  2. Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson–Shiffrin_memory...

    Multi-store model: Atkinson and Shiffrin's (1968) original model of memory, consisting of the sensory register, short-term store, and long-term store. The model of memories is an explanation of how memory processes work. The three-part, multi-store model was first described by Atkinson and Shiffrin in 1968, [1] though the vac idea of distinct ...

  3. Information processing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing_theory

    The information processing theory simplified is comparing the human brain to a computer or basic processor. It is theorized that the brain works in a set sequence, as does a computer. The sequence goes as follows, "receives input, processes the information, and delivers an output". This theory suggests that we as humans will process information ...

  4. Storage (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_(memory)

    Storage (memory) In mental memory, storage is one of three fundamental stages along with encoding and retrieval. Memory is the process of storing and recalling information that was previously acquired. Storing refers to the process of placing newly acquired information into memory, which is modified in the brain for easier storage.

  5. Long-term memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_memory

    Long-term memory ( LTM) is the stage of the Atkinson–Shiffrin memory model in which informative knowledge is held indefinitely. It is defined in contrast to sensory memory, the initial stage, and short-term or working memory, the second stage, which persists for about 18 to 30 seconds. LTM is grouped into two categories known as explicit ...

  6. Baddeley's model of working memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baddeley's_model_of_working...

    Baddeley and Hitch's model of working memory. Baddeley's model of working memory is a model of human memory proposed by Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch in 1974, in an attempt to present a more accurate model of primary memory (often referred to as short-term memory ). Working memory splits primary memory into multiple components, rather than ...

  7. Information processing (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_processing...

    In cognitive psychology, information processing is an approach to the goal of understanding human thinking that treats cognition as essentially computational in nature, with the mind being the software and the brain being the hardware. [1] It arose in the 1940s and 1950s, after World War II. [2] The information processing approach in psychology ...

  8. Levels of Processing model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levels_of_Processing_model

    There are three levels of processing in this model. Structural processing, or visual, is when we remember only the physical quality of the word E.g how the word is spelled and how letters look. Phonemic processing includes remembering the word by the way it sounds. E.G the word tall rhymes with fall.

    Approximate number system. Parallel individuation system. v. t. e. Overview of the forms and functions of memory. Memory is the faculty of the mind by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action. [1]
