- Memory The process in which we store and retain information and events
- Capacity
- how much memory can be stored
- Duration
- how long a memory is stored in the brain before it is forgotten or lost
- Encoding
- the way the information or event is stored
- STM
- Duration Peterson and Peterson the random word study, they found 90% remembered the word after an amount of seconds but after 18 sec only 2% remembered
- shows that STM's duration is very small less than 30sec
- Capacity Miller's magical numbers 7+/- 2
- STM encoding is acoustic (sound) for example when we repeat numbers over and over again to remember it (we are really trying to keep it in our STM)
- Duration Peterson and Peterson the random word study, they found 90% remembered the word after an amount of seconds but after 18 sec only 2% remembered
