    1. 1 Module 26: Memory

    2. 2 Memory Memory is the basis of knowing your friends, your neighbors, the English language, the national anthem, and yourself. If there was no memory every one would be a stranger to you, every language foreign, every task new, and even you yourself would be a stranger. An event is such a little piece of time and space, leaving only a mindglow behind like the tail of a shooting star. Far a lack of a better word, we call that scintillation memory.

    3. 3 The Phenomenon of Memory Memory is any indication that learning has persisted over time. It is our ability to store and retrieve information. OBJECTIVE 24-1| Define memory, and explain how flashbulb memories differ from other memories.OBJECTIVE 24-1| Define memory, and explain how flashbulb memories differ from other memories.

    4. 4 Flashbulb Memory An unique and highly emotional moment can give rise to clear, strong, and persistent memory called flashbulb memory. Though this memory is not free from errors.

    5. 5 Stages of Memory

    6. 6 Information Processing Atkinson-Schiffrin (1968) three-stage model of memory includes a) sensory memory, b) short-term memory and c) long-term memory. OBJECTIVE 24-2| Describe Atkinson-Schiffrin’s classic three-stage model of memory and explain how contemporary model of working memory differs.OBJECTIVE 24-2| Describe Atkinson-Schiffrin’s classic three-stage model of memory and explain how contemporary model of working memory differs.

    7. 7 Modifications to the Three-Stage Model Some information skips the first two stages and enters long-term memory automatically. Since we cannot focus on all the sensory information received, we select information that is important to us and actively process it into our working memory.

    8. 8 Working Memory Alan Baddeley (2002) proposes working memory to contain auditory, visual processing controlled by central executive, through episodic buffer. A newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory A newer understanding of short-term memory that involves conscious, active processing of incoming auditory and visual-spatial information, and of information retrieved from long-term memory
