Information Processing Model
Information Processing• Sensory Memory
– fraction of a second– iconic and echoic
• Short-term Memory– duration: 2-30 seconds– capacity: 7+2 pieces of information– maintenance rehearsal– chunking– interference
Information Processing
• Long-term Memory– relatively permanent storage of information– encoding– elaborative rehearsal– recognition memory– recall memory
Elaborative Rehearsal
• Implicit and Explicit Memory– In LTM
• Implicit memory– Unintentional and automatic– Stable through lifespan
• Explicit memory– Deliberate and effortful– Recognition and recall tests– Increases until old age
Development of Memory: Infancy• Recognition memory: foot-kick paradigm
• Recall memory
• Child Learning and Memory – Why memory improves
–Basic capacities• Faster, more efficient processing• Storage capacity stable• Automaticity
–Strategies improve• Rehearsal by age 7• Organization by age 10• Elaboration later
• Metamemory–Knowledge of memory–Memory monitoring and regulation –Evidence by age 2
• Unrealistic estimations• Accuracy by age 6
–Linked to improved memory
