. They are important baseline measurements that are taken routinely during assessments and when a patient's status may be affected. Temperature, pulse and respiration are regulated by the hypothalamus, heart and respiratory functions, respectively, and can be impacted by environmental and psychological stressors. Abnormal vital signs may reveal sudden or gradual deterioration and should be reported promptly.
The document discusses various ways of classifying families and groups. It describes how families can be classified based on marriage structure (monogamous, polygamous, etc.), residence (matrilocal, patrilocal), ancestry (matrilineal, patrilineal) and size (nuclear, extended). Groups are characterized by interaction, structure, size and cohesiveness. Groups typically progress through forming, storming, norming, performing and terminating stages. Ethnic groups are defined by shared language, culture, history and self-identity.
The document discusses vital signs, which are temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure. These reflect essential body processes and are important indicators of a patient's condition. Temperature, pulse, respiration are measured routinely for baseline data and to monitor for changes. Normal ranges are provided for each vital sign. Factors that influence the vital signs and techniques for accurately measuring them are described.
The document discusses the importance of communication and interaction between nurses and patients. It states that nurse-patient interaction is a professional relationship where meaningful exchange of ideas and problem-solving can occur. Through open communication, nurses can work with patients to continuously identify health problems and achieve health-related goals. The core elements of trust, respect, confidentiality, empathy and appropriate use of power are essential to ensuring a therapeutic relationship.
Fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balances must be maintained for health. Imbalances can occur from factors like dehydration or diarrhea. Fluids are distributed intracellularly and extracellularly, and electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride are regulated between these compartments. Fluid intake, output, and hormones like ADH work to maintain balance. Intravenous fluids include crystalloids like saline that distribute between compartments, and colloids that remain intravascular.
The document describes the process of conducting a physical examination. It defines physical examination and outlines the basic techniques used, including inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. It provides examples of common equipment used and examines different body systems. The document also discusses ensuring patient privacy and comfort during the examination.
This document discusses fundamentals of nursing and the nurse's role in the healthcare system. It defines key nursing terms and describes nursing practice. It also outlines the healthcare delivery system in Zambia, including different provider levels and factors that influence healthcare delivery such as policies, economics, disease burden and technology. Challenges in providing care are noted as well as the organization and functions of various hospital levels.
The document discusses fundamentals of nursing palliative care. Nursing and palliative care are natural partners, as all nurses should have palliative care skills. Palliative care aims to improve quality of life for terminally ill patients and their families by preventing and relieving suffering. It involves an interdisciplinary team approach to address physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. The role of nurses in palliative care focuses on symptom management, especially pain management, and providing 24-hour support.
This document discusses pain from a nursing perspective. It defines pain, explains the physiology of pain including pain receptors and signal transmission, and outlines the types of pain such as acute, chronic, idiopathic, and psychogenic pain. The document also discusses pain assessment and management in nursing, including using pain scales, relieving pain through measures like rest, relaxation, analgesia, and diversional therapy.
The document discusses the importance and purposes of documentation in nursing. Effective documentation allows nurses to communicate about patient care, promotes good nursing practices, and supports meeting legal and professional standards. It should provide an accurate account of assessments, interventions, and patient outcomes. The SOAP format is commonly used to document patient encounters and ensure comprehensive yet concise notes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
2. Memory
◦ This is the processes by which people and other organisms encode,
store, and retrieve information.
◦ Encoding refers to the initial perception and registration of
information.
◦ Storage is the retention of encoded information over time.
◦ Retrieval refers to the processes involved in using stored information.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 2
3. Memory cont
◦ Whenever people successfully recall a prior experience, they must have
encoded, stored, and retrieved information about the experience.
◦ Conversely, memory failure—for example, forgetting an important
fact—reflects a breakdown in one of these stages of memory.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 3
4. Introduction to memory cont
◦ Memory is critical to humans and all other living organisms.
◦ Practically all of our daily activities—talking, understanding, reading,
socializing—depend on our having learned and stored information
about our environments
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 4
5. Introduction to memory cont
◦ Memory allows us to retrieve events from the distant past or from
moments ago.
◦ It enables us to learn new skills and to form habits.
◦ Without the ability to access past experiences or information, we
would be unable to comprehend language, recognize our friends and
family members, find our way home, or even tie a shoe.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 5
6. Introduction to memory cont
◦ Life would be a series of disconnected experiences, each one new and
unfamiliar. Without any sort of memory, humans would quickly perish.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 6
7. Introduction to memory cont
◦ Memory and learning are closely related, and the terms often describe
roughly the same processes.
◦ The term learning is often used to refer to processes involved in the
initial acquisition or encoding of information, whereas the term
memory more often refers to later storage and retrieval of information.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 7
8. Introduction to memory cont
◦ However, this distinction is not hard and fast. After all, information is
learned only when it can be retrieved later, and retrieval cannot occur
unless information was learned.
◦ Thus, psychologists often refer to the learning/memory process as a
means of incorporating all facets of encoding, storage, and retrieval.

9. Types of memory
◦ Although the English language uses a single word for memory, there are
actually many different kinds.
◦ Most theoretical models of memory distinguish three main systems or
types:
sensory memory,
short-term or working memory, and
long-term memory.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 9
10. sensory memory,
◦ Sensory memory refers to the initial, momentary recording of
information in our sensory systems.
◦ When sensations strike our eyes, they linger briefly in the visual system.
◦ This kind of sensory memory is called iconic memory and refers to the
usually brief visual persistence of information as it is being interpreted
by the visual system.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 10
11. sensory memory
◦ Echoic memory is the name applied to the same phenomenon in the
auditory domain: the brief mental echo that persists after information
has been heard.
◦ Similar systems are assumed to exist for other sensory systems (touch,
taste, and smell), although researchers have studied these senses less
thoroughly.

13. sensory memory,
◦ American psychologist George Sperling demonstrated the existence of
sensory memory in an experiment in 1960.
◦ Sperling asked subjects in the experiment to look at a blank screen.
◦ Then he flashed an array of 12 letters on the screen for one-twentieth of
a second, arranged in the following pattern:
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 13
14. Sensory memory cont
◦ Subjects were then asked to recall as many letters
from the image as they could.
◦ Most could only recall four or five letters
accurately.
◦ Subjects knew they had seen more letters, but
they were unable to name them.
◦ Sperling hypothesized that the entire letter-array
image registered briefly in sensory memory, but
the image faded too quickly for subjects to “see”
all the letters.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 14
15. Sensory memory cont
◦ To test this idea, he conducted another experiment in which he sounded
a tone immediately after flashing the image on the screen.
◦ A high tone directed subjects to report the letters in the top row, a
medium tone cued subjects to report the middle row, and a low tone
directed subjects to report letters in the bottom row.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 15
16. Sensory memory cont
◦ Sperling found that subjects could accurately recall the letters in each
row most of the time, no matter which row the tone specified.
◦ Thus, all of the letters were momentarily available in sensory memory.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 16
17. Sensory memory cont
◦ Sensory memory systems typically function outside of awareness and
store information for only a very short time.
◦ Iconic memory seems to last less than a second.
◦ Echoic memory probably lasts a bit longer; estimates range up to three
or four seconds.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 17
18. Sensory memory cont
◦ Usually sensory information coming in next replaces the old information.
◦ For example, when we move our eyes, new visual input masks or erases
the first image. The information in sensory memory vanishes unless it
captures our attention and enters working
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 18
19. Short-Term or Working Memory
◦ Psychologists originally used the term short-term memory to refer to
the ability to hold information in mind over a brief period of time.
◦ As conceptions of short-term memory expanded to include more than
just the brief storage of information, psychologists created new
terminology.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 19
20. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ The term working memory is now commonly used to refer to a broader
system that both stores information briefly and allows manipulation and
use of the stored information.
◦ We can keep information circulating in working memory by rehearsing
it. For example, suppose you look up a telephone number in a directory.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 20
21. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ You can hold the number in memory almost indefinitely by saying it
over and over to yourself.
◦ But if something distracts you for a moment, you may quickly lose it and
have to look it up again.
◦ Forgetting can occur rapidly from working memory. For more
information on the duration of working memory,.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 21
22. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ Psychologists often study working memory
storage by examining how well people remember
a list of items.
◦ In a typical experiment, people are presented with
a series of words, one every few seconds. Then
they are instructed to recall as many of the words
as they can, in any order.
◦ Most people remember the words at the
beginning and end of the series better than those
in the middle.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 22
23. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ This phenomenon is called the serial position
effect because the chance of recalling an item is
related to its position in the series.
◦ The results from one such experiment are shown
in the accompanying chart entitled “Serial
Position Effect.”
◦ In this experiment, recall was tested either
immediately after presentation of the list items or
after 30 seconds.
◦ Subjects in both conditions demonstrated what is
known as the primacy effect, which is better recall
of the first few list items.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 23
24. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ Psychologists believe this effect occurs because
people tend to process the first few items more
than later items.
◦ Subjects in the immediate-recall condition also
showed the recency effect, or better recall of the
last items on the list.
◦ The recency effect occurs because people can
store recently presented information temporarily
in working memory.
◦ When the recall test is delayed for 30 seconds,
however, the information in working memory
fades, and the recency effect disappears.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 24
25. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ Working memory has a basic limitation:
◦ It can hold only a limited amount of information
at one time.
◦ Early research on short-term storage of
information focused on memory span—how
many items people can correctly recall in order.
◦ Researchers would show people increasingly long
sequences of digits or letters and then ask them
to recall as many of the items as they could.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 25
26. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ In 1956 American psychologist George Miller reviewed many
experiments on memory span and concluded that people could hold an
average of seven items in short-term memory.
◦ He referred to this limit as “the magical number seven, plus or minus
two” because the results of the studies were so consistent.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 26
27. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ More recent studies have attempted to separate
true storage capacity from processing capacity by
using tests more complex than memory span.
◦ These studies have estimated a somewhat lower
short-term storage capacity than did the earlier
experiments.
◦ People can overcome such storage limitations by
grouping information into chunks, or meaningful
units.
◦ This topic is discussed in the Encoding and
Recoding section of this article.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 27
28. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ Working memory is critical for mental work, or thinking.
◦ Suppose you are trying to solve the arithmetic problem 64 × 9 in your
head.
◦ You probably would need to perform some intermediate calculations in
your head before arriving at the final answer.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 28
29. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ The ability to carry out these kinds of
calculations depends on working memory
capacity, which varies individually.
◦ Studies have also shown that working memory
changes with age.
◦ As children grow older, their working memory
capacity increases.
◦ Working memory declines in old age and in
some types of brain diseases, such as
Alzheimer’s disease.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 29
30. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ Working memory capacity is correlated with intelligence (as measured
by intelligence tests).
◦ This correlation has led some psychologists to argue that working
memory abilities are essentially those that underlie general intelligence.
8/26/2019 Jones H.M-MBA 30
31. Short-Term or Working Memory
cont
◦ The more capacity people have to hold information in mind while they
think, the more intelligent they are.
◦ In addition, research suggests that there are different types of working
memory.
◦ For example, the ability to hold visual images in mind seems
independent from the ability to retain verbal information.
