1. Structure of memory-memory is characterised as a flow of information through a system, information goes from one store to the other in a one way flow
2. There are 3 different types of memory
sensory: the very first store, comes in from the environment and is stored for a short period of time before it decays or moves on.
STM: second store, small amount of information, doesnt hold information for long, encoded by acoustic.
LTM: Last store, informaiton that is rehursed ends up here, and lasts a lifetime although can be lost through decay; retrival failure or interference. encoded by simatic (understanding what it is/means)
3. Each memory store has constraints-each has a capacity, and duriation, and are limited and different at each stage. each store endodes date in different way.
4. There are two control processes which transfer information-moves from sensory store to STM and then from STM to LTM
5. Inforamtion is lost from the stores in different ways- sensory store lost by no attention, STM lost by unrehursed and new replaces old, LTM lost by being similar to other information or cannot recall as no cues
