after an injury or a surgery, the brain's inability to make NEW memories -
✔✔Anterograde Amnesia
the three step model (1968) three-stage model of memory includes sensory
memory, short-term memory and long-term memory (Information Processing)
- ✔✔Atkinson-Shiffrin Model/1968
unconscious encoding of incidental information, such as space, time, and
frequency, and of well-learned information, such as word meanings. -
✔✔automatic processing/encoding
organizing items into familiar, manageable units; often occurs automatically.

processing/encoding
rehearsing information by relating new information to information already in
long-term memory (i.e., using a song, give it meaning/semantics, SQRRR, etc.)
- ✔✔elaborative rehearsal
refers to the brain's occasional failure to create a memory link. -
✔✔encoding failure
the processing of information into the memory system—for example, by
extracting meaning. - ✔✔encoding
memories from personally experienced events. - ✔✔episodic long term
memory
memory of facts and experiences that one can consciously know and
"declare." (Also called declarative memory; memories start in hippocampus) -
✔✔explicit memory
