Lasts ¼ sec. --3 sec. • short term memory: info from sensory memory and long term memory. limited capacity for info. Lasts 30 sec. • long term memory: info from short term memory. Unlimited capacity. Potentially permanent. Cristen Klute 10/05

  4. Ways to remember… • Maintenance Rehearsal: Consciously rehearsing information • Chunking: grouping of related items together into a single unit • Elaborative rehearsal: focus on the meaning of information to encode it into long term memory. Cristen Klute 10/05

  5. Levels of Processing Framework • information processed at a deeper level is more likely to be remembered than information processed at a shallower level Cristen Klute 10/05

  6. Types of Information • Procedural Information: long term memory of how to perform different skills (ex. bike riding, typing) • Episodic Information: long term memories of events in your life (your wedding, prom, going to the grocery store) • Semantic Information: general knowledge that includes facts, names, concepts, ideas Cristen Klute 10/05
