Human Memory: Basic Questions

Figure 7.2Three key processes in memory. Memory depends on three sequential processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Some theorists have drawn an analogy between these processes and elements of information processing by computers, as depicted here. The analogies for encoding and retrieval work pretty well, but the storage analogy is somewhat misleading. When information is stored on a hard drive, it remains unchanged indefinitely and you can retrieve an exact copy. As you will learn in this chapter, memory storage is a much more dynamic process. Our memories change over time and are rough reconstructions rather than exact copies of past events.

The role of attention Focusing awareness
Selective attention = selection of input Filtering: early or late?
Encoding: Getting Information Into Memory
![Page 5: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Figure 7.3Models of selective attention. Early-selection models propose that input is filtered before meaning is processed. Late-selection models hold that filtering occurs after the processing of meaning. There is evidence to support early, late, and intermediate selection, suggesting that the location of the attentional filter may not be fixed.

Incoming information processed at different levels: Deeper processing = longer lasting memory codes Encoding levels:
Structural = shallow Phonemic = intermediate Semantic = deep
Levels of Processing: Craik and Lockhart (1972)
![Page 7: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Figure 7.4Levels-of-processing theory. According to Craik and Lockhart (1972), structural, phonemic, and semantic encoding—which can be elicited by questions such as those shown on the right—involve progressively deeper levels of processing, which should result in more durable memories.

Analogy: information storage in computers ~ information storage in human memory
Information-processing theories Subdivide memory into 3 different stores
Sensory, Short-term, Long-term
Storage: Maintaining Information in Memory
![Page 11: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Figure 7.2Three key processes in memory. Memory depends on three sequential processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Some theorists have drawn an analogy between these processes and elements of information processing by computers, as depicted here. The analogies for encoding and retrieval work pretty well, but the storage analogy is somewhat misleading. When information is stored on a hard drive, it remains unchanged indefinitely and you can retrieve an exact copy. As you will learn in this chapter, memory storage is a much more dynamic process. Our memories change over time and are rough reconstructions rather than exact copies of past events.

Figure 7.8The Atkinson and Shiffrin model of memory storage. Atkinson and Shiffrin (1971) proposed that memory is made up of three information stores. Sensory memory can hold information just long enough (a fraction of a second) for a small portion of it to be selected for longer storage. Short-term memory has a limited capacity, and unless aided by rehearsal, its storage duration is brief. Long-term memory can store an apparently unlimited amount of information for indeterminate periods.

Brief preservation of information in original sensory form Auditory/Visual – approximately ¼ second
George Sperling (1960)Classic experiment on visual sensory store
Sensory Memory

Figure 7.9Sperling’s (1960) study of sensory memory. After the subjects had fixated on the cross, the letters were flashed on the screen just long enough to create a visual afterimage. High, medium, and low tones signaled which row of letters to report. Because subjects had to rely on the afterimage to report the letters, Sperling was able to measure how rapidly the afterimage disappeared by varying the delay between the display and the signal to report.

Limited capacity – magical number 7 plus or minus 2 Chunking – grouping familiar stimuli for storage as a
single unit Limited duration – about 20 seconds without rehearsal
Rehearsal – the process of repetitively verbalizing or thinking about the information
Short Term Memory (STM)
![Page 17: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Figure 7.10Peterson and Peterson’s (1959) study of short-term memory. After a warning light was flashed, the subjects were given three consonants to remember. The researchers prevented rehearsal by giving the subjects a three-digit number at the same time and telling them to count backward by three from that number until given the signal to recall the letters. By varying the amount of time between stimulus presentation and recall, Peterson and Peterson were able to measure how quickly information is lost from short-term memory.

STM not limited to phonemic encoding Loss of information not only due to decay Baddeley (1986) – 3 components of working memory
Phonological rehearsal loop Visuospatial sketchpad Executive control system
Short-Term Memory as “Working Memory”
![Page 19: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Figure 7.11Short-term memory as working memory. This diagram depicts the revised model of the short-term store proposed by Alan Baddeley (1986), who views STM as a mental scratchpad or temporary workspace. According to Baddeley, working memory includes three components: a phonological rehearsal loop, a visuospatial sketchpad, and an executive control system.

Figure 7.14A semantic network. Much of the organization of long-term memory depends on networks of associations among concepts. In this highly simplified depiction of a fragment of a semantic network, the shorter the line linking any two concepts, the stronger the association between them. The coloration of the concept boxes represents activation of the concepts. This is how the network might look just after a person hears the words fire engine. (Adapted from Collins & Loftus, 1975)

Retention – the proportion of material retained Recall Recognition Relearning
Ebbinghaus’s Forgetting Curve
Forgetting: When Memory Lapses
![Page 25: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Figure 7.17Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve for nonsense syllables. From his experiments on himself, Ebbinghaus concluded that forgetting is extremely rapid immediately after the original learning and then levels off. However, subsequent research has suggested that this forgetting curve is unusually steep. (Data from Ebbinghaus, 1885)

Why Do We Forget?
![Page 28: Chapter 7 Human Memory. n How does information get into memory? n How is information maintained in memory? n How is information pulled back out of memory?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/56649ea05503460f94ba30c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Figure 7.20Retroactive and proactive interference. Retroactive interference occurs when learning produces a “backward” effect, reducing recall of previously learned material. Proactive interference occurs when learning produces a “forward” effect, reducing recall of subsequently learned material. For example, if you were to prepare for an economics test and then study psychology, the interference from the psychology study would be retroactive interference. However, if you studied psychology first and then economics, the interference from the psychology study would be proactive interference.
