Slide 2 Text: According to Wickens, 1984, information processing begins when a stimuli hits one or many of our five senses. Once that stimuli is sensed, our long-term memory determines if this stimuli is something experienced before (like the smell of a lemon) or is a new sensation. If it is a new sensation, then it is put into short term memory (often referred to as working memory) until a decision and response is selected (is this a good or bad sensation). Once a response is made (that is very

smelling, tasting, seeing, touching. Short term memory is when the information from sensory memory goes to short term memory to be processed for only 30 seconds. Long term memory is when information from short term memory has passed to long term memory to be saved for longer time. The tradition three-stage memory model starts off with sensory memory, then information from sensory memory goes onto short term memory, the information after that goes to long term memory. Sensory memory has a big capacity

with my short-term memory, I would use the chunking method to categorize information to help me remember them better.

If I keep repeating what happened in my head, then eventually it will be stored in my long-term memory. If

skill is learned it is stored in short-term memory and then once it is practiced often it is stored into long-term memory available for retrieval and instant application (Carlson, 2010). For example, in order to learn how to ride a bike you constantly practice being able to steady yourself while pushing the peddles in order to move forward. By the time you learn how to ride the bike you have practiced the skill so much that it is imprinted in your long term memory. Region of Brain Damaged The area

deals with the study and the analysis of the sequence of events that occur in a person’s mind while receiving some new piece of information. (Schraw, 2003-2009).

Sensory memory processes incoming sensory information for very brief periods of time, usually
