What enables information to move from sensory memory into short term memory Quizlet

Q: How does information make it to short

A short-term memorys conversion to a long-term memory requires changes within the brain that protect the memory from interference from competing stimuli or disruption from injury or disease. This time-dependent process, whereby experiences achieve a permanent record in our memory, is called consolidation.

1. transience
- information has been encoded and stored, but decays over time before retrieval
- example: knowing yeso's brother's bday and not knowing it now

2. absentmindedness
- not paying attention/attention filtered out information, therefore can't retrieve infromation, it's not there (it's not available)
- example: being on my phone in class, then not knowing how to answer a question on my exam

3. blocking/accessibility
- information was encoded and stored, but it can't be found when needed
- example: me knowing sensory memory lasts for a few seconds, but not being able to remember this information on the exam

4. memory misattribution
- information is correct, but attributed to the wrong source
- example: me thinking I went out with Ryan Stack, when I went out with Ryan Denney

5. suggestibility
- when someone is externally given misleading information, and this causes them to remember something incorrectly
- for example: someone telling me that i played basketball when i was young, than me thinking i remembered me playing basketball

6. bias
- when present knowledge, beliefs, or feelings change/effect our memory of previous events
- for example: if my dad said he thought trump was an idiot when he got elected, he'd be basing that off of what he knows now.

7. persistence
- intrusive memory events we wish we could forget
- example: ugh my 18th birthday disaster

LTM contains thousands of concepts, each with very many connections - an effective storage, or 'filing', system that enables efficient and effective retrieval of information.

Semantic network theory proposes that information in LTM is organised systematically in the form of overlapping networks of concepts and units of information that are interconnected and interrelated by meaningful links.

A semantic network consists of nodes representing concepts, joined together by pathways that link related concepts - organised in a hierarchy according to particular concepts.

Nodes
Represent the concepts. Each node is linked with a number of other nodes. As we retrieve information, the activator of one node causes other related nodes to be activated.

Links (pathways)
Lines connecting the nodes are pathways; pathways (can be labelled) show how the concepts are related to one another.
The length of each pathway represents the degree of association between two concepts.
Shorter pathways imply stronger associations and therefore quicker retrieval times.

Example: Qantas Map - cities are the nodes
- arrows between the cities are the flight pathways

Retrieval of information from LTM starts with searching a particular region of memory and tracing associations for links in that region rather than randomly searching the whole LTM (like using Google as a search engine)

What enables information from sensory memory into short

Information is passed from the sensory memory into short-term memory via the process of attention (the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things), which effectively filters the stimuli to only those which are of interest at any given time.

Is information transferred from sensory to short

Information processing begins in sensory memory, moves to short-term memory, and eventually moves to long-term memory. Maintenance rehearsal and chunking are used to keep information in short-term memory. The capacity of long-term memory is large, and there is no known limit to what we can remember.

How does information make it to short

A short-term memory's conversion to a long-term memory requires changes within the brain that protect the memory from interference from competing stimuli or disruption from injury or disease. This time-dependent process, whereby experiences achieve a permanent record in our memory, is called consolidation.

What is the process of transferring information from short

Memory consolidation is the process where our brains convert short-term memories into long-term ones. Short-term memory tends to be quite limited in terms of duration and capacity.
