Memory - ANSWER- The retention of information or experience over time as a result of three
key processes :encoding, storage, and retrieval
Encoding - ANSWER- The first step in memory. The process by which information gets into
memory storage
Divided attention - ANSWER- Concentrating on more than one activity at the same time
Sustained attention - ANSWER- The ability to maintain attention to a selected stimulus for a
prolonged period of time
Multitasking - ANSWER- Dividing attention between 3 or more activities
Elaboration - ANSWER- The formation of a number of different connections around a stimulus
at any given level of memory encoding
Levels of processing - ANSWER- A continuum of memory processing from shallow, to
intermediate, to deep with deeper processing producing better memory
Storage - ANSWER- The retention of information over time and how this information is
represented in memory
Atkinson-Shiffrin Theory - ANSWER- Theory stating that memory storage involves three
separate systems; Sensory memory, short term memory, and long-term
, Sensory memory - ANSWER- Memory system that involves holding information from the

Iconic memory - ANSWER- refers to the visual century memory, which is retained only for

Short term memory - ANSWER- Limited capacity memory system in which information is

Working memory - ANSWER- A combination of componen that allow individuals to hold
information temporarily as they perform cognitive tasks. A kind of mental workbench on which
the brain manipulates and assembles information to guide understanding, decision making, and
problem
chunking - ANSWER- Grouping or packing information that exceeds the seven plus or minus
2 memory span into higher order units that can be remembered as single units

Long term memory - ANSWER- A relatively permanent type of memory that stores huge
