Clues

  • A measure of how long a memory lasts before it is no longer available. (8)
  • An explanation of memory based on three separate memory stores, and how information is transferred between these stores. (5, 5, 5)
  • An explanation of the memory used when working on a task. Each store is qualitatively different. (7, 6, 5)
  • Codes speech sounds in working memory, typically involving maintenance rehearsal. (12, 4)
  • Personal memories of events, such as what you did yesterday or a teacher you liked. This kind of memory includes contextual details plus emotional tone. (8, 6)
  • Shared memories for facts and knowledge. These memories may be concrete such as knowing that ice is made of water, or abstract, such as mathematical knowledge. (8, 6)
  • This is a measure of how much can be held in memory. It is represented in terms of bits of information, such as number of digits. (8)
  • This is the information at the senses. Information is retained for a brief period. We are only able to hold accurate images of sensory information momentarily. The capacity is very large and the method of coding depends on the organ involved. (7, 8)
  • Your memory for events that have happened in the past. LTM has potentially unlimited duration and capacity and tends to be coded semantically. (4, 4, 6, 3)
  • Your memory for immediate events. STMs are measured in seconds and minutes rather than hours and days. They disappear unless rehearsed. STM also has a limited capacity of about four chunks of information and tends to be coded acoustically. (5, 4, 6, 3)
