“Types” of Memory
• Sensory Memory– brief ( < 1 second)– preattentive / parallel processing (very
large capacity)
![Page 5: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Capacity
• Describe a simple experiment that could measure the capacity of “memory”
![Page 7: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Capacity
• Describe a simple experiment that could measure the capacity of “memory”
• Briefly present some letters or digits and then ask the subject to report them– Called “whole report”

Capacity
“Recall as many letters as you can”
![Page 11: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Capacity
• George Sperling - Systematic investigation of memory capacity
– Result: subjects accurately recall 3 or 4 items
– What can you conclude from this result?
– Maybe subjects can only hold 3 or 4 items?
![Page 12: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Capacity
• Could it be that subjects had encoded all the letters but failed to retrieve the information?
![Page 13: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Capacity
• For example: What if they forgot the information before they could report it?– You would get the same result!
• How could you modify the experiment to measure the instantaneous capacity, before any forgetting can occur?
![Page 14: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Capacity
• Partial Report - briefly present letters or digits and ask subject to report only some of them
“Report the letters in the row indicated by the arrow”
![Page 15: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Capacity
• Partial Report

Capacity
• There is some part of the perception system that stores huge amounts of information…
– in fact, if only a single letter is probed, instantaneous capacity is seen to be unlimited
![Page 23: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Duration
• There is some part of the perception system that stores huge amounts of information…
• But for how long? How would you design an experiment to measure the duration of this high-capacity memory system?
![Page 24: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Duration
• There is some part of the perception system that stores huge amounts of information…

Iconic Memory
• a brief storage of “raw data” in the visual system
![Page 28: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Echoic Memory
• Auditory information is stored in a similar sensory “buffer”– Echoic memory seems to last for several
seconds
![Page 29: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Short-Term Memory
• process by which we hold information “in mind”
![Page 34: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Short-Term Memory
• process by which we hold information “in mind”
• example: temporarily remembering a phone number
![Page 35: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Duration? Capacity?
• How could one measure these parameters?
![Page 36: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Duration– Brown-Petersen Task:
• subject is given a trigram (e.g. C-F-W) to remember
• vocal rehearsal is prevented by counting backwards
• recall accuracy tested as a function of retention interval
![Page 37: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• STM decays over seconds
![Page 38: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Duration– Brown-Petersen Task Interpretation: rapid
loss of information in STM (over a period of seconds…much longer than sensory memory)
![Page 39: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– How might you measure capacity?
![Page 40: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– George Miller – Subject is given longer and longer lists of to-
be-remembered items (words, characters, digits)
![Page 41: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– George Miller – Subject is given longer and longer lists of to-
be-remembered items (words, characters, digits)
– Result: Subjects are successful up to about 7 items
![Page 42: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!
![Page 43: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!– Recalling takes time !
![Page 44: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Characteristics of STM
• Limited Capacity– What confound must be considered ?!– Recalling takes time !– It seems that the “capacity” of STM (at least
measured in this way) depends on the rate of speech - faster speech leads to apparently larger capacity
– Some believe capacity is “2 - 3 seconds worth of speech”
![Page 45: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Why do we “forget” from STM?– Does the memory trace decay?
• not likely because with very small lists (like 1 item) retention is high for long intervals
![Page 46: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Why do we “forget” from STM?– Does the memory trace decay?
• not likely because with very small lists (like 1 item) retention is high for long intervals
– Instead, it seems that information “piles up” and begins to interfere
![Page 47: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
![Page 48: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
• For example, severity of interference depends on meaning
![Page 49: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Interference in STM is complex and specific
• For example, severity of interference depends on meaning– Subjects are given successive recall tasks with
list items from the same category (e.g. fruits)– final list is of either same or different category -
how is good is recall on this list?
![Page 50: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Forgetting from STM
• Accuracy rebounds if category changes
![Page 51: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Coding in STM
• How is information coded in STM?
![Page 52: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate of
speech
![Page 53: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Coding in STM
• Clues about coding in STM:– # of items stored in STM depends on rate of
speech– phonological similarity effect: similar sounding
words are harder to store/recall than different sounding words
![Page 54: Opportunities for extra credit: Keep checking at: .](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/551a011c550346634a8b4864/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Coding in STM
• It is also possible to “keep in mind” non-verbal information, such as a map
Are there two different STM systems?
