Memory Psychology: Types and Processes

This page provides a comprehensive overview of memory types and processes in psychology, focusing on the multi-store model of memory and various memory retrieval methods. It delves into the intricacies of episodic, semantic, and procedural memory, as well as the encoding and retrieval processes essential for understanding how our minds store and access information.

The document begins by defining memory as the encoding, storage, and retrieval of stored information when needed. It then outlines the three main types of memory:

Episodic Memory: This refers to memories of personal events or experiences in one's life.

Example: An episodic memory could be a holiday you took last year.

Semantic Memory: This type of memory is for facts and general knowledge.

Example: Knowing that the capital city of England is London is an instance of semantic memory.

Procedural Memory: This memory helps us recall information for complicated skills.

Example: Recalling how to ride a bike is a procedural memory. This type of memory is stored using a motor code rather than a verbal code.

The page then delves into the multi-store model of memory, explaining the characteristics of short-term memory $STM$ and long-term memory $LTM$ :

Short-Term Memory $STM$ :

Information passes from the sensory store to STM
Limited duration of up to 30 seconds
Capacity of 2-7 items
Encoding is mainly acoustic $based on sound$

Long-Term Memory $LTM$ :

Information passes from STM to LTM through deep processing
No specific duration limit; could last a lifetime
Unlimited capacity
Encoding is mainly semantic $based on meaning$

The document also covers the three main encoding processes:

Acoustic Encoding: Holding information in memory in the form of sound.

Example: Repeating a phone number to yourself until you can remember it.

Visual Encoding: Storing information in memory in the form of a picture.

Example: Visualizing your garden when asked about its size.

Semantic Encoding: Encoding information through its meaning.

Definition: The ability to understand and use words and concepts.

Lastly, the page discusses retrieval processes:

Recall: Searching our memory for information.

Example: Being asked for the capital of Bermuda and recalling the answer from memory.

Recognition: Being presented with items and asked if we remember them from previous exposure.
Re-learning: Being exposed to previously learned but forgotten information and relearning it more quickly.

This comprehensive overview provides a solid foundation for understanding the key concepts in memory psychology, including the working memory model, episodic vs semantic vs procedural memory, and the processes of memory in psychology.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
