used in different ways, as well as there are many different ways to study how memory works in humans. In psychology there are many tasks used to measure memory and different types of memory storages that human's use, such as sensory storing, or short term storing. There are also a lot of techniques that humans use to improve their memory, which they can use to learn, such as mnemonic devices. All these things can be classified as important issues in the study of human memory and ways of learning

The description and evaluation on the Working Memory Model Developed by Baddeley and Hitch (74’), the working memory model represents our short term memory; it is a dynamic processor of different types of information. The working memory model is categorised into four components which take on different roles when in the process of either storing or manipulating information. At the top of the model we have the central executive which is seen at the most important part of the model, its role is to

memory can be considered the brain’s short term memory storage, and it is also known as working memory. It comes into play just after a person’s awareness narrows on certain environmental sensory data (most external data is filtered out of awareness). It is defined by the duration and the amounts of data in which it stores at any given time, which as the term short term memory implies is rather short and brief. Using the computer analogy for memory if long term memory is the hard drive for experiences

The most frequently repeated study of automatic behaviour is the Stroop test, named after John Ridley Stroop who first published in 1935, he wanted to create an experimental method that would enable one to measure the interference of one stimulus dimension on another (Henik, 1996). It aids with diagnosing and characterizing different psychiatric and neurological disorders. Stroop’s experiment involved presenting subjects with the names of colours, in various colours of ink. Subjects needed to read

impact, continued to be attended to, and hence was not lost from sensory memory, but entered his short-term memory (STM). The short-term memory has a capacity of 5 to 9 pieces of information (Grivas, 2007), which can occasionally reach 30 seconds in duration. Again, because of the significance of the event, Sgt. Jackson would have attended to the memory which allowed it to be passed into the long-term memory (LTM), specifically into his episodic declarative memory. The information, in Sgt.

easily forget what was just said. When watching television we only tap into the emotional side of our brain, and never think logically. Everything we learn from television goes into our short-term memory, but when we use traditional curriculum, we have to think and comprehend everything, which goes into our long-term memory. For me personally, I am a much better learner when I have to read and comprehend something on my own. To summarize, people are becoming more dependent on electronics. If we

memory Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) Do you think you have a good memory? What is your earliest memory? The multi-store model is a structural model which states that memory is made up of 3 distinct, separate stores: sensory memory, short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM). Each of the stores can be analysed based on three factors: 1) Capacity: how much information can be stored 2) Duration: the amount of time the information can be stored 3) Encoding: how the information is represented by

details and roles of Short-Term and Long-Term memory, as well as affects that attention has on memory and how it all ties into the process of forgetting. In addition, I will explain how to avoid common problems with forgetting. Short-Term & Long Term Memory Short-term memory holds the information that we are thinking about or are aware of at any given moment. This kind of memory is what holds things such as dreams. Everything that we learn and retain is stored in Long term memory. An example of

1. What is primary memory? What are the characteristics of primary memory? Primary memory is known in layman’s terms as short-term memory. Primary memory is where information is stored when it is first obtained. It (primary memory) is also a staging ground for thought (Willingham, 2007). Willingham (2007) also states that primary memory “both retrieves information from secondary memory and takes in information from the environment” (p. 144). According to Willingham (2007), it may do this “for
