Encoding: Getting Information Into Memory
The role of attention
Focusing awareness
Selective attention = selection of input
– Filtering: early or late? – F 7.3
Multitasking – issues of driving performance and cell
phone use – study by Strayer and Johnson (2001) –
F 7.4

Table of Contents
Levels of Processing: Craik and Lockhart (1972)
Incoming information processed at different levels: F
7.5
Deeper processing = longer lasting memory codes
Encoding levels:
– Structural = shallow
– Phonemic = intermediate
– Semantic = deep
– Study results – F 7.6

Enriching Encoding: Improving Memory
Elaboration = linking a
stimulus to other information at
the time of encoding
– Thinking of examples
Visual Imagery = creation of
visual images to represent
words to be remembered
– Easier for concrete objects: Dual-
coding theory – Figure 7.7, Paivio
et al. (1968) >>>>>>>>>>>
Self-Referent Encoding
– Making information personally
meaningful

Storage: Maintaining Information in Memory
Analogy: information storage in computers ~ information storage in human memory
Information-processing theories – Atkinson & Shiffrin (1977) – Subdivide memory into 3 different stores
• Sensory, Short-term, Long-term
xx 7.8
Table of Contents
Sensory Memory
Brief preservation of information in original sensory
form
Auditory/Visual – approximately ¼ second
– George Sperling (1960)
• Classic experiment on visual sensory store
• Partial report procedure – F 7.9
Table of Contents
xx 7.9
Table of Contents
Short Term Memory (STM)
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
– Peterson and Peterson (1959) – F 7.10
– Rehearsal – the process of repetitively verbalizing or
thinking about the information

Table of Contents
Short-Term Memory as “Working Memory”
STM not limited to phonemic encoding
Loss of information not only due to decay
Baddeley (2001) – 4 components of working memory
– F 7.11
– Phonological rehearsal loop
– Visuospatial sketchpad
– Executive control system
– Episodic buffer

Long-Term Memory: Unlimited Capacity
Penfield’s neural stimulation – p. 284 – data was reinterpreted
Permanent storage? – Flashbulb memories
– Brown and Kulick (1977) – study of assassinations
– Talarico & Rubin (2003) – page 285-286 data in F 7.12 – 9-11 study
– Recall through hypnosis
Debate: are STM and LTM really different? – Phonemic vs.
Semantic encoding
– Decay vs. Interference based forgetting

How is Knowledge Represented and Organized in Memory?
Clustering and Conceptual Hierarchies – F 7.13
Schemas and Scripts – Shank & Abelson (1977)
Semantic Networks – Collins & Loftus (1975) – Figure 7.14
Connectionist Networks and PDP Models – McClelland and
colleagues - pattern of activity – neuron based model

Retrieval: Getting Information Out of Memory
The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon – a failure in retrieval – Retrieval cues – Brown & McNeil (1966) study – resolve
block 57% of the time with first letter of failed to retrieve word
Recalling an event – Context cues – Godden & Baddeley (1975) – context-
dependent memory study with scuba divers
– Bartlett memory research – War of the Ghosts – F 7.15
Reconstructing memories – Loftus studies – Loftus & Palmer (1974) – Figure 7.16 – I: smashed (40.8); collided
(39.3); bumped (38.1); hit (34.0); contacted (31.8) II: smashed (32%) hit (14%) control (12%) (broken glass?)
– Misinformation effect
• Source monitoring, reality monitoring
• cryptomnesia
Table of Contents
Seven Sins of Memory – Daniel L. Schacter
Transience – loss of
memory over time
Absent Mindedness –
breakdown of interface
between attention & memory
Blocking – thwarted search
for information to retrieve
Bias – influence of current
knowledge and belief on how
we remember our past
Misattribution – assigning a
memory to the wrong source
Suggestibility – memories
implanted as a result of
leading questions,
comments or suggestions
when a person is trying to
recall a past experience
Persistence – repeated
recall of disturbing
information or events that
one may want to forget
