Changing a memory in order to understand it, whether that be visually, acoustically, or physically.

Explain the process of storage.
Where information is held to either be retrieved at a later date, or forgotten.
2 of 9

Finding the encoded information which as been stored in order to use it.

What is the sensory memory?
Information that comes from our senses.

What is the short-term memory (STM)?
A storage system that can hold 7+/-2 pieces of information for around 15 to 30 seconds.
5 of 9
What is the long-term memory (LTM)?
Long-term memory is where information from the STM which is rehearsed goes to. It has an unlimited capacity and can hold info forever.

What does decay mean?
When information gets more and more faint and things are/can be forgotten.
7 of 9
Describe the multi-store model of memory. (6 marks)
Info comes through the senses and goes to the sensory memory, attention to it moves it onto the STM, rehearsing it can move it again to the LTM, but decay can cause pieces of information to be forgotten.
8 of 9
Evaluate the multi-store model of memory.
Other cases support the theory, but not everything we remember has to be rehearsed - e.g. important events in life only happen once yet they are remembered.
